The Experience

Durante los meses de invierno las actividades de rehabilitación se complican por la lluvia y el frío, pero la finca y la casa necesitan unos mínimos de mantenimiento. Si te gusta el campo, no te asusta el frío y trabajas en remoto, puedes aprovechar esta oportunidad y vivir la experiencia del rural gallego. La casa no tiene (aún) chimenea, pero la cocina, dormitorios y baños, cuentan con pequeñas estufas eléctricas para pasar el invierno.

Had the opportunity to meet Lydia and stay in this wonderful country was a blessing. Lydia, the neighbors and the other residents of Castro are wonderful people who will make you feel welcomed. The ad sounded nice to me but I did not think the reality could be so good. Lydia is friendly, interesting, welcoming. She came to meet my needs (upon arrival for example, or giving me everything I needed to be comfortable) in addition to also giving me so many opportunities to do so many different things. I felt so much freedom in managing my time an and work, I just regret not having done more.

It was my first trip by worldpackers, but I couldn't have had a better first experience. Lydia was very nice and friendly, I think we quickly found common ground. The accommodation was fantastic and clean, a real traditional Spanish stone house. The locals were also nice. I can only recommend the place!

Genial experiencia para desconectar de la ciudad y conocer el rural gallego desde dentro. Lydia es un encanto llena de ideas y proyectos que necesitan manos y energía para llevarse a cabo. Se respetaron siempre los horarios y el trabajo depende de la meteorología pero siempre es llevadero. Si lo que quieres es experimentar la vida en un pequeño pueblo y tienes ganas de trabajar, este es tu voluntariado. Maow! 🐱😼😽

Esta experiencia nos permitió adentrarnos realmente en el rural gallego y aprender todo lo que implica la restauración de una la comunidad casa. Disfrutamos mucho los paisajes, la comida, la convivencia con vecinos y aprender más de los pueblos de Galicia. Muy buena la comunicación y dinámica con Lydia, siempre se mostró abierta a nuestras propuestas y a convivir. Hay una gran variedad de tareas a realizar, lo cual hace interesante el proyecto. A nosotros nos tocó más recuperar el jardín, entre otras cosas. Nos gustó ser parte de la historia de la casa :)
