I had a pleasant stay at Manuela's farm in the Tabernas. It's a quiet and relaxing place and I had a lot of time by myself just enjoying the peaceful environment which I loved. The best part of my stay was spending time with the animals. They were well cared for and had such lovely personalities. Manuela is a very kind person and I always felt comfortable :) I'd definitely recommend this place to other travelers!

The experience at Manuelas Finca was very peaceful a great place to relax in the desert and spend time in nature looking after Horses chickens, dogs and cats it is, a place where you need to have responsibility as you will be solo alot of the time so the finca can rest in your hands so you must handle responsibilities and do what needs to be done to keep everything stable. Manuela was a great host and looked after me well made sure I was always fed and comfortable. The Animals are very tame and friendly. Overall a beautiful place to connect with nature and unwind

My time in Tabernas was a beautiful experience. Manuela is a caring and attentive host who makes sure volunteers feel comfortable and valued. The work at the ranch is varied and fair, so it never feels repetitive, and the animals are clearly loved and very well cared for. The atmosphere is peaceful, and welcoming, perfect for slowing down and disconnecting from busy city life. Days off are respected and communication is always open and honest. A wonderful and enriching first volunteering experienceπŸ‘

I had a wonderful stay with Manuel in Spain. The setting is truly peaceful and quiet, surrounded by nature and her beautiful horses, which made the experience extra special. She is incredibly accommodating and genuinely hospitable, always making sure I felt comfortable and at home. It's the perfect place to relax and recharge, and I can't recommend it enough to fellow travelers looking for a calm and welcoming stay. Highly recommended!
