My one month volunteering experience at the finca was overall very good, with comfortable bedrooms and a good location (15 min walk to the Madrid bus, taking 1h20). David is a good host. As my first time cleaning and the only volunteer instead of 2-3, the workload felt heavy, pointing to a need for better schedule communication. I'm grateful for Hernan's flexibility and guidance, the bond with Olga (made all the difference there), the great exchange with the students from Davi's course, and the items provided for breakfast and lunch.

My first experience as a volunteer was in a very beautiful place, with stunning surroundings that made the stay special. The tasks were exactly as described, which made it easier to adapt and plan. It was a valuable opportunity to learn and contribute while experiencing a new culture. I'm grateful for the chance to be part of the team.

The experience was good. The place is beautiful and you connect with the surrounding nature, as you can go hiking. Unfortunately, I didn't have time, as I only stayed for two weeks and felt quite tired due to the excessive heat on the days I was there. A worthwhile experience!

My experience at the lodge was wonderful! I feel completely comfortable, David is an incredible person and very welcoming, kind, very intelligent, always with good conversations and teachings, a friendly person with good energy, always kind. he took me to a local food fair. The house is clean, the space is very pleasant, he prepares good healthy meals. simple activities, flexible and respectful hours. I was able to eat pears, grapes and organic chicken eggs. Truly an incredible experience and I take away great lessons and knowledge. I recommend it 100% ❤️❤️

I really enjoyed my first Worldpackers experience at the lodge, located in a quiet village perfect for chilling a little after work. David was so welcoming and super flexible with your working hours which was fantastic for me. Thank you so much David & good luck with the rest of the project!

This is my first volunteer project. I came there almost barehanded and left with the skills of builder, electrician and decorator. I am very grateful for all the knowledges i was able to get. For all the creative ideas that arose inside me and i was able to make them come true. David is a great person. His intentions, his project are so huge and significant that working here you feel like doing a very important job! And it actually is important. I was happy to wake up and start my work every day despite the cold weather sometimes. Looking forward to come back :)

I had a lovely time in “the lodge” the task are quite easy, focusing in housekeeping, the place is really calm and perfect to be in touch with yourself. The neighbourhood is quite nice and you can go hiking in the mountains. I would recommend this place if you wanna have some space for yourself

So, I spent just a few days and I was welcomed and treated well by David, which is a really nice guy, but the job is literally a job and isn't like a volunteer. I needed to leave for personal reasons but I think if you're looking to volunteer in the real meaning of the word you may keep going and search a different one

Working at La Cabrera has been a wonderful experience. I have felt very well being here. You have all you need to be warm and welcome. The tasks are nice, you always do something different. The place is full of nature and beautiful views. I would definitely come back again! I felt home!

Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
