The work:
Your time table is arround 4h/day 6 days a week. Could be the morning or the afternoon, it depends a lot about the weather (too hot or too cold), how many people are here, your life style and else. Fur sure when it is hot period, it will be early the morning, be prepare to wake up to be ready at 9am.
Tasks:
-Main task is clean the land (use the electric weed cutter, the wood cruncher, move stones...)
Then secondary tasks are:
-Create sport areas, as a bike/running track, yoga terrace...
-Build wooden structures with timber and as much as possible sustainable materials
About you:
You have to be productive, not stop every 15 minutes or do a 1h task in 4h.
Be sure that you are motivated to do manual work before apply.
It is country side work, so it can be physical and dirty.
Also flies will be happy to bother with you during the work XD
My help:
I will explain you your task, but I will mostly do something else, so you will be independent.
Community tasks (logical):
-Cook sometimes
-clean your accommodation
-feed the plants with the water you use
About your stay:
I propose 3 kinds of accommodations for your nights:
- One tiny wooden house (5m2) with one single bed (+ heater for the winter)
- A closed tree hut (not for claustrophobic person) with a single bed and a terrace
- A floor hut with a single bed and a view
There is a shared outdoor bathroom only for volunteers, with eco toilets and shower with hot water and heater.
Activities & Shift
2 Ebikes are available to go arround by yourself. Other better Ebikes are ready to go for sessions of EMTB.
The activities that you can do with other volonteers outside of the land:
-Go to the river with the Ebikes (+/-45min with ebike)
-Go hikking (first spot is arround 20min by Ebike and +/-2h of track)
-Visit villages arround
Activities that I mostly have to go with you:
-Go Ebike treck, arround 20 to 40km mostly (easy to mid hard ways)
-Surf or kayak (surf is possible but very rare)
-Visit cities like Valencia, Tarragona, Barcelona (we share the fees for gasoline...)
-Go to the beach (the beautiful beach are a bit too far away to go by ebike)
Activities on site:
-Chill in lot of dedicated places with views
-Use the actual "fake swimming pool" very good to refresh, but you can't swim
-Watching movies the night with the outdoor cinema (March to November)
-Play music (I have some electronic music groovebox)
-Art painting
Rules
Respect is important. If you do not respond in a day, I will not accept your apply. Also if you take too much time to confirm.
I only provide the basics for the breakfast as:
-Coffee, milk, white bread
About the lunch and diner I provide food only for the work days, we plan what we eat before and I cook or you do, each in turn more or less. About food quantities, I am a normal eater, if you eat as much as 3 people you will have to pay for your food XD
Electricity:
Electricity is from solar panels, so we have to be carefull about the consumation mostly during winter when it is cloudy.
Water and wifi:
I collect rain water with tanks so you have to be carefull about the quantity that you use. It also do not rain a lot here that is why. For the shower, a water meter will show you the maximum that you can use. Wifi is not unlimited too but it is available everywhere in the land.
Video call by whatsapp before confirm is a good way to see if that could work for both sides.
