Description
Hi! We are a couple who bought an old hunting lodge in alora in Southern Spain a few years ago. Swimming pool, pool table, boules, roof terrace - all very beautiful. The lodge came with 10 acres of olive grove attached to it (It had been abandoned for many years) and it's now restored and registered organic and we are olive oil producers. We also have recently obtained a large greenhouse and have planted 2000 organic Pataya (dragon fruit) plants and this is where we need help.
We are 35 minutes drive from
Malaga and 20 minutes drive to the beautiful lakes at El Chorro and the famous Caminito del Ray
Types of help and learning opportunities
Help with Eco Projects
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Travellers can learn about organic farming - specifically olive oil and Pataya.
Help
We are very keen to have trustworthy volunteers stay with us for 8 days from may 3rd -11th to help us with the Pataya.,
Languages spoken
English: Fluent
Accommodation
A double room with ensuite within the family house.
What else ...
We are a 20 minute walk from the very pretty white village of Alora, which has plenty of bars and restaurants. We're also a 20 minute walk from Alora railway station where you can get direct trains to Malaga or to Ronda. If you have a car, El Chorro is only a 25 minute drive away and the famous Caminito Del Rey walk. But if we all get on, we may even drive you there! We do ask you are independent in your spare time - we live in quite an open plan house!
