The Experience

Hello: The activities to be carried out will depend on the time of year: agroecology (vegetable garden, olive grove, etc...), and participating in the construction of a small house. The schedule in the countryside is more conditioned by the weather than by me. The volunteer will have a caravan at their disposal for privacy and rest. The farm is a 7-minute walk from the village, so a vehicle is not necessary for managing your free time.

Raúl is an absolute great person, kind, respectful and good to chat! He is very flexible, adapt the tasks and routines with no problems according to situations, so the whole experience was great on those aspects. Only important point to notice in my opinion is about the "sound privacy" after lunch, is the time for the Siesta and Raúl would need silence on the farm to sleep, but the commom areas are inside the house (so is impossible not to make any noise) and is the only place available to be in the farm, as in summer is too hot to be in the Caravan (the volunteer private space)

Marcos, now that I’ve seen the message. Sorry for the delay, but I don’t usually drop by here. I really appreciate your words. Your stay here has made me reflect a lot on this matter, and I decided not to have volunteers again in the summer. Those high temperatures make it hard to live together in small spaces. You’re absolutely right. I hope everything is going smoothly over there, and that you’ve tasted the sweet honey of the siesta. A hug!

Raúl fue siempre muy amable, respetuoso, cordial y flexible. Siempre está dispuesto a establecer acuerdos y escucharte respecto a si estás cómodo o no. Además, es siempre muy servicial haciéndote sentir que eres libre para ocupar los espacios, la cocina y comunicar aquello que no te guste. Por último, también es una persona que sabe mucho y siempre está dispuesto a intercambiar esos conocimientos contigo o simplemente establecer una conversación trivial para pasar un buen rato. Le agradezco mucho a él, a nina y a las gallinas jajaja, siempre me sentí muy a gusto allí! 💗

Dafne! I'm sorry I didn't reply. I always check the platform through the mobile app and I didn't see the messages received haha... we appreciate you (all the animals that inhabit this corner) your words. And I take the opportunity to also thank you for that predisposition to good vibes, to laughter, that savoir-faire, which is what I remember most. I hope everything is going great over there.

Tuve una experiencia genial con Raúl y su perrita Nina ! Descubri una finca típica de la región de la vera con muchos olivos. Aprendí a recoger aceitunas, y ví todo el proceso para hacer aceite. Comí bien y rico en la finca de Raúl aunque no come mucha carne. Pero nunca sentí que me faltó algo, porque la comida era muy rica! Raúl es una persona muy amable y su perrita Nina da mucho amor !

fleau rian! Now that I see the message. Thank you very much for your words. And I appreciate the moments of entertainment, and the moments of work. You worked hard here; you were in at a powerful moment, the olive harvest. And you gave it your all. Thanks a lot. La Nina gives you a lick. Enjoy life
