Area: Orce, Granada Province, Andalucia

I live with my partner in beautiful rural Andalucia in the province of Granada. We have been in Spain since 2002 and now live a simple relaxed life and look forward to meeting new people. We own a holiday cave house and let it throughout the year to all nationalities. We live in a cortijo (farm house) which has been renovated and we have acquired the adjoining cortijo and are in the process of sympathetically restoring it with the aim of using it as another holiday property. We have 2 cats in the house and often there are others around the house and land.

Area: Andalucia

We are a Spanish family of three, with one daughter who is 4 years old, and one dog. We live on a beautiful beach called El Palmar, 5 km from the Natural Park of La Breña.

Area: Asturias (N-Spain)

Asturias is a beautiful part of Northern Spain, great for hiking! We have mountains and the sea is nearby. This is a combined listing for two projects participating in our small animal welfare organisation, 25 km apart in the East of Asturias. 1) Small farm: I live in a farmhouse with 2 ha of land, taking care of a varying population of our own dogs plus dogs to be rehomed from the local shelter (9-13 dogs) We also have two donkeys - Yoana, who was born here and Jack from the donkey paradise. The neighbourr's horse was alone in a small meadow, so she is with us as well now. There is a lot to be done in and around the house: cleaning (first of all, dog hairs...), repairs, fencing, the vegetable garden and the other gardens.. Ongoing work - and the most important is of course taking care of the dogs and participate at the shelter on Saturdays (walking the dogs there). It would be good if you have a driver's licence! I prefer volunteers staying for 1-3 weeks. 1-2 volunteers is our max. as I am renovating the second house. Accommodation (see photos) Spare bedroom. In summer you can pitch a tent in the dog-free meadow. 2) The Donkey Paradise en Arobes: El Paraíso del burro - 25 km from Ceceda and 8 ha of land This project, set up by Dutch Marleen, welcomes volunteers preferably for longer periods as getting to know the 20+ donkeys does take some time. The vast area of land, the stables, the "cabaña" and the vegetable garden also need attention. This year she hopes to complete some building work, so building experience is very welcome! The "paradise" started 2 years ago as a home for old, retired donkeys. There are also 2 horses, a mule, 5 dogs and several cats. Accommodation: Spare bedroom in the main house, caravans for volunteers. Tents in summer. Marleen can accommodate 2-4 volunteers Contact: Please state in your e-mail which project you would like to spend your time volunteering. You can also combine your stay of course, as we are only 25 km apart. We always welcome enquiries by e-mail - do not just show up at the gate though! Volunteers need to speak English and they must like the outdoor life as the fincas are quite remote (1 and 3 km from the village). Asturias is in the North of Spain, between Galicia and Cantabria (and then Basque country). This region is called the Costa Verde and as you can imagine it looks more like Scotland than what most people expect when thinking of Spain. It's an ideal area for hiking, mountain walking (Picos de Europa!), mountain climbing, canoeing and of course we also have beaches (no sun guarantee though). Oviedo is at 30/55km and Gijon at 60/75km. Of course you can arrange to take a few days off to go hiking in the Picos or walk part of the Camino de Santiago - we are very flexible. You will find stories about the volunteers our blog - send us a message and we will send you the various links where you can read more! We think volunteering and hosting should be a fun experience, positive for both parties.

Area: Atlantic coast

I am living on the beautiful Andalucian coast with my two kids (12 and 14) that are both easy going and bilingual. The area we live in is a surfers paradise and is close to many local tourist towns that you could visit and explore. We have a house with 3 apartments that we are renting to tourists where there is always help needed. Caños de Meca is a little village at the Costa de la Luz, for anyone who wants to relax and enjoy nature and the local Spanish culture. It would be great if you had some skills in gardenwork, maintenance, computer skills or artistic flair. Playing piano or violin would be great for my daughter! We are happy to have couples.
