I went to Cath not knowing how long I would stay but ended up staying with her for 6 weeks, and what an amazing 6 weeks it was. Cath is an incredible person with so much creativity, strength, determination and yet keeping her softness, caring nature, open-mindedness and curiousity. She was always willing to teach and share her knowledge. Through

Being with all the beautiful animals, trees, plants, insects and beings around and on the land - the furry, feathery, wooly ones and more, all with their own personalities and lessons to share.. thanks to all of them and Cath, i got to learn much about myself. We shared much laughter together and also deep, heartfelt conversations about life, nature and ourselves, i am so grateful to have had this life-changing experience and to have found someone like Cath who has left such a deep impression in me, a friendship i hold dearly. Thank you Cath, till the next time, much love and biggest hug 🥰
Mel is an amazing person who has helped me in so many ways. She is open for any task, even moving sheep shit, and an extremely fast learner. She has an eye for details, is respectful, and independent. She helped me with daily routine tasks, such as taking care of the animals, and with special projects such as building a huge treehouse platform and

In the six weeks we spent together we enjoyed many moments of observing nature growing and philosophying about personal growth after a hard day's work. She has contributed in a positive way to every two- and four-legged being on and around the land (even six- and eight-legged ones ;-)). I'm deeply grateful for this new friend. I hope to see you soon again! Thank you, Mel

Vero is an amazing person! Calm, respectful, hardworking, and with a smile on her face.

I might go on with my praise, or just tell you that I offered her to stay permanently🙂 I can't imagine a better land mate.
Thanks for everything, Vero! Hugs and kisses from all two- and four-legged ones! 😘 (especially from Dumbo, jiji)

Being at Cath’s was such a beautiful experience for me, since the first day until the last one, every little part of it.
Cath has really made herself this little part of world a home full of love. The tiny house and the tent where I stayed were both super cozy, I felt welcomed and secure and taken care of at all times. I saw and learned loads of

Cath is very respectful, smart and loving. Oh, and also an excellent cook!
I stayed for a month, I helped taking care of the 3 dogs, sheep, chickens and rabbits (the cat is quite independent haha), in the first days I spend a lot of time in the vegetable garden, which was super rewarding for me (we grew a 5kg zucchini!). We also did quite a bit of cementing, walls made of stones and glass bottles etc., general maintenance of the land, even a bit of sewing :).
I had the opportunities to go and see A Coruña and Santiago and even though Cath wouldn’t accompany me, she made sure I had all the information needed.
I just left and I already miss greatly all the inhabitants of the finca. Much love to everyone and see you soon! xxxDu kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
Vom Host für Workawayer (Domenico (Mick))
Mick is a physically fit young man who has just started a new journey in life, and as a workawayer. He is keen on learning how to do different things and crafts. He has stayed with me for four weeks and helped me a lot with different tasks, especially the ones that require muscle strength. We have put up posts and fence, worked with concrete to

Since he is such a physically strong person he made wood chopping look easy😉 and he was happy to carry a lot of heavy things from one place to another - a work I couldn't have done without him. Basically, he saw working on the land as a workout and loved to wear himself out, without having lost his energy the next day (amazingly🙂 ).
You can also have some profound talks about life, and it's difficulties, with Mick. And keep in mind that he is a professional photographer. So, if you want some excellent imagery of your project, just let him know.
Thank you, Mick, for all your help on so many levels! Big hug, all the best for your journey, lots of peace, and a kiss for Mila

I can only be greatful for this experience. I stayed 1 month with Catharina, and i learned a lot of new skills about how to work in the land. Some of my tasks during the stay where: Taking care of the animals and the stabels, making fances, chopping wood, work the ground, plant vegetables, make cemento for new walls, and move a lot of heavy stuff

Cath is really an warm person. She was really nice and sweet with me and my dog Mila. The food was really good (all fresh and healty ingrediends).
For the rest, I can say that stayng togheter, we helped eachother to grow psychologically, and i had the possibility to learn a lot about myself.
I reccomend this experience to everyone who wants to get in touch with his/her self, and stay in contact with nature and autenthic people.
Thank you for everything Cath. I can say without problems that i have a new good friend now 😊
Take care and give a big to the dogs.

Vom Host für Workawayer ( Matthew & Bonny)
Bonny and Matt stayed with me for 15 days. Everything I can say about them would sound cliché, so just invite them and enjoy their company yourself. They are extremely educated and respectful people who don't mind getting their hands dirty. You can chat with them about Heidegger as much as about chickens. What they don't know, they are eager to

We had an amazing time staying with Cath for 2 weeks. Cath was the perfect host. We were struck by her intelligence and found her to be wonderful company. It was no trouble to agree on mutual expectations; she is a really clear communicator and sensitive to others’ needs. She’s also very knowledgeable and happy to share what she knows. We would

The work was enjoyable and varied, and included gardening, weeding, helping to build a house extension, cooking meals, cutting firewood and helping with her animals (chickens, rabbits, sheep and dogs). We had space and time to ourselves every day.
The accommodation was a glamping tent and was comfortable for the two of us. The area where Cath lives is absolutely spectacular, there are lovely walks through the forest and there is a beautiful lake nearby where you can swim. The only negative was that we couldn’t stay for longer! We would recommend this workaway to anyone considering - it was a thoroughly fulfilling and enriching experience. Thank you Cath.Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

Best experience ever! Why, because this place is incredible, beautiful and quiet, with the best, caring and amazing host ever and lots of lovely animals. The tent was very cosy and comfi, the outdoor bathroom covered in another tent an experience of awareness (water use, etc...) and the privacy all in all perfect! The job started daily in the
… read more morning around 9/10am, going with the rhythm of nature and need of the animals. The work by itself was different, sometimes gardening, sometimes work on wood, our agreement was my daily vegetarian cooking routine, Cath showed me sheepherding and taking care of her animals (3 sheep, 6 chicken, 11 rabbits, 2 dogs, 1 cat) - which means that I cared for them also occasionally in the afternoon or evening, because they needed their food + water and for the night a closed gate for protection too- clearing some parts of the land, cleaning, cutting stuff away, moving things around etc... every day was different, sometimes a bit harder, sweaty too, sometimes not but every day with fantastic music, in good company and with deep conversations. There is so much work to do, every help is welcome but there is also time to enjoy this place and sleep under a tree or sit and breathe nature in. Cath is an amazing person to meet, honest about herself, her life, able to reflect, supportive, caring, she wants to make your time with her as comfortable as possible- and she did with me! She has lots of wisdom to share and her soul is connected with nature and a happy healty lifestyle for herself and her animals.
The train station is in walking distance (around 30min) to get you to A Coruna or Santiago... which I did 2 times on my days off. In her town is no shop, either you walk, bike o bring your own car to go somewhere. The whole area is beautiful, quiet nature, an August in Galicia full of weather surprises (from rain to sunshine to heat wave back to rain, temperature dropping up and down- be prepaired with clothes!) and 40min by car to stunning beaches on the atlantic ocean.
Cath, Thank you so so much for everything, I learned more then I could imagine, physically, mentally, spiritually, naturewise, you made my time with you and "our" animals unforgetable. I highly recommend this place and her :)Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

Pia stayed with me for four weeks. Actually, she has been my first contact with a 'workawayer', and I am so grateful. She has been easy-going and hard-working. Pia helped me with my animals (they miss her) and many other tasks on the land, such as preparing firewood, building a platform among trees, or cleaning annoying fern and blackberry plants.
