The hosts were super ok, but for a week I needed to clean their shit away which wasn't in my interest. So I told them that I want to work in the garden and then I could work in the garden for the last two days. We needed to cook and clean the dishes for them, which was too much expetations in my eyes. It is a beautiful place and you can surely have a OK time.

Communicate with Aline is not always easy, sometimes she is very hard in her way of speaking. For example, in this case he wrote "I needed to clean their shit away" and this can be misinterpreted. Her task was to clean and tidy up the magazine of tools and materials, and in addition she had offered herself for this task. I prefer to gloss over the commentary of cooking and washing dishes. Aline is a nice and intelligent person, if you have patience you can have a Ok experience

I could mention several things that I found unacceptable, but I will highlight only two. It turns out I injured my back while tending their olive trees and fruit trees. I had to go to a physiotherapist. I told them about my situation, and they didn't pay attention to what was happening to me. This situation created a fairly unpleasant atmosphere of tension that needed to be clarified, because I say they are not malicious. The second thing is that, given the tense situation, there was no moment for us to talk about how we were each and to be able to resolve this misunderstanding.
I'm sad that this experience ended this way.

Hi Javi, it hurts us to read this. We talked about your injury for a while when you came back from a weekend away and you told us you were in pain. We told you to take the rest days you needed; we always say that taking care of yourself comes first. If you remember, you were chopping wood without taking care of yourself, without anyone asking you to. Since this happened, you have stayed for a month; we are surprised that you have stayed so long not feeling comfortable, just as we are surprised by this comment.

Pasé 10 dias a la granja, y me hubiera encantado que fuera 3 meses! El espacio era super lindo, la huerta me impresionó mucho y me hizo muy bien trabajar con la tierra. Los otros voluntarios habian hecho una linda comunidad y me senti integrada directamente! Gracias por la experiencia! A veces no hay que ir tan lejos para viajar! 💛

Caroline is a total sweetheart. Yes, we would have loved to spend more time with her; that said, it has been wonderful. When she wrote to us, everything was full and we talked about the possibility of her coming with her tent, and she did. She camped on the property, using the guest house for the bathroom and the kitchen, and she was very comfortable. She has helped with many different things and has brought joy to the volunteer team and to us!

César is great, he is a wonderful person, very positive and energetic. His presence is fun and he gives one hundred percent to whatever he does. He has helped us by building a materials shed and he knows how to handle work tools very well. He has met local people and has also enjoyed the city of Granada, which is very close here; he has been able to practice other languages and share Spanish with people from other nationalities. He is a person with commitment and leadership!

Mi experiencia en este voluntariado fue realmente enriquecedora. Durante mi estancia, me encargué del cuidado de los animales (perros y gallinas), asegurándome de que estuvieran bien alimentados, felices y atendidos. También trabajé en la huerta, ayudando en el mantenimiento de los cultivos, lo que me permitió aprender más sobre el cultivo sostenible y el contacto con la tierra. Fue una experiencia gratificante, que me permitió conectar con la naturaleza y los animales, además de aprender nuevas habilidades y disfrutar de las montañas y un ambiente de trabajo en equipo. Sin duda, Recomendado!!

Alfonso is part of the family. He has been here for many months and it has been a truly wonderful living arrangement, helping us with many different things, adapting easily, sharing his gifts and learning new things. I see in him a great leader and a person who knows how to immerse himself in the local culture and enrich the places he inhabits with his presence. Having him nearby is really a great gift!

Para disfrutar de crear juntos un mundo maravilloso, divertido, consciente y conectado a la naturaleza. Amistad, arte, respeto, trabajo que llena el alma, acá hay sueños colectivos y ganas de compartir y crecer en comunidad. Gracias! ♾💚

Marina is such a precious person that we truly have no words to describe the beautiful experience we have shared: we have seen her grow, take root, and spread her wings from authenticity and joy. It is a real pleasure to welcome her and our doors will always be open!!! We know that the friendship that has been created is enormous and that we are connected. She has many resilience skills to undertake work of all kinds, she is very versatile, sincere and optimistic. She is really mindful that things flow and she is a very independent woman, while being loving at the same time.
It's a pleasure to trust and open the project's doors for us to live together and co-create!!!!

Irene y Matteo son maestros de vida que abrieron las puertas de la granja y su corazón para recibirme en mi primer voluntariado que superó mis expectativas. El crecimiento y aprendizaje técnico, personal y profesional es inmenso y me voy agradecida por la confianza, las oportunidades y la flexibilidad, por compartir sus contactos y hacer que el intercambio fuera cómodo y agradable, hay una comunicación respetuosa y apertura de ideas constante. Además el lugar es mágico y sanador, un espacio de desconexión y a la vez de conexión interna y con la naturaleza, es un hogar, una familia. 🤍

Zulay has lived for three months on the farm with us, and it has been as magical as she describes, largely due to her openness, her immense interest, her problem-solving ability, her dedication, and her generosity.
Zulay is a fully committed, devoted, and respectful person, a remarkable woman with a huge heart and a strong desire to help, to learn, and to foster this precious network that is worldpackers.
I wholeheartedly recommend Zulay, and the doors of our home will always be open to her, who is already truly part of our family; in fact we have continued to develop projects remotely because we love how we work as a team and we want to continue co-creating together.

La granja fue mi primer experiencia como voluntaria. Honestamente esperaba un lugar hermoso, con gente con buena vibra, y me lleve una sorpresa. Fue superador. Fuimos una familia, la vibra del lugar es increíble, el río es el patio de la casa. Los trabajos muy amenos, divertidos, flexibles con los horarios. El hospedaje es precioso, la comida de huerta muy rica. Y palabra mayor a los anfitriones: Irene y Mateo, seres humanos que inspiran y su fortaleza es admirable. Gracias por recibirnos y hacernos parte de su vida 🧡

Camila is a wonderful woman and we consider her part of our beautiful soul family. Both she and her cousin Rocío Almentra filled our hearts with joy as soon as they arrived at the farm. She is an admirable person, strong, eager to learn, and with incredible skills in socializing, adaptation, and enthusiasm. She has helped us with joy, as if she had been living with us for years, both in permaculture topics and in the events that have taken place in the short time she has accompanied us.
I know our friendship will continue to grow, and they have left such a beautiful vibe on the farm that we welcome the people who are arriving now with much love and trust.

El tiempo que compartí junto con Irene, Mateo,también con sus mascotas, Dino, India y Carmen, además de con mi equipazo de voluntari@s, fue maravilloso y súper enriquecedor. la granja es un espacio donde la naturaleza te acoge, sin dudas se vivencia la permacultura. Las tareas son consensuadas y flexibles acorde a los eventos que se desarrollan en el domo. Fue un placer dar una mano y ser parte de esta gran familia de artistas, su talento inspira y contagia. El alimento de la tierra y las manos que lo preparan con tanto amor,el agua de manantial del rio, y la casita llena de calidez. Gracias ❤️

Rocio Almendra is a spectacular woman. Both she and her cousin Cami are people who are in our little hearts. So much so that we have offered them to join the project, not as volunteers but as creators. The affinity has been truly so great that we see a lot of possibilities for creating projects together and coexisting in harmony, helping this little piece of the Earth shine even brighter, seeing here many people enjoy themselves and becoming a source of inspiration for more projects in permaculture, health, art and social resilience, even more... Whatever happens, these two women are really a ray of light, with positive energy, skills in inspired action and a strong desire to leave a beautiful footprint on the planet. All my admiration.
