Iris was an absolute joy to have on our horse farm! She is hardworking, reliable, and truly passionate about animals.

My first Workaway experience at Pepa's place was fantastic! It is so peaceful and quiet there, that even the animals (horses, ponies, cats and dogs) are relaxed:) Pepa, Anneliese and Javier are very nice and helpful people.

Pepa, Anneliese and the whole crew made me feel very welcome and it was so nice to live, work and laugh with them. The regular work (feeding and mucking out) is fun with this team and is sweetened by the many cuddly horses and ponies, all well trained with lots of love, as you can easily see. I was so happy to have Anneliese as a roommate. She is

Pepa is also a fantastically special person who gives you so much warmth and openness. Plus, her laugh brightens up the whole room and her energy is infectious. All in all, everyone is just great, including Pepas Family and Friends.
I study remotely, so I was allowed to set up my workstation in the living room, where there is also internet. I will miss the workspace with a view of the riding arena! The internet worked well, but unfortunately not perfectly. But I could rely on fast internet around 70-80% of the time, so I was able to do my work with a bit of flexibility!
I was also allowed to move and entertain the horses in my free time, which for me as a big horse lover was of course a highlight. I was able to go on great rides with the kind riding instructor Paula, savor Chiwako's joy in the dressage arena and become friends with little Flamenca, who simply has the sweetest neigh ever. Oh and of course getting to know Anneliese's little ones!
I can wholeheartedly recommend this place and hope to come back another time!! Thank you for everything!Dejado por el anfitrión para el workawayer (Gioia)
We had the absolute pleasure of hosting Gioia on our horse farm, and we can't recommend her enough! Her riding skills were a tremendous asset, as she confidently handled our horses with care, precision, and a natural rapport. Whether it was exercising the horses, or ensuring their daily routines were met, she approached every task with

Beyond her equestrian talents, Gioia brought an artistic flair to her stay. As a hobby photographer, she captured stunning moments around the farm, and we particularly liked her candid shots of the horses. Her photos beautifully documented the essence of our farm, and we will cherish them for years to come.
Gioia is not only skilled and hardworking but also a delightful person to have around. She’s kind, reliable, and a quick learner who is always willing to lend a hand. Her positive energy and dedication made a noticeable difference, and we’re truly grateful for her contributions.
If you're considering hosting Gioia, don't hesitate—you’ll be lucky to have her on your team. We wish her all the best in her future adventures and hope to welcome her back someday!Comentarios

The past weeks I couldn't even write a review because I miss it too much on the horse farm. At first I was scared because it was my first Workaway experience but Anneliese and Pepa are truly heartwarming and sweet people.
I had the pleasure to live with Anneliese and we spent most of the time together which I really enjoyed. She is such a opened

I loved the evenings with Pepas family and friends, eating together and talking with eachother about everything. As a person that doesn't has that family time at home it was really beautiful to me. I loved to play with Martin, he is always up to something fun. I wished I had stayed longer.
The work was perfect for me. Feeding and looking after the horses was never work it was something I really enjoyed. The horses are all so well behaved and riding them was incredible. I enjoyed my freetime with reading or going on walks or visiting other cities. It was just the perfect radiation.
Coming from someone that has struggled with depression and anxiety this was the place were I finally could be truly happy and enjoying every second.
I recommend it to everyone to go there and if not you are missing out on something.
I will definitely come back because it is still in my head everyday :).
Thank you for the most amazing experience that you gave me.Dejado por el anfitrión para el workawayer (Juliane)
We had the pleasure of hosting Juliane on our horse farm, and she truly exceeded our expectations.

Not only was Juliane skilled, but she also had a warm, positive attitude that made her a wonderful presence on the farm. My 8 year old son particularly appreciated the time she spent with him, never tiring of his endless requests to play. She was respectful, adaptable, and eager to learn, which made her a perfect fit for our team. Her genuine love for animals was clear, and our horses took to her immediately.
We highly recommend Juliane to any host. She is hardworking, compassionate, and a pleasure to work with. We’d welcome her back anytime—she was an absolute asset!
We were thrilled to host Anja and Alexander, who actually call themselves Anna and Flexy, on our horse farm, and they both made an outstanding impact. Flexy’s skills in maintenance were a lifesaver—he tackled everything from repairing fences to general upkeep with enthusiasm and precision. His experience and hard work kept our facilities in top

Anna was equally impressive, showing a natural talent with our horses. She handled feeding, grooming, and mucking out with a gentle and attentive approach. Her calm demeanor and attention to detail made her a great asset, and she approached each task with care and efficiency.
Together, Anna and Flexy were respectful, hardworking, and a true joy to have on the farm. We highly recommend them to any host looking for a reliable, dynamic team!

I had the incredible pleasure of spending time with Pepa, her family and two other workawayers, and I can confidently say it was one of the best experiences of my life. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with open arms and made to feel like part of the family.
The location itself is stunning—nestled in the heart of countryside yet within a

Pepa is an exceptional person. Her warmth, kindness, and generosity are truly unmatched. She went above and beyond to ensure I felt at home, offering not only guidance and support with my tasks but also sharing culture, stories, and insights about the local area, and giving me space at the same time. It was clear that she genuinely cared about creating a meaningful and enriching experience for her Workawayers. I was also able to try out a few things that matched my skill set.
By the way, this is the perfect sanctuary for burnt out teachers, or people with chronic fatigue, depression, anxiety etc, like myself. The work is just perfect to stop that mind from racing but not physically too demanding. The location is so peaceful, it feels like a retreat. I could really switch off and recover here, both physically and mentally, it was priceless.
I will certainly be going back there at the earliest opportunity, and for as long as possible. Thank you so much to all of you xx

Last summer my daughter (12) and I spent a wonderful couple of weeks at the Athipika with Pepa, her sweet son Martin and 2 other workawayers. Pepa is a wonderful host who will always do anything in her power so everyone feels welcome and has a great experience while staying with her.

On some evenings we got to go on trailrides through the beautiful wineyards, on our free days we went to Barcelona for sightseeing and to the nearby beaches.
I hope we will come back to Athipika next year! Pepa, we still have to find a timeslot to have that quiet coffee and some good conversations 😉. Thank you for welcoming us to your home, for a wonderful time and for trusting me with everything!Solo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.

In my free time I got to ride and work with the horses. The trail rides were stunning and everyday was unlike the privies one. I got to learn a lot, gain some unforgettable memories, improve my language skills and meet many different people. It's hard to describe but in in German we have a saying called das Leben ist kein Ponyhof/ Life is not a pony farm (live isn't always fun) but live at the Athípika, kind of was like pony farm.
So, thank you Pepa, for giving me the unique opportunity to be a part of your horse farm and trusting me with your animals and thank you for welcoming me into your home. It was a pleasure meeting you and you animals.Solo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.

I visited Pepa for more than a month in summer 2022. It has been my first workaway experience and it was truly wonderful!
Pepa was a great host, often making sure that me and other volunteers feel good and comfortable and despite being quite busy she has managed to take me to different places and interesting events.
The work is mainly concentrated

In my free time I was able to ride horses a lot both on the arena and on the rutas as well as do some groundwork with them. All of the horses are lovely and they have very different characters which makes it even more interesting to work with them. The amazing views and sunsets that we got to admire during the rutas will be my best memories<3
During my time there I had a lot of occasions to speak Spanish: with kids from the summer camp, people coming to the stable, Papa's friends and the staff. I am happy that I have managed to improve my Spanish, especially conversational skills, as it was one of my goals for this trip.
There's a lot more I could say but all in all: it was an incredible experience during which I have learned a lot, met amazing people and got to spend a lot of time with horses. I am really grateful to Pepa for making it possible for me to have this experience. Thank you!Solo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.

I have been in the Athipica from April 26th and I planned to stay for a month and a half. Eventually I stayed for 5 months. I think that says enough about this amazing place that Pepa and her family have created. I was mostly involved with the horses who get amazing care and a lot of love.

The best place I could choose in this "corona time". Farm is on country side, so I could be in a quiet place, surrounded by nature. There is many tourist trails around, even a small forrest. However you wont feel alone there, because there is still somebody around - workers on the farm, ppl who have classes there or ppl who came to take care of

My tasks was mainly to take care of Martí, smart little child, who understand english very well, he speaks english just a little, but I was surprised he understood all I told him. He is very well behaved, really. He likes to play tennis, football. We also played a lot with children's kit. Another task was to design a property, so I made a garden plan for a family.
From the first moment I felt very good in Pepa´s place. I felt good energy there. I really miss that place. I hope once I ll live in simmilar place surrounding by good ppl.
Pepa is hardworking mom, she is easy-going and she loves her home and her family. Oh, and horses. :)
I wanna say THANK YOU for letiing me in your home. It was amazing experience and I hope once I also can host ppl and make them feel like they are at home. :) Also I hope I ll come back one time in the future and I ll see a thriving community center. :)
Say hello to everyone, especially to that small Leopardo. <3

Dear Pepa,
I cannot thank you enough for the wonderful month I got to spend at the hipica! Everybody coming there will feel at home from the first day on, thanks to your openheartedness and Martins goodnight besitos. During my stay I did not only learn a lot about horses and life on a Spanish horse farm, but I also learned what it means to always

While the equiclub develops more and more into what you want it to be one day, so much stuff is going on at the same time, and still, everybody can find his or her own place and role in this whole process. As every volunteer is allowed to choose some own projects, additionally to the usual daily chores that come along with keeping horses and living with your little family, there is also space for some personal development and growth by trying and doing new things. I only left two days ago, but I am already starting to miss Spanish winter with so much sun that I have freckles all over my face now and nights, with a Skye full of stars, because there are no city lights around that could blur the view. The surroundings of the hipica are just as beautiful as the hipica itself and all the people living and working there. This place will definitely stay in my heart forever and I could not be more thankful for a first workaway experience like that.
Thank you soo much! I am sending a big hug and lots of love from Germany!Solo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.

The atmosphere of our big family has always inspired us to make decisions on landscaping of farm and home organization!

And keep cooking with love for all of us, marveling at my extra energy.)
And of course, in addition to well-coordinated work (in relaxed and positive mood, here you are your own coordinator), we also friendly and fun spent free time together. All these barbecues, horse rides, planting new plants, trips to the sea, birthdays, meeting many friends and relatives with traditions of Catalonia, - will stay forever in my mind and heart!

Thank you for giving me such an unforgettable warm welcome to your family and making me part of it, I needed this experience more than I could imagine!

My daughter and I stayed at the Ranch for almost a month in July-August this year.

My duties were mainly around the horses, which were rather joyful and not work for me,

I recommend anyone interested in horses (riding, training, natural horsemanship, horse therapy...), anyone who is interested in agroforestry or gardening, anyone who can work with wood and clay, anyone who is interested in Marketing... to go and share knowledge and experience Ranch life and Catalan lifestyle.
There is a bus in Renau if you want to go to Tarragona or you can also use the bikes to check the surroundings.
Thank you Peppa for the authentic Catalan experience. We enjoyed all the events you took us to.
We now have a new family in Renau. We will be back for sure.

We've met a lot of friends and family of Peppa and enjoyed the trips to the beach and the lovely Catalan village El Catllar. The horseriding under the stars accompanied by Zoe was the summum! We hope to come back to help out again and to see how far they have come to realize their dream.Solo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.
