- gardening
- reception assistance (check in/out)
- providing help to our guests

We are also looking for a person with a driver's license and experience of driving a manual transmission in case if we need help with the transfer of guests.

In general, the work takes 4-5 hours a day. Schedule rather floating, because some tasks can also pop up in the middle of the day or night, depending on the arrivals of guests. Working hours may also be less if you are doing everything well and quickly cope with the job.
Languages spoken

Accommodation

What else ...
Fuerteventura island is the best one for surfing in Canarias. So if you are not surfing, you have to try at least once, or two) It's a MUST!
The name Fuerteventura literally means "Strong Fortune" or "Strong Winds". It's true indeed! Strong winds are also attracts lots of people who are interested in kite boarding and windsurfing. Nice, ha?
The landscape of Fuerteventura is impressive, wild coasts along the ocean, volcanoes, deserts are eyes killers)
You can take a bike or bus, or a car and explore the island.
Lot's of people come here also to train themselves for different kinds of marathons, iron man etc.
Corralejo city, where we are located, is full of nice places, cafes, restaurants, shops and bars. So you won't be bored at the night time :)
We can continue to describe all advantages of being here...but best decision will be just to come here and try all these by yourself being a part of our team!

Looking forward to see you soon! :)

I really liked this Workaway; and it’s totally worth the work for what you get. 2.5 hrs of work a day ( give or take), one day off, 20€ a week during summer ( not sure the rest of the year). There’s about 4 other workawayers, not to mention guests so you’ve always got company. I’ve fallen in love with corralejo, and somebody once told me that you… read more

I stayed 7 weeks at the surf camp and it was a great first workaway experience.
