Vom Host für Workawayer (Frances)
It was a pleasure to have Frances in our home, she fitted into our lifestyle and we felt confident in leaving her to carry on with all the tasks we had given her. Unfortunately it was extremely hot when Frances was here but she arranged her own work scheduled to fit in with the heat. As well as helping with the weeding and cleaning around the

I would recommend Frances to help in any situation but especially helping with animals and older people.

Staying with Vera and Barry was awesome. You will have your own room with an ensuite bathroom and a balcony overlooking the beautiful countryside. Vera gives clear instructions on what needs to be done. Riding on her quad was one of the highlights. Kepal, Betty and Cas are amazing dogs. So loving. Vera included me in her activities; drinks with

Working at/around the house of Vera and Barry was an absolute pleasure! I stayed for about 3 weeks and there was great communication back and forth. The work was fitting and would differ almost daily, which I enjoyed very much - anything from weeding, olive/almond picking, painting to cleaning the windows 😅

They respect private time but also invite you to take part in local activities, whether it's football, intercambio (really nice people there) or going out to a restaurant etc.
The surroundings are absolutely breathtaking and the steep slopes are perfect for a run and then a dip in the pool.
Accomodation was luxurious as you have your own bathroom, double bed and a shared terrace with an outstanding view!Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
Vom Host für Workawayer (Ole)
Ole was an excellent workaway and carried out all the tasks delegated to him. He is hard working, reliable, trustworthy and has a pleasant personality. He integrated very well in our family and with our friends. I would recommend Ole as he is hard working and willing to help with a variety of tasks both in and outside the home.

I spent a month at the family villa near Riogordo. There was a good mix of work covering deep weeding, olive collection and olive tree pruning. Most of the time I was accompanied by their four dogs and two cats that were always curious about what I was doing. They also took me out for a few cultural events and meals and introduced me to some of
… read more their friends, as they believe that integration with spanish culture is something all Brits should be trying their hardest to do and they have set a good example to follow.
The location is stunning, with a huge mountain at the back of the house and pleasant rolling hills in the front, and I never got tired of just sitting on the balcony of the house once work was done looking at the scenery while the sun was shining - even though it was only February!
At nights it did get cold and I greatly appreciated the big log burning stove which warmed up the room beautifully and which Barry kept a close eye on while making many wisecracks about what was being said on the tv.
The highlight for me was the evening meal, where Vera would pull out all the stops to make sure we had a hearty and tasty different dish each night. Yum yum! She also baked a different cake each week and I looked forward to a slice at my morning tea break each day.
It was the perfect balance between experiencing the great outdoors and having the comfort of great home amenities. Couldn't have asked for a better Workaway experience.Weitere Bilder

Vom Host für Workawayer (Mateusz)
Mateusz came with little experience of working on the land but was a very quick learner. He was not frightened to get his hands dirty and carried out all the tasks he was given. He is very reliable and a very sociable young man. He was always keen to please and even in his free time would often play with the dogs.

I stayed in Vera's house two weeks. It was my first workaway experience. Vera taught me a lot of new things for example how to take care of flowers and soil.

Vom Workawayer (Eduardo & Jaqueline) für Host
We spent two weeks with Vera and family working in her yard. We painted a balustrade around the pool and did some weedings in her garden. The work was 5 hours per day/5 days week. They were very flexible with our schedule time and days off.
We were very welcome for the family with good food and drinks, a nice bedroom with our own bathroom and a

Riogordo is a small village with restaurants, supermarkets, buses to Málaga and everything that we needed. The house is located around 3 km uphill from the village. They always offered help with transportation for the village (even offered their quad) and got us ride for Malaga to take our bus. Besides, they invited us to join in their Spanish lessons and to gather with their friends.
Thank you for the opportunity and we wish all the best for you.Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
Vom Host für Workawayer (Eduardo & Jaqueline)
I would recommend Edu and Jaqui as they were reliable, trustworthy and could be left to get on with the tasks allocated to them. They painted around the pool and helped with weeding in the garden. They fitted in well with our lifestyle, accepting the dogs and helped with my mother when required.
Vom Host für Workawayer (Milos)
I would recommend Milos to any host. He worked very hard on our land whi ch is very stoney and on an incline. He fit in well with all the family and the animals.
We would have him back.
Vom Host für Workawayer (Eirik)
I would recommend Eirik to any hosts. He worked very hard and fit in with our family and lifestyle.
Eirik's use of the English language is excellent and was very good helping my Spanish friends children with their English at our intercambio group.
Thank you Eirik for a job well done.
Vom Workawayer (Eirik) für Host
I had a great time staying with Barry and Vera at their beautiful house up in the mountains near Riogordo.
I either worked in their garden or (due to the rain we had for a week) in their house, painting a big room. The work is very good and not too hard, but the garden work involves working on a steep slope.
During work we often shared a cup of

They always took me to the nearest bus station to go to Málaga and picked me up. Furthermore they took me to many great places to visit and let me join them when they met their friends where I could also improve my Spanish a little.
Thank you very much, I will not forget the time I spent with you and all your efforts.Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

A big thank you to Vera & Barry for having me stay at their lovely house for 5 weeks. I had no idea what to expect as this was my first workaway experience, but it was amazing and rewarding.

Mylene fitted in very well and soon become one of the family. She helped with the garden and helped with the foster puppies. She also completed some work for us on the computer when the weather was unsuitable to work outside. Mylene was very flexible and would be will for her to return any time.
Vom Workawayer (Connie) für Host
I only stayed with Vera, Barry and Blanche for a couple days but they welcomed me into their home as if I was family. I harvested carobs and almonds and painted the garage during my stay which was enjoyable with Cass and Ben and their amazing view. I worked longer hours to have the weekend off and they took me to dip my feet in the Mediterranean
… read more for the first time. Vera is a wonderful cook and their house is beautiful. I actually got a lot more than I bargained for as they taught me a lot about the culture and history of the area.
It was definitely a great first workaway experience and I hope I’ll get an opportunity to travel back to Riogordo to see them again!

Although Connie was only with us for a short period, she fit in with our family and lifestyle very well. Connie was willing to help with any kind of work we had from picking almonds to painting the garage. We would have Connie back any time.

I had a great time with Vera and Barry and the dogs. We went to events in town and the view is beautiful. The gardening was hard work, but taking breaks was not a problem and I really enjoyed my time with this family.

Vom Host für Workawayer (Jonathan)
Jonathan fitted well in with our family and we enjoyed his company the three weeks he stayed with us. He did all the jobs he was asked to complete and is a whizz putting together IKEA furniture (no shouting or swearing was heard while him and Barry assembled a large wardrobe).

I spent a delightful three weeks with Barry, Vera, and Blanche. I painted the balustrade and help with moving chino and placing rocks in the garden. It was great working with Barry and Vera, and they like to work at an easygoing pace, without any stress.
The accommodation was private room with bath and high quality wifi. Vera is an excellent

Blanche is just plain cool.
All in all, I highly enjoyed my stay, and I would welcome the chance to stay again if my travels ever take me back to Riogordo.
