The Experience

The property is located in a remote area (3 km of dirt road) near the Sierra Mariola (Alicante) and has more than 80 rain-fed fruit trees (mostly almond trees).

The calendar dates are always approximate. Please check beforehand!

I have no words to express how grateful I am to Roque, a wonderful human being, more than just volunteering. It felt like a home to me. I take away more than beautiful memories; I felt very welcomed and grateful for the opportunity to share, learn and contribute during my time there. It was an experience I will remember with great affection and that I would wholeheartedly recommend from the heart to anyone who wants to have an enriching experience. A hug to Roque. One more friend ❤️

La casa de Roque se ha convertido en mi hogar. Una mezcla perfecta de aprendizaje y diversión. La vida en el campo es preciosa y tranquila. El trabajo surge espontáneamente, no es duro y se hace ameno gracias a la compañía. Roque y sus amigos son gente preciosa e increíblemente acogedora; como artistas y artesanos son una real inspiración para cualquiera. Debido al clima mi voluntariado ocurrió tanto en montaña como ciudad y pude experimentar la vida oculta que ofrecen ambas. Recomendaría esta experiencia a voluntarios que aprecien el arte, la acción social, el campo, etc. Alacant és bellísim.
