The Experience
Estamos reformando una antigua casa de piedra y sus anexos. La idea es crear un espacio para artistas donde impartir charlas, formaciones, realizar eventos y poner en valor el trabajo artesanal y los oficios tradicionales. La finca y diferentes edificaciones que hay en la propiedad necesitan reparaciones y mantenimiento. Si disfrutas del campo, la jardinería y eres manitas… formaremos un gran equipo para darle un buen empujón al proyecto :)

Had the opportunity to meet Lydia and stay in this wonderful country was a blessing. Lydia, the neighbors and the other residents of Castro are wonderful people who will make you feel welcomed. The ad sounded nice to me but I did not think the reality could be so good. Lydia is friendly, interesting, welcoming. She came to meet my needs (upon arrival for example, or giving me everything I needed to be comfortable) in addition to also giving me so many opportunities to do so many different things. I felt so much freedom in managing my time an and work, I just regret not having done more.

It was my first trip by worldpackers, but I couldn't have had a better first experience. Lydia was very nice and friendly, I think we quickly found common ground. The accommodation was fantastic and clean, a real traditional Spanish stone house. The locals were also nice. I can only recommend the place!

Durante mi estancia en la comunidad me he sentido muy productivo, incluso en tareas en las que no estaba del todo familiarizado, dado el modo con el que Lydia deja que tú mismo te organices a lo largo de la jornada. Adicionalmente, se esmera en que te integres y conectes con la gente del pueblo, lo que contribuye a crear un vínculo más especial con el lugar.

Este voluntariado fue mejor de lo que esperaba, desde el primer día me sentí bien recibida por lydia y por los habitantes del pueblo💚 disfrute mucho el ayudar a la restauración de la finca, lydia estara dispuesta a trabajar en equipo y explicarte lo que se debe hacer, la habitación y baños es lindo ,limpio y espacioso, la comida deliciosa! los habitantes del pueblo son un amor igual que el lugar es encantador y único, si buscas un voluntariado lejos de los movimientos de ciudad, despertar con tranquilidad,ayudar,compartir y disfrutar la vida tranquila este es el lugar correcto✨️💛
