The experience

HELLO!! I’m Dulce, and this is my big project! Are you up for helping me?
I have two rural houses next to each other and both need maintenance and improvements, among other tasks: cleaning and painting the pool for the summer. And one of the houses needs to be cleaned thoroughly to get it up and running. I can accommodate one, two, or three volunteers in an open-plan apartment, which is ideal if you come in a pack.

Program Details

The idea is to do maintenance on the house and clean it thoroughly. Mainly painting doors, cabinets, resurfacing them, and painting the rooms and cleaning and painting the pool for the summer. And depending on each person's skills, carry out improvements in internal or external areas of the house and the plot.

On the other hand, help in the kitchen in both its preparation as well as cleaning and tidying up.

There are 6,500 square meters of land that are quite neglected to clear, plant, prune, and collect firewood... although at the moment we have a couple of mules.

During your stay it may be that we are hosting a yoga retreat in which we would like volunteers to help with some cleaning tasks and kitchen help.

Most likely there will be one or two volunteers at most, so you might spend a lot of time alone since I work and cannot always be with the volunteers.

Meals are provided; part of it may be cooked by me but most of it we will buy for you to organize and cook for yourselves.
