Program Details

Oteruelos is an ideal place for someone who is looking to escape the city and reconnect with nature and try his/her gardening skills ( I am a keen novice gardener myself) There are some magical spots around the village. The river is near the village and there is also a golf club within 10 minute walk.

Activities & Shift

You can do the main tasks: gardening, dog walking, general cleaning and upkeep of indoors and outdoor spaces for two or three hours in the morning. Volunteers should be able to help to prepare their own meals or share the cooking (all food and local produce provided)and clean the kitchen afterwards.

Rules

The volunteers must show some kind of identification when they arrive at the house (passport, ID, home address...)
When sharing common areas with other people, as the kitchen, I encourage you to avoid using mobiles and make yourself present in the room. This is part of the volunteering experience :)
