I couldn't have imagined a better time at the farm. Claudia and Luisa were super welcoming from the start. You can tell they care so much for the volunteers, the horses, and the entire project. The work is easy and there were opportunities to ride a few times a week. Both Claudia and Luisa would take volunteers on day trips, events in the village, the cold springs, and other excursions on off time. I'm so thankful for my experience there and would 100% love to come back!

There is no other experience magical than this one!!! Learning about the horses and culture with Luisa and Claudia was something beyond special. Learning about the horses has given me a deeper appreciation for these special animals. The work is worth it when you see how happy the students are and how unique it is to take visitors on trail rides up the mountains to see the beauty that Galicia has to offer. Meeting people from different countries I and bonding over many topics was the cherry on top! Thank you, Ella, for being an English gem that's makes this place extra special!

I had such a great time at the farm! As my first trip with Worldpackers and first solo trip in general I couldn't have asked for better hosts. Claudia and Luisa were so welcoming and helpful with anything I needed. We had many fun adventures, amazing food, and good times on the trails, at parties, or just hanging out at the house. I enjoyed meeting so many amazing people and of course the dogs and horses! Definitely hope to come back!!

They also made sure we always had a good stay🫶🏻 Such a good experience and I already miss all the people, dogs and horses💕 I really want to come back sometime🥰

Luisa and Claudia were such wonderful and welcoming hosts! I had an amazing three weeks in Galicia — the food was great, the horses were sweet, and the other volunteers, along with Ella, made the experience really special. They took us on fun day trips to Portugal, local markets, parties, natural hot and cold springs, and of course plenty of lovely rides. There was always something to look forward to. They also have two really lovely dogs that I'm definitely going to miss. It's been such a warm and memorable experience — I'm sure I'll be back again!

I had an amazing time at the farm in Galicia. We did a lot of trail rides in the beautiful nature of Galicia which I enjoyed a lot. They also took us to so many different locations ( the rivers, beach, local markets…) The Family was always very caring and made sure we feel comfortable all the time. All the people i met there were so nice and fun I was very sad to leave after the month of my volunteer stay and I alteady miss all the people! I would also recommend this experience to people with no volunteer experience like me:)

I had the absolute best first solo travel experience ever and I would recommend it to anyone who loves horses, wants to meet new people and explore rural life!! The ambiance was very familiar, the work was fun everyday and luisa & claudia always made sure we lacked nothing <3 We also did lots of trips to other villages and hikes/trail rides in the beautiful nature. I will miss all the girls and the life in the village :c It was soo nice with yall I hope to see you again sometime!

I had a short but sweet experience & I absolutely recommend! Everyone is so welcoming, it seems like there is always wonderful group of girls & the trail rides were amazing! I love horses & wanted to learn more about caring for them/improve my riding- this was the perfect place! The location is definitely rural/out of the way so expect a long travel days but it is worth it for the experience and beauty of surrounding nature! The living quarters has its quirks/flaws but the family dedicates everything to the horses-inspiring! Overall a very chill and slow life to experience, with kind people!

Great experience, especially for my first solo trip and as my first woofin experience. Claudia and Luisa are adorable, everything is done to make you feel at home. The work is very light and very pleasant, and the horses are adorable, you can feel that they are happy and the landscapes are sublime. I had the opportunity to go to Portugal with them and to spend days outside which were great too!! To really enjoy the adventure I recommend speaking good English but even with basic English you have a lot of fun!! Thank you for this adventure ;)
