Staying at the Center on Mount Benali was incredible. Nestled in the heart of Valencia's breathtaking countryside, this eco-community is the perfect place for travelers looking to connect with nature. Time moves differently there. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed by our passionate host Steve and the small but vibrant community of like-minded travelers. The work was rewarding, whether helping maintain the land or simply keeping the fire alive. the Center is the perfect setting to free your mind and escape the city

Steve provided me with an unforgettable WorldPackers experience. Even before I arrived, he gave me clear instructions on how to reach the property without issues and offered to help in any way he could. He managed to create an atmosphere that made me feel at home the moment I walked through those doors. This experience teaches you about sustainable living, farming, interacting with animals, cooking, and more while creating a convivial and fulfilling atmosphere like nothing I have experienced before. Highly recommend!

Such a supportive environment, as long as you follow the basic responsibilities of living in a house you can mostly do what you want and you will meet amazing and like-minded people!

Time in the Center was just like holidays in paradise. I can't recommend this place more for those, who seek connection with very different people. There was enough space to enjoy interactions with people, nature and to connect with yourself. I loved the community spirit. It was very inspiring

Steve's a great human being. He finds joy in watching people at the house achieve their goals and use their talents and creativity. He loves when people create things, work as a team and most importantly what he told us everyday is how can we make a positive impact in another persons life and that will always stick with me. The house is beautiful and the views are very scenic and the atmosphere is peaceful. They have 3 cats and 4 loving dogs and the food is top notch. Beds are very comfortable and the shower pressure great. There's countless activities to keep you occupied. I love Raul too!

I stayed at the Center for 2 weeks and had so much fun! The place is truly incredible, with a beautiful landscape, amazing nature and wonderful mountain views. Steve & the other volunteers were so fun, kind & I loved spending so much time with people from all over the world. We spent our days with hiking to a stunning cave nearby, cuddling with the dogs & cats, gardening, cooking delicious meals, reading, going to town for coffee, going to the farmers market, doing yoga sessions, sitting together at the fire place - we had so much fun. I miss you all a lot! <3 I will come back!

This place was truly amazing! I felt very safe here. So many nice people. I loved spending time here, even on the rainy days. I got more consious about usage of water, electricity and food and that we shouldn't take that for granted. Steve is an amazing host with loads of experience, stories and good music:) Saph is also amazing, so kind and loving. When you come here, expect to be surrounded by beautiful people, nature and good vibes.

I was welcomed with open arms and left with a mind full of inspiration, new friends and good memories. It's incredible to see how this place thrives on the people and stories that are being told. Steve is a great guy, he cares about everyone that enters his front door. I think for every person this is a valuable experience, whether you want to learn about off grid living, work on your own projects or just want to enjoy nature. Thank you so much, I'll come back. You guys are art.

Already miss this place and the people here. Steve and Saph are super cool, and I came to realize that they genuinely care about the volunteers. The minimalist lifestyle surrounded by wild nature made me feel truly alive. It also helped me realize how modern, fast-paced and artificial lifestyles deprive us of our real needs, and the importance of taking care of both the environment and ourselves. Taking an outdoor shower while enjoying the sunrise, sharing lunch with breathtaking views, and feeling the real warmth in front of the fireplace at night are my favorites. Hope to come back soon ☺️🫶

My experience at the Center was great! This was my first Worldpackers trip and I immediately felt that I was in good hands. The house is beautiful, surrounded by nature and the view is incredible. Steve, the host, is super accommodating, open and always has a funny story to tell. The work there is minimal which leaves enough time to go on hikes, play with the dogs or spend time with the other volunteers. I had a really great time during my 2 weeks here and recommend this project to anyone!
