This was my first solo trip and I felt so welcomed! Aurel is so kind and made me feel very safe and comfortable. The activities are very fun and I had an incredible experience. Hiking in the mountains, cycling, it was amazing so many beautiful views! I definitely recommend this experience. 😊

I had a great time, despite leaving a bit early (rain). Every morning we'd do some work around the eco village, depending on what needed improvement. I soldered a chimney, cut down dead trees, chopped firewood, and built a roof for a fireplace, all in the span of a couple days. With more time you can really improve carpentry and bushcraft skills. After work we got out the emtbs and saw the mountains around the place, was awesome! I'd note that the eco village is very remote and there isn't room for many. if you're looking to meet many people this might not be the best fit. Very glad I came, thanks!

At first, life in the 'campo' was very different from what I'm used to. However, Aurel made sure I had everything I needed. He was very friendly and funny and every day I felt more at home, in the end it was even strange to go back to the city :D We did activities every day, highlights were the e-mountain bike rides to Peñiscola and the river, beautiful landscapes! The food we ate was also really good, specially when we ate outside. I learned a lot of things, from changing a bike wheel to doing some carpentry. Definetely recommend!

I went into this experience hoping to learn about sustainability, and new hands on skills. I left very early and was made to feel el uncomfortable to leave a review. However I think it is important for future volunteers. I give space for the language barrier and cultural differences, but there were some comments and concerns that I felt were uncomfortable and inappropriate and I think some things in the description were misleading, and I was put in unsafe situations. I did learn some new skills, and also what to look for in my next experience, but be sure to ask questions before confirming.

Thanks for this review that will help me to avoid this kind of situation. Yes you have to read the description and be ready to have to do efforts with the host. I did too with you but after few days of grumpy faces every morning and beeing crazy about my way to be I stopped to talk to you of course. I try to explain as much as possible in my description but that comment is a help for me thanks. SO if you read this and are not ready to accept French/European way of life please do not apply!

Anna and I are grateful to Aureliano for his hospitality and dedication to his work. His connection with nature is incredibly harmonious—he adapts the space to fit his project while caring deeply for the surrounding environment 🌱 Working with him is both pleasant and flexible. We arrived during rather cold days, and he did everything possible to make our stay comfortable. He also helped us with the road, for which we are especially thankful 🙏🏻 I wish this project continued growth and success in sharing its experience of connecting with nature and oneself with others ⭐
