Update (April 2024):
It's the beginning of the spring and we are working on multiple projects at the same time. Mainly construction of two cabins, growing the vegetable gardens, infrastructure of toilets and showers and more. We already have a couple of volunteers and we would love to have more volunteers with us.

Hello everyone!
We are happy to invite volunteers to our new home in Sierra de Gredos.
We are two families, Jonathan and Aya and Guy and Noam with 3 kids (ages 8, 5, 2).
After many years of travels around the world, we finally managed to fulfill our dream and purchased a beautiful farm in Villanueva de La Vera (2 hours from Madrid) where we are developing our eco, off grid farm, GECO Village.
Accommodation - as we are moving to the farm, we offer volunteers to come with campers, vans. We provide tents with proper sleeping arrangements on our land.
Meals - we offer 3 meals a day together with us. We love to cook and it's the best way to get to know each other.. Usually vegan or vegetarian.
About us:
A bit more about ourselves and the farm:
During the COVID-19 pandemic, we realized that Europe in general and Spain in particular can offer us what we are looking for in terms of land. We traveled the country for few years until we discovered Sierra de Gredos in 2020 (by chance - we looked for a campsite on the way from north of Spain to the South).
We fell in love with the peaceful energy of the area, the green nature and endless of springs and rivers. We learned that the locals call the area "the forgotten land". The mountains hills full of oak and pine trees, lavender and rosemary bushes.
Now, three years since the first time we visited our land and endless trips to the area, we are in the last part of the first phase of our journey - the creation of the base camp.
We are inviting volunteers and visitors from around the world to join us and create a unique and special experience in the heart of Sierra de Gredos.
We are looking for volunteers with different expertises and skills. Feel free to contact us with more questions.
Have a lovely day.Tipos de ayuda y oportunidades de aprendizaje

Travelers will get to meet our families and ourselves. We are four adults with experience in interior design, development, art, construction and more. We travelled in over 50 countries and lived around the world. In addition, we will share meals together during their stay, cook together and get to know each other. Travelers will get to meet other families like us who can offer new experiences and Workaway's projects. Believe us - it will be a great experience for you. Our farm/land is a beautiful place full of opportunities - workshops, meetups, building community and more.

We are looking for general volunteers who can help us with different tasks around the our land (we own 42 hectares of wild nature with a river, springs) and with the building of our base camp.
