I had a truly amazing experience at the Kadampa Meditation Centre. All the facilities are amazing and extremely clean and the jobs themselves are very manageable. I so enjoyed learning from all the great people I met and would definitely recommend this experience if you are wanting to work on your Spanish in particular. From day one to the end of the week the community really made me feel part of the family.

My time here was absolutely amazing and words could not describe how great the people here are. Everyone is so welcoming and friendly; even with the language barrier we had insightful conversations and were teaching each other throughout my stay. The food here was also fabulous and my parents joked saying I was always eating here because of the pictures of the food I'd send them. The facilities are also great; the temple is spectacular and I even got to participate in an English dubbed class where I learnt more about Buddhism and meditation. The work here is simple and hours are respected.

It was amazing! People are very nice and kind, you have a good food and they are very fair about working hours. The experience will be always in my heart! The place is beautiful and surrounded by nature and you can visit some cities around.

I had a great time at Kadampa ! You will learn about buddhism if you want, do gardening and cleaning in a beautiful environment with a team of other volunteers from around the world. The center is incredibly well kept, surrounded by beautiful mountains and olive trees, and even has a pool. Everyone is really nice, there is delicious vegetarian food all you want, this is definitely a cool quiet place to come discover ! And of course you don't have to be a buddhist or participate in the religious aspects if you don't want to, a lot of us didn't.

A great place to disconnect from the world for a while. I met great people and enjoyed the beautiful landscape and tasty food. There were also many opportunities to practice Spanish. Overall, it was a very interesting experience.

I had an incredible time at Malaga the community. Speaking English was a small challenge at times, most people there did not speak much English. However, everyone was incredible kind, patient, and always made sure I felt comfortable and happy. Another challenge was not know the planned schedule until the night before or the day of. Despite that, the hours are respected. In the free time I enjoyed the many meditation sessions. The food was delicious and the accommodations were very comfortable. I highly recommend this experience especially if you want to learn about Kadampa Buddhism or meditation!

I applied on this volonteering to do gardening but on the 1st day they imposed me to clean the temple with others volonteers. The "monk" was authoritary with us during the work and asked me to put away my bottle of water. I have back problems, after 6 hours of works, it hurted. I asked them to leave but they didn't take into account my inquiry and told me to wait to do gardening so I left. All volonteers were complaining about the pressure of the work that is actually a volonteering. This is not a budhist center but a sect against Dalaï lama. They take adavantage of volonteers for their needs

I had an overall good experience at the temple, but people should be prepared to not only help with tasks, but to do 6 hours of quite physical work. Work was from 9.30-17.00 everyday (including breaks), so it didn't leave a lot of time to do other things. But the food is always yummy and healthy and they the pool is great! Another thing is that you get told what you will for the day only in the morning (so that's good for spontaneous people:D) and the day you arrive counts as one of your free days. But the staff and the other volunteers were friendly and always available!
