Had a lot of fun. It's a great place to reconnect with nature and would recommend it to anyone. David and Angeles are amazing and look after so much. They keep you well fed and give good recommendations for activities in the local area. Thank you so much

I stayed in pinos genil for a month and I am so happy and grateful! The place is perfect for connecting with nature. You can make your own fire at night for warmth in winter, doing chores in the garden and renovating the house. So many things to learn and explore nearby. I went hiking and climbing a few times 🤩 You get money to buy groceries and to cook your own food. David and Angeles are so friendly and welcoming. They made me feel at home and I am leaving with friends made for lifetime. This was my second time volunteering and it will be one of the best ones, I am sure ☺️

It was the first time for me to go worldpacking so I didn't quite know what to expect. However David is a great Host. The work was really versitaile and I enjoyed staying there. It is located relatively close to Granda which makes exploring the city easy. All in all it was a great experience and I can recommend it.

I had a great time volunteering with David at this experience I got to meet some locals, hang out with and adventure with Ángeles (great cook) and help out with some of the renovations in the project! The location is great, with access to a bike this makes a fun way of getting around, bus nearby aswell, or a scenic walk to Granada if you feel obliged The electricity runs on solar so there are particular times to use certain equipment, keep this in mind as not always can you have power. But it is all apart of the experience and I am grateful for the time I got to spend here :)

We had a fantastic time at David's Casa! The flexible work hours and variety of tasks, from building a fence to helping Ángel mix cement, made the experience both enjoyable and rewarding. David was respectful of our time and made sure we felt welcome. The casa is in a charming village near Granada, so we loved exploring the city in our free time. Highly recommend this for anyone interested in DIY and house restoration! Thank you David!
