This was my first volunteering experience, and it was amazing! The place offers a peaceful environment, perfect for disconnecting, recharging, and reconnecting with nature.
Manuel made us feel welcome and was always kind, thoughtful, and making sure we were comfortable. I really appriciated those small acts of kindness that make you feel truly cared for. Beyond being a great host, he's someone you can learn so much from. Whether it's about nature, sustainability, or simply life, every conversation felt meaningful and inspiring. I'll always be grateful for this experience :)

We had a very nice time with Manuel in the farm :) The setting is beautiful and peaceful and it was lovely to always have the animals around us while we worked. Manuel cooked some delicious meals for us and taught us a lot about Asturias. Hours were respected and tasks were enjoyable, we weren't expected to do anymore than we felt able for on any given day. The property is quite isolated so we were glad to have had the car to explore the surrounding towns and national parks. Overall I would recommend this experience to anyone looking for a relaxing space to get in touch with nature. Thank you!

This was my first Worldpackers as well as my partners, and I don’t even know where to start. It exceeded everything I could have ever imagined. Manuel felt like family. He introduced us to so many amazing traditional meals, encouraged us to go out and see things, and it felt like his number one priority was making sure we were having a good time. The tasks were exactly as I expected and both myself and my partner had fun doing them. Manuel has so much wisdom to share about food, Asturias, the environment and everything in between. Manuel thank you for everything. Missing you & the animals.

Manuel is an amazing host and inspiring and knowledgeable kind person. He taught me so much about yoga, ecological farming, and so much more. His place is situated in the most beautiful spot in the mountains with 360 breathtaking views. He took me hiking, to the beach, to town, etc… I will cherish my time here always, I cannot wait to come back and see me friend again. Much love! (will miss Selki the dog lots!)

Manuel is a kind and open host who truly wants you to have a great experience. We had a lot of freedom with our tasks, which vary by season, and enjoyed hikes, the beach, and yoga in our free time. The area is beautiful and a great place to disconnect and connect with nature and locals. The house is cozy but can be chilly—even in summer—so pack warm clothes. We had a lovely time and I already miss the sweet animals!🏔🏞☀️

I had a wonderful time at Manuels farm. It was my first volunteering and I'm so happy I got to do it with him. I felt comfortable, learned a lot from him, and enjoyed the time in peaceful nature and with astonishing views! The animals all keep you company, the tasks were gardening and taking care of the land, as well as lots of healthy cooking. I definitely recommend taking some time off and immersing yourself at Manuels beautiful sanctuary. Thank you for everything!

Manuel made us feel so welcomed and was truly accommodating. I learned so much during my time here. I learned about sustainability, food design systems and about the general culture. Manuel took us to a couple very beautiful spots on our days off and I was truly mesmerized by what I saw! Regarding tasks, I helped with cooking, cleaning, weeding the garden and whatever task needed to be handled that day. During free time we were able to practice yoga, hike around and explore. I recommend this experience to anyone who truly enjoys nature and spirituality!

I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed this experience. This was my first Worldpackers volunteer position so I wasn't sure what to expect but everything exceeded my expectations. Staying with Manuel felt like staying with a family member. He made us feel very at home and welcome and gave us a ton of autonomy over what we helped out with day to day. The tasks weren't too demanding so we had a lot of free time to explore the land and relax. Manuel also had a lot to share about sustainability and we enjoyed talking with him during meal times and other times throughout the day.
