My experience at the hostel was very different and wonderful, because it was in the low season we did activities related to planting fruits and roses. I met other volunteers and was able to practice Spanish. Alban is very helpful and flexible, one of the best hosts I have ever met, a great person, the location of the hostel is great and the city is beautiful, I highly recommend it and I will definitely be back.
