The Experience

Ours is a multidisciplinary Project as a typical farm in Asturias where we practice agroecology, gardening, nature courses, the responsible use of natural resources, spirituality, ethnobotanics and traditions by creating a kind of retirement in the middle of the mountains. We are Germán from Andalucia and Mario from Austria, fallen in love with the nature of Asturias. We started 10 years ago and now we have a huge rose garden and many more thin

Amazing <3 Mario and German are genuinely some of the best humans I have ever met. I am so grateful I was able to spend time on their farm. I cannot express how much the work, conversations, lessons (and food) meant to me.

One of the happiest and most meaningful experiences of my life, even in just 14 days. The farm is peaceful, natural, and full of lovely animals. Germán is a kind, generous, and creative host who cooks amazing homemade food every day. I learned farming skills, improved my Spanish,It's my first farm stay and first volunteering experience, and it gave me such beautiful memories!He also shared special local experiences with us, like an unforgettable cave concert and so on. For a peaceful countryside stay, cultural exchange, great food, and a warm host, I highly recommend it.

This is a great experience to learn about the reality of a working rose garden and farm, and you very much feel like an integral part of it! Germán and Mario are very warm, welcoming, and generous, always serving up a delicious plate of food at the end of your shift and giving advice on where to go in the local area. We even got to celebrate Noche de San Juan with Germán and his friends! I would recommend a car as the village is quite remote. The accomodation is quite basic and the work is tough, but I overall found it as a challenging, rewarding and educational experience!

Sin duda es uno de los voluntariados donde más he aprendido de la cultura local y más he compartido con los anfitriones y la comunidad. Germán y Mario son muy generosos con sus saberes, se preocupan de enseñarte y también se interesan de aprender y escuchar a cada uno de los voluntarios. Todas las tareas son muy claras y bien explicadas, los horarios muy respetados, las comidas deliciosas y en el tiempo libre se puede disfrutar de los preciosos alrededores. Infinitamente agradecida de permitirme aportar a the farm y por todo lo compartido!

Mi experiencia en Camales fue maravillosa. Germán y Mario son atentos y amorosos; trabajan en conjunto con los voluntarios, lo que permite aprender mucho de ellos, tanto de plantas y cultivos como de su filosofía de vida. Los horarios de trabajo están muy bien organizados y las tareas son claras y entretenidas. Además, ambos cocinan riquísimo y la hora de la comida me parecía un regalo. Espero volver pronto para ver cómo evoluciona su proyecto tan hermoso y sobre todo para compartir con ellos que son excelentes personas y me hicieron sentir como en casa💛
