Program Details

Our coliving project is located in a peaceful village surrounded by forests and the Uma River, just 5 km from Ponteareas. 🌿 Here, volunteers can connect with nature while supporting different activities such as gardening, eco-building, house maintenance, cooking, cleaning, or even creating art like paintings and mosaics 🎨.

Accommodation varies between shared rooms, a campervan, or tents, depending on the season and availability.

The program requires about 10 hours of help in the weekend and having an eye at the house and pets when we are not there, giving you plenty of time to explore waterfalls, trekking paths, medieval castles, local markets, and even the nearby beaches of Galicia 🏖️.

This is also a cultural exchange: we love practicing languages, sharing ideas about history, philosophy, and culture, and creating a friendly, open-minded community. 💫
