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 🎨.
We usually share lunch together from Tuesday to Friday, enjoying homemade Spanish and Mediterranean-inspired dishes 🥘. Accommodation varies between shared rooms, a campervan, or tents, depending on the season and availability.
The program requires about 12 hours of help per week (3h/day, 4 days), 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. 💫
