The Experience

My partner, our baby, and I live in a house very close to Bilbao city center, with a bus stop just a few meters away, which makes getting there easy and quick. Right now we are in the middle of renovating the house and the outdoor areas, with the dream of turning it into a self-sustaining space. Also, we have many fruit trees!

I had a wonderful experience staying at Bilbao, Marta and Jorge were super welcoming and attentive my whole stay, y had to split my stay and they were super flexible. The other volunteers showed me around and we had a great time, my big brothers from Basque Country

Very good experience! The first time I did fieldwork, I had a great adventure. Jorge and Marta (and Carmen) are very good people, always available to help with whatever comes up. They treated me very well. I recommend this volunteer program!

This experience has been incredible!, meeting Marta, Carmencita and Jorge and their family project, in a place connected with the forest and the ecosystem, makes you truly disconnect from the city and the noise, to connect with the essential. I 100% recommend volunteering at this place and integrating into a dynamic of important physical work, sharing with other cultures, learning ways of life, being able to give ideas, feel part of a family during the stay. Very grateful for this place :)

Sin duda tuvimos una gran experiencia con Marta y Jorge! La finca es un gran lugar para relajarse, conectar con la naturaleza y la cercanía con Bilbao facilita conocer la ciudad y alrededores de manera ágil. Además, el proyecto en sí te permite aprender mucho sobre sostenibilidad, construcción y los cuidados que requieren un lugar así. Los horarios siempre fueron respetados y las actividades fueron acorde a lo platicado. Por último y más importante, el tiempo de convivencia fue muy agradable y ambos siempre estuvieron preocupados por nuestro bienestar y comodidad. Esperamos poder volver! :)
