Olive picker
The experience
In the fall the olive harvest takes place. It is very hard work so you need to be physically and mentally fit and strong. It is not dangerous and you don't really need previous experience but you should know your body well and be able to work all day long. The surroundings are incredibly beautiful and it is rewarding in many ways. You will work 3/7 days as a volunteer unless you are a real working machine and want to earn some extra as discussed
