UN sustainability goals this host is trying to achieve
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Where we live is absolutely stunning. On a clear day, we can see the mountains of Morocco across the shimmering Med. Being off grid is challenging at times but we love it just the same. It keeps us closer to nature. The road up to the ranch is little more than a mountain track. This is an opportunity to experience the beautiful and diverse land of the Alpujarras, ranging from pine forests and alpine meadows to wooded valleys and gorges as well as almond, olive and orange groves. A chance not only to discover spectacular landscapes and inspiring scenery, but also to experience the culture of the area. Local farmers are still using mules to plough and the moorish water channels to irrigate their land. There is plenty to learn with the caring & rehabilitation of the horses, dogs and cats & learning hands-on general farm practices. We also grow our own fruit and vegetables and farm in traditional Spanish methods.
Help
Volunteers will be helping on the ranch each day to help with our Association for rescue animals: mucking out, cleaning tack, exercising horses, walking dogs, farm and fence maintenance & taking turns with domestic chores. We provide food and accommodation.

I had a few days spare and Sarah allowed me to help out on her farm. It was a great experience where I helped look after the horses, dogs and chickens. I had an awesome couple of days and only wish I had more time to spend there. I even got to ride the horses on a trek!! Thanks a lot Sarah.

I stayed in this MAGIC PLACE longer than I planned. I spent there amazing time thanks to great people, animals and beautiful mountains around. I forgot about whole world, living in the moment and working with horses. I will miss this peaceful life, far from civilization and close to the nature. I couldn't wish for more.

Eszter should have read the other reviews. She only stayed a few days, as she did not particularly like animals (didnt want to even touch the horses) and was very upset at the thought of clearing up animal pooh! Im sure Eszter would be fine in other volunteer positions, but was not suited to a working farm environment.

My experience at the horse farm was quite disappointing, and I decided to leave after just one day. Although the family is nice, and the scenery is beautiful, the hours of work expected were way more than what one can expect from Workaway. They told in advance that longer working hours can be expected because of the horses, which is OK, but they… read more
