I spent a couple of weeks in this amazing place with the friendly and warm-hearted people.
In the garden you will be raking leaves/pine needles, picking up fruit/ dog poop, crumbling and sifting turf, removing maggots from sick plants, pinching off flower buds, rolling garden hoses. The work might look repetitive, but it has its own charm.

Every morning my primary task was to go through the garden to make sure that it looked nice and tidy before the arrival of the visitors at eleven. This included raking leaves and sweeping the patio, as well as picking up fruits… read more

The 6-star dream! Each day is very well organized and guided by tireless Pedro: in the first hours of the day pick up the dried leaves and delicious fruits lying around. Then the rest of the day I was assigned to cribble the 2 years' ripe compost or take off all the weeds with a long pincette (+ thick leather gloves to defy the cactus!); thus the… read more

I spent three weeks there and had a fantastic time for my third Workaway experience. It is a great mix of being in a peaceful village but not too far from the shops and bars of Denia. While the work wasn't so interesting (mainly picking weeds) - the hours were flexible and I had plenty of free time. In the evenings, Ilu often took me to Denia or… read more
