Incredible experience all around and totally worth €25 a day. Adrián took great care of me, offering a cozy shared room with access to a shared kitchen and bathroom. The house is stocked with plenty of food, including fresh fruit and veggies straight from the garden. Waking up to the sound of birds and fresh air was truly refreshing. There's always something going on, professional farmers pass by, and I learned so much about local culture and farming. The farm is perfectly located, just minutes from town and the beach. It's overall an incredible place and I will definitely be going back!

Adrian offers a truly unique experience in a beautiful setting. He generously provides delicious, locally-sourced produce, as well as other staples. I have not eaten better anywhere else. The work is varied, which is something I loved. Every day was a new opportunity. Each morning, Adrian and I would discuss what work we wanted to do for the day, and he was receptive to my preferences. He did a great job of balancing what he wanted done and the projects I was personally passionate about. Adrian treated me the same as he treats his land, with immense love and respect.

This was a fantastic first WP experience! Adrian truly lives out his values of sustainability/self-sufficiency through the use of recycled building materials, conscientious energy and water consumption, and seasonal and local produce. It's a great place to do meaningful work, but also slow down and not focus on deadlines and productivity. The goal of the work is to improve life, not make money. Food is at the heart and brings a community vibe. There is so much delicious fresh fruit! We ate avocados and cherimoya every day, almonds and honey from the mountains, and fresh fish! I loved it!

This was my first experience with worldpackers. Helping Adrian with his project was wonderful. I learned a lot about sustainability, gardening, and building. He has a great variety of eco-friendly fruits and vegetables. The work hours were perfect, and we often finished a bit early to help in the kitchen. I had a bike available to explore the town and surroundings, and sometimes Adrian would take me along with him, where I met his friends and learn some Spanish. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to step away from the chaos, enjoy nature, and live simply! Thank you 🫶🏻

I spend more than 3 months with Adrian. This has been a mind shifting in my life. I learned a lot with Adrian about his life style, to live in community, how to maintain a land with animals, horticulture, fruits trees, also how to build new structures helping me to developing my skills with new tools. And this is a great opportunity to get into myself, all the schedule and the freedom I got here allows me to learn more about me and developed my art expression. From the kitchen to my guitar. Adrian is building a sustainable way of living to be an example to the rest.

Wow, what can I say? It is definitely my definition of a luxury holiday because I have never been so relaxed and happy as I was in this oasis. The nourishing meals, some of which you pick yourself in the garden beforehand, or simply enjoying the silence with the cats. It can get boring. But it doesn't have to be. We did sports together and often went to the beach. It is important to Adrian that you have a wonderful time. Your needs are always respected. If you want, you can learn a lot about life in the country and the maintenance of the plantations. I will come again!!

What an amazing experience for my first time as a volunteer! I spent five weeks with Adrian and couldn't recommend it more. Salobreña is a beautiful coastal town, and the property is a perfect place to unplug and reconnect with nature. Not to mention there are five adorable cats to keep you company! Adrian is a passionate and knowledgeable host with diverse projects that offer great hands on experience. I loved learning about ecology, picking up some Spanish, and getting my hands dirty. I'm grateful for the experience and can't wait to return. ¡Muchas gracias, Adrian!

It was a good first time volunteering experience really cosy and nice environment to stay at. Adrían is nice because he always tells us about why he choose to do things the way he does it's a good way to learn about sustainability. He cares about what he does. He puts a lot of his energy in this project and works as hard as you

The finca is a small paradise which breathes tranquility! The tasks are very divers and only in the morning. If you pay, it is really up to you what you do and you are treated as a guest. Adrian took us on a lot of mini excursions and we met a lot of his friends. However, he struggled to communicate feedback in a respectful manner, which resulted in some tension at times. It was the other volunteer who made my experience particularly valuable to me. Sustainability is not as much a focus point as I had hoped, it is more self-sustainability, which Adrian is very passionate about.

The tension was created by an accident that provoque by a negligence from other volunteer that was not taking care of his responsibilities from several days.
Nina took this incident as a main point in the review after 15 days of taking care of a person coming from office work in a big a city, with no experience . She never say nothing about this, she keep it for the review. I think is not fair.
