Vom Workawayer (Chloe & Idir) für Host
We stayed one week with Blai in the Republic of freedom and it was so beautiful in all aspects ! Blai is a great person who made us feel welcome from the first minute, we had a lot of fun, deep conversations and learnt so many things. While we were there we mainly worked on building the mud walls for a tiny house in the forest. The place is a real

Chloe and Idir are a very sweet and hardworking couple-team, they did not spend more than a week but we are very glad that they came to help, it's been a very hot weather the last week, even then they gave their best and made a nice progress with the projects at home, with their work and knowledge with bio construction they also gave us some tips

Vom Workawayer (Beatriz) für Host
I have spent some wonderful days at Blai’s farm. When I left I was so happy I got to experience living in there even though I could only stay for a week. The house is big but super cosy. I loved waking up and being greeted by all the dogs and cats, they are pure love. Blai is a great host, he cooks amazingly and I had the best tomato toasts of my
… read more life. I returned home wanting to eat more food “from the ground” and less supermarket processed things. I felt super comfortable talking about anything with Blai. (I eat very slowly so we would have looong talks during lunch and dinner :) I could also try some things for the first time such as digging holes and I could connect with the horses as well (was not so used to being around them) ... I could learn a lot. Blai is so skillful and has an amazing mindset that also helped me with my own self. We would always communicate in Spanish and with that, he helped me improving my verb tenses errors. I hope I’ll be able to go back very soon!! I miss this place already.Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

The experience with Beatriz it's been super nice during this short period of time she came for a visit and give a hand with the project. Even she is not very used to work on a farm she always tried her best and put lots of effort with everything she was doing, we conclude that her best hidden skill is digging holes and caring about the insects and

Beatriz was always ready to give a hand and always caring a lot about cleaning the house, kitchen and some other little jobs around, also very good hand taking care of the animals and helping out organizing other workawayers that arrived the day before of her departure. It's nice to see how a short term stay can end up with a nice friendship that I wish will last with the time. Thank you for your help and support Beatriz, we will miss you.

We had a very short time to get to know each other because for personal reasons he couldn't stay longer and the few days he spent here I was also very busy dealing with my personal things as well, overall Tomas has a very good vibe and he helped for the project as much as the time allowed him, so thank you for everything and we will be here

Vom Workawayer (Mollie & Jacob) für Host
Sometimes in life there are people that slightly alter the lens through which you view life after meeting them, and Blai was one of those people for us. Blai is a person that 'just does' and as a result has learned a whole range of skills and gathered some amazing life experiences and stories to share with others.
The project itself is
… read more beautiful, the location is rural and serene and the animals are the best to be around. There's plenty work to be done from building to gardening to general tasks involved with living in this way. If you have considered off - grid living, this would be the perfect place to get a small taste.
Also, if you're into tomatoes, you're in luck. Best in Cataluña.
Gracias Blai, we wish you all the luck in the world and hope to see you again.Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

Mollie & Jacob are a couple from the UK eager to learn, work, explore and travel.

Vom Workawayer (Fayiz) für Host
It was my first Workaway experience in Spain, and I can confidently say that it has been my best Workaway adventure so far. I had the privilege of spending a week with Blai and his wonderful family, as well as their farm, dogs, horses, and cats. I left with a heavy heart, filled with cherished memories.
The primary focus of this Workaway

It's incredibly fulfilling to contribute to Blai's vision of creating a like-minded community dedicated to animal care and the preservation of untouched nature across 100 hectares of land.
Blai's excellent mentorship ensures that you align your skills and interests with the tasks at hand. As a Renewable Energy enthusiast, I was thrilled that Blai enthusiastically provided a detailed explanation of his off-grid paradise, powered solely by solar PV systems. This deepened my connection with the place and its surroundings.
The working hours are flexible, and Blai's humour and support create a lively and enjoyable working environment. He is a true jack-of-all-trades, sharing expertise and knowledge in a wide variety of fields, from carpentry to electronics, from medicine to cooking, from sailing to archery. Conversations with him are both entertaining and enlightening.
Spending time with his family was a genuine cultural exchange for me. Cooking and feasting together on Indian and Spanish delicacies, and sharing endless stories, are moments I will always treasure. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to be part of his project again in the future.
For those seeking a chance to connect with animals, community, and nature in perfect harmony, I wholeheartedly recommend this raw transformative experience. It will help you reconnect with your roots and foster an appreciation for harmonious coexistence.Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

What a nice place to stay ! I've spent 3 beautiful weeks in Blai's house and farm. It was so amazing, I felt like home.

He do cook very well, but if you

During 3 weeks we have been doing eco-construction with mud/clay/straw, taking care of horses, animals, gardening... During the day, we do what need to be done . We can ask any question to Blai during the work, he answers as much as he can and he's always welcoming new ideas.
The animals are also really kind, I love them so much ( especially Peter <3, but I love others too).
The place is very calm, inside a forest remote from cities and roads. We have been playing chess, doing archery, watching the stars, discuss a lot about everything.
This is the place to go if you want to learn things and have a cultural exchange, be with animals, eat well, and also have a lot of time for yourself.
I would 100% came back.
Thanks for everything, I send you my all my love for you and your project.Vom Host für Workawayer (Léa)

Vom Workawayer (Daniel & Iveta) für Host
Blai is a very warm and welcoming person. He gave us a safe space which we appreciated the most. We got to sleep under the stars, learn archery, build a mud/straw house, play with dogs cats and horses, and many other things.
We also ate a lot.
The cultural exchange in this place was great, and we really had an amazing time for our whole stay

I had a wonderful stay with Blai, he is a very friendly and open person and I felt immediately welcomed when I arrived. He also has plenty of amazing stories from his travels around the world! His family visited while I was was staying and they are all lovely people. As well the dogs and cats are super friendly and always around for cuddles :)

The propertly is very beautiful, it's quite isolated in the mountains so it's very peaceful. Plenty of exploring to do around, as well spending time relaxing in the hammock or having a bath in the river. There's lots of work to do, on the house, in the garden, helping with animals and construction, I think there is a project to suit anybody, as long as you're happy to try new things and give it a go!
Thank you Blai for teaching me about bio-construction and giving me the chance to wind down and experience the peaceful mountain life, even just for a little while, I have many happy memories and hope to visit again one day!!
