The Experience

We are a family with a baby, living in the middle of the forest, we bought a huge land to start a community project. There is a river bordering the land and a waterfall near. We have a lot of fruit trees and several constructions. We enjoy practicing yoga, meditation, and taking walks in nature (but we don't practice it everyday). Our house is situated 4.6km from Puertomingalvo by contry road.

The experience in the community Viejo was very beautiful and relaxing, it's true that at the moment there was a lot of work to do, because the project was in the first months of life, so you must be prepared for that, but the reward was more than worth it, the place is magical and perfect if you are looking for a simple life in a natural environment (you will live completely surrounded by gorgeous nature), and Borja and Julia were since the very beginning welcoming and warm hosts.

I had a great time with Borja and Julia. The accomodations were very nice, and we worked the agreed upon hours and the tasks were fun. I learned how to do some things like plaster, but also did things I was familiar with like working on the car. We had fun adventures, such as to the river or to their new land, with some engine difficulties in between but no problem in the end! Thanks Borja and Julia! I hope to come back to your new house next year or the following.

It was my first experience as a volunteer and I absolutely do not regret my choice of going to Borja and Julia's. I was really well received and they made me feel comfortable right from the start. The two are easy to get along with and their daughter Aneka is very cute. It's a very warm place. The room is very comfortable, and the tasks are quite easy since it's mainly taking care of the house . But if there is any problem, they are here to listen and in the more difficult tasks, Borja will always be there to motivate and encourage you! The place is very calm, it's surrounded by nature .

First and foremost the family are amazing, extremely welcoming and easy to get along with. Whether it's singing along with Julia, talking about sustainability with Borja and playing with Aneka you will have a great time. I loved being outdoors and doing different things with the family whether on the land or in town. The accomodation was nice and the tasks more than manageable. Experience I will not forget.
