I really enjoyed my time at the eco village! Rachel is a great host who makes sure volunteers have evrything they need. Work hours are very chill and flexible. You have a lot of freedom to arrange your day as you please. The facilities at the eco village are also great (showers, kitchen, pool). I had a great time and would recommend! Thank you Rachel 🌱❣️

My experience in the eco village was really amazing. Rachel is a wonderful host in every way. We had a great time together and even better conversations. I had an awesome time with her and with the other volunteers. This place is an eco-paradise. Quiet and peaceful but nearby a little town and not far from the beach. There is plenty work to do, and the tasks are satisfying. Rachel is flexible and let you choose what you want to do. I really want to come back someday. Rachel thank you for everything, every lesson that I have learned, every conversation and all the 'crap'-tours we have done😂. ❤️

At the end of my stay the campsite felt like home! Work was manageable, with flexible hours and a variety of tasks offered by Rachel. Living at the campsite with its outdoor kitchen, pedal-powered washing machine and the use of the eco-friendly shampoo and soap was an experience indeed for sb used to city life. Rachel is a British lady who knows exactly what she wants from life/her volunteers and is concerned about global warming. She likes planning her day and sticking to the plan so you will have to respect her time.I recommend this experience to those tired of the lack of sun and fresh air!

I stayed in the month of March doing tasks that contributed to the overall eco project. Rachel was very fair about your hours as you could complete them at your own pace. Rachel would include you with movie nights, going to town, or to Garrucha. I have to mention there were times where her responses to certain things were not delt in a professional matter towards myself or the other volunteers. You have a bus stop 10 min away, wifi, nearby grocery store, and the best showers. Thank you Rachel for making me more aware of my surroundings and for showing me around a beautiful part of Spain!

Lovely place with beautiful views all round and sunrise/sunsets. Very close to bus station and Lidl. The work is not hard and Rachel is very flexible about when you work. I was able to visit other towns on my days off which was great! Because it is winter time, I was the only volunteer there for some part, so if you are looking to meet lots of people maybe come at a different time of year. Otherwise I enjoyed my stay!
