Jose and his wife are really great persons. Despite I didn't speak that much spanish, I tried hard to understand and to speak in it and it counted a lot for them. Showing willingness of integration can really connet you with your host. Thay had a lot of patience speaking to me slowly and with easy words. Thanks to them my spanish is now much better ! The working hours were respected. There are usually in the afternoon but Jose is flexible about that. The place where i lived is perfect: a place whare you can sleep, a kitchen to make your own food and a shower. Recommend 100%!

Excelente voluntariado, gente muy buena que vale mucho la pena encontrarse en la vida! Son excelentes anfitriones, siempre preocupado de cómo están sus voluntarios, te llevan a conocer la zona, etc... Pillo y pili los mejores! En el trabajo hacíamos cosas un poco de pintura, carpintería, jardines, etc, nada muy difícil para nosotros! la casa que nos pasaron muy equipada con todo lo necesario y muy confortable poder estar en un lugar así con todas las comodidades! Espero poder verlos nuevamente!! Gracias pili y pillo !!!

Una gran experiencia, gracias Pillo y Pili son buenas personas de verdad, siempre quieren ayudarte y que estés cómodo. Son muy divertidos y algunos días trabajamos menos horas que las estimadas y no hubo problema alguno. Nos dieron un paseo por la zona y nos abrieron las puertas de su casa. El lugar para dormir es un lujo, mejor que un hotel 5 estrellas. Recomiendo mucho este lugar, estarás cerca de hermosas playas para surfear e increíbles paisajes de campo y naturaleza. Fueron como unos padres para nosotros. Muchas gracias
