I stayed for 5 days in David and Raquel´s home in the tranquil setting of Carrnanza, coming here was an amazing contrast to my previous workaway experiences as I had not yet before looked after animals and enjoyed the pleasures of a simple farming lifestyle.

Hola, sorry for the late feedback ! Eneko is a very kind person, I was happy to work with him for my first experience in a farm ! He taught me new things about gardening and agriculture. The work was never too hard or physical which is good for people who don't know about it. Most of the time I was helping Eneko to prepare the vegetables he was… read more

Hi! Sorry for not leaving feedback sooner. I didn't get to stay for too long but David Raquel Marta and Ireani were such nice people to be around, really friendly and relaxed but also not so relaxed that you feel like you need to ask for things to do/that you're being unhelpful as a guest. They make sure every job you're doing is what you're… read more

Rakel is super warm hearted and nice person, we share our… read more
