I stayed at Phil's for a week and had a great time there. He is a very kind and respectful man, with whom I had some great conversations on interesting subjects. He's also a fantastic cook and never one to turn down a game, with a special mention for Backgammon.

Sharing the house with passing guests is also a great way to broaden your horizons,… read more

Ramone is a happy, sunny personality. She is enthusiastic, hard working and quick and keen to learn. She helped me in a variety of tasks primarily in leveling a cement floor to receive tiles. She also helped on donkey treks and was great with the guests. Unfortunately our plans were complicated by an unexpected flood, which she also handled… read more

Felix and Paloma are overall top-notch hosts and I couldn't have asked for a better first Workaway experience. From the moment I met them they were very friendly and also showed themselves to be very generous throughout my stay.

Accomodation is very comfortable. To sleep you have your own caravan with a double bed, space to store your things,… read more portable lights, and warm duvets and throws. Food was fully provided for and depending on the season you may even be positively overwhelmed by the ripe mangoes and avocadoes there are to eat ;) In Felix and Paloma's house there is also a fully equipped bathroom with a hot shower, a fireplace for colder evenings, and a killer couch. Their door is pretty much always open and you are free to chill there in your off time. There is also WiFi in and around the house. A few household chores are shared on a daily basis such as sweeping the floor and doing the dishes, and Felix and Paloma are always happy if you decide to cook or bake for them, but this is not obligatory.

I stayed during the first two weeks of October and did a variety of fun tasks. These were mainly: fertilising mango and avocado trees, gathering firewood, sorting and packing avocados to be shipped, restoring the chicken coop, harvesting avocados, and picking and planting veg from the veg patch. Work days were organised as follows: 8am breakfast, work from 8:30/9 until 11:30, snack break from 11:30 to 12:30/45, same or lighter work until lunch at 2:30. After lunch I was free to do as I pleased until dinner at 8:30pm. I never worked more than 5-6 hours a day, 5 days a week, and Felix and Paloma are always kind, fair, and usually working close by!

Thanks to lifts from Felix to and from Almuñécar bus station, I was able to visit Almuñécar, Nerja, Frigiliana, and Córdoba on my days off! Felix is a very sociable person and we had some interesting conversations about his life and organic farming in the region. Him and Paloma have a very lovely relationship to witness and are perfect business partners too! They have 2 dogs and 1 cat which are all adorable and love affection :)

All in all I felt very at ease during this Workaway and would be more than happy to come back and help again! I came out of this experience more knowledgable about organic farming, Andalusian culture, and more appreciative of the simple things in life. Thank you both for trusting and integrating me into your busy lives, and for being so patient with my Spanish... ¡Ahora que llegue la lluvia! ;)
