Bar Caléndula

We are in the Camino de Santiago, a very central place in Spain, close to the main cities of the north of the country, located nevertheless in a quiet small town, perfect to meditate or write. It is a place that many pilgrims of different nationalities go through. My bar is very small and is not yet known, we are starting and therefore very excited. We have a small bar.

We need someone to help us for 5 hours a day, the tasks are easy: to receive the pilgrims, chat with them and also clean, pick up and cook a little, not too much. Above all, being with guests or sitting while watching everyone is comfortable, while reading or writing on your desk: the people who pass are very nice and spiritual, they are looking for a smile and a kind treatment on the part of the person who attends them. Honestly it's a rewarding activity, but I need some help, because it's many hours that I have to be in the place.

Mi experiencia en el Bar Caléndula fue enriquecedora. La amabilidad y calidez de la anfitriona desde tu llegada hasta tu partida, horarios de trabajo adecuados y flexibles, disponibilidad para poder cocinar tus comidas, cercanía con el autobús para recorrer otros pueblos o ciudades, y sin lugar a dudas, la oportunidad de hablar con personas durante el día y aprender de los peregrinos algo nuevo a diario. Eso si, importante tener en cuenta la época del año en que vienes al lugar, pues el flujo de visitantes no es recurrente todo el tiempo y de ello dependerán tus tareas. Gracias por todo Silvia

Lamentablemente no pude asistir porque justo el día en que tenía que viajar para allá me dieron respuesta de un trabajo que estaba esperando, sin embargo Silvia fue muy atenta y comprensiva conmigo, lo cual le agradeceremos mucho, espero de corazón que todo vaya muy bien para ella y los voluntarios que pasen por allí

Well, first of all, I'm 18 and this was my first ever travel. I was scared, however Silvia was very kind and explained everything even before I arrived. On videochat I already knew that I was in safe hands. Work was fun and interactive, however a bit challenging at times but definitely helped me be a better version of myself. Silvia offered loads of activities, and I never felt bored at all. She helped me in anyway she could and was always there if I needed her. I definitely recommend this place to others!!

Volunteering at Bar Caléndula was my first Worldpackers experience, and it couldn’t have been better. Thanks to Silvia’s kindness, I joined this lovely space and learned so much — not just about running a bar, but about working with heart. Silvia is a wise, grounded, and generous host. I also shared great moments with my fellow volunteers: Gianni, Tom, and Gaby — each unique and wonderful. I met locals, pilgrims, and new friends. This experience opened my eyes and heart. I’m truly grateful and hope to return someday.
