The Experience

Hello, we are a small family from the north of Spain. If you are looking to discover Galicia this is your place. Here we live off our harvest and a small restaurant in our house. There are four of us in the house, three women and a 10-year-old boy (three dogs also accompany us). Life here is quiet, our house is in a small village in the Rías Baixas and has very good connections with other points of interest in Galicia.

I loved my experience at the farm, Lara and her family are amazing and kind, made me feel at home. The shift is easy and respect the timeshift. The food is delicious and I could taste regional foods. Lara was even extremely kind to picked me up from the bus station in Pontevedra and showed me around Cambados. Finally, the house is a tiny village and Lara was available to help if you need to take it to some places. I hope to be back!

I recommend this experience to anyone. Here I spent quality time, the family treated us as if we were members and with us they were super caring and kind. They were very helpful with the Spanish language, because even if we did not know it, they wanted to understand us and make us understand. I'd come back a thousand times. Even though we were far from home they made us feel at home. Quiero agradecer de todo corazón a toda la familia por la oportunidad y espero verlos pronto, un gran abrazo

No podría ser mejor está experiencia! Lara, Noa, Dani y Patricia junto a sus 3 perris me hicieron sentir parte de la familia desde el momento en el que llegué. Siempre atentas a mis necesidades. Como el lugar está un poco alejado y el transporte público no llega, siempre están dispuestas a acercarte y luego recogerte para que puedas conocer y disfrutar de los alrededores. El lugar para dormir es excelente y la comida es de lo mejor. Verdaderamente agradecida por todo lo brindado. Gracias de corazón!

Mi experiencia con Lara y su familia fue genial. Patri, Lara, Noa y Dani me hicieron sentir como en casa. Gracias a ellos pude aprender español y visitar Galicia. En cuanto al trabajo, todo estuvo claro y la familia fue muy flexible al escuchar nuestros deseos y comentarios. Recomiendo 100% esta experiencia, fue mi primer voluntariado y me dio ganas de hacer mucho más

La primera experiencia de voluntariado fue sencillamente extraordinaria. Patricia y sus adorables hijos Lara, Noa y Dani fueron una auténtica sorpresa. Lara y Noa, además de fantásticas, son auténticas embajadoras de la cultura gallega, y nos hicieron descubrir lugares y tradiciones fascinantes que difícilmente hubiéramos encontrado solos. Su hospitalidad es un perfecto ejemplo de cómo la calidez humana puede enriquecer un viaje, transformando una simple visita en una extraordinaria aventura cultural. Regresaré a casa con el corazón lleno de gratitud y muchos recuerdos hermosos.
