Enrique and Ester are wonderful hosts, who want you to feel at home and as part of their family. I felt very welcome from the moment I arrived. There were 3-4 other volunteers present during the time I was there and I enjoyed the exchange with people from different backgrounds, countries and ages. Experience with the farm and with life on a farm is definitely a plus as you will have to work independently at times. Unfortunately I had to leave early because of health reasons (celiac's disease). I would have loved to stay longer.

So I will review both of my experiences: My 1st experience was a special one.. very dear to my heart 🥹 I made a beautiful connection with the two other volunteers 💛 The three of us visited Sevilla Feria in April together which was wonderful, a must see! 💃 Also, the flowers in Spring on the farm!!! 🌸🌼 So beautiful! 2nd time- For the month of December I was solo. A little tough sometimes but it made me strong 😅 and it gave me time to really connect with the farm. I also spent Christmas on the farm. It was heart warming, decorating the tree with little Quique 🥹 Thank you for all 💛

My stay on Enrique's farm was a very good experience. A part from the every day feed my tasks were pretty different every day witch was nice. I enjoyed training the young the farm a lot !The work can be physically hard and feel a bit stressful but spending so much time with the farm was lovely. Esther and Marilou really know how to welcome volunteers and make them feel comfortable !

To all those reading this !! Ella is a treasure,,, Only my busy mind has prevented me from writing a review. I feel so bad about it. I had given her 5 stars. She is highly recommended. Ella, I am so sorry... we talk soon.

I worked in the guesthouse with Esther. This involved serving meals to guests and maintaining a clean common area daily. I helped with preparing the guest bedrooms weekly. Esther provided a lot of guidance and support and it was a very calm and friendly environment to work in. The guests were english speakers and were fun to get in to know. For accommodation Enrique and Esther kindly open their home to volunteers. I stayed in a shared room with one other person. We had access to their kitchen and had our own bathroom. There was a lot of free time to spend outside and with the animals.

It was my first Worldpackers experience and I can definitely recommend staying with Enrique and his family. They have a beautiful farm and I immediately was welcomed into their family. They are very generous people and are always making sure that you feel at home. I was able to improve my Spanish and got to know the Spanish the farm better. You have a lot of free time to relax and do what ever you like but I think it is important to mention that next town is a 20min ride away. All in all, I would 100% recommend this position and I am very grateful that I got the chance to experience it.
