Charlie, Mö and Hilda the puppy left their wonderful footprints on our land! From Mö’s enthusiasm for everyday tasks and building a beautiful terrace at the yurt (which Charlie helped plan and design)to Charlie’s artistic flare in painting the yurt door. They were very respectful of our space and worked independently and using their initiative as

Everything was left tidy and clean on their departure. I highly recommend Charlie Mö and Hilda to the workaway community and I would not hesitate to welcome them back in the future.
We stayed in the yurte for 7 weeks (January and February) and had a supergood time! The oranges, mandarines, avocado and grapefruit were plenty and ready to eat. There is a supernice view on Sierra-Nevada and other surrounding Mountain. The almond-trees started to bloom, birds were singing and the two puppys (Dante, who lives with debbie and

Debbie and Vic were the perfect hosts, who respected our privacy and very open and easy to communicate with. On some weekends, they cooked spanish cuisine for and with us. During the week, we cooked for ourselves in the super equipped kitchen close to the yurte. The nice wood-burner/stove in the yurte, a good outdoor toilet and (warm) outdoor shower made the off-grid experience luxurious for us. We could walk into the nice, lively small town Orgiva in 15 minutes to do grocerys or have a drink.
The expectations totally matched. We looked after Puppy-Dante, when Debbie was out, and did some light renovation, general maintenance and diy-building work. Also a nice holiday-vibe, we left the place very relaxed and with full energy level, ready for the next adventure!
Raphaelle and Muhammed were a pleasure to have on the land. They were more than capable and enthusiastic to carry out jobs and completing them perfectly. We had to travel for a few days and left the land and Suso in their care without any concerns or worries. The casita was left immaculate on their departure. Muhammed and Raphaelle are an

We really enjoyed our time with Debbie and Vic (and Suso the cat), they are very kind and welcoming!
The casita was beautifully organised with everything you'd need. Debbie gave clear instruction about any task and also wanted to make sure we enjoyed our time, offering info about the area and I (Raph) got to go to yoga with her which was really

Thank you for having us! :)

Laissé par l'hôte pour le workawayer (Atilio & Agostina)
Atilio and Augustina stayed with us for three weeks and were a great asset to the land. Although this was a new experience for them, working in this environment, both Atilio and Augustina were very enthusiastic and keen to learn. Some of the work they carried out included digging and clearing acequias, composting fruit trees, helping to burn tree
… read more cuttings and general land maintainence. They intgrated well into life on the land and enjoyed social activities on and off the land in the local village. They kept the casita clean and tidy and made sure Suso had plenty of care and attention. Augustina and Atilio are a very happy, positive, capable couple and it was a pleasure to have their company and help. I would highly recommend them to the workaway community.
Atilio y Agustina han estado tres semanas con nosotros y han sido de gran ayuda. Aunque el trabajo fuera una experiencia nueva para ellos, ambos estaban siempre dispuestos para aprender y ayudar. Su trabajo consistió principalmente en cavar y limpiar acequias, abonar frutales, ayudar en la quema de la poda y mantenimiento general. Se integraron muy bien en la vida de la casa y disfrutaron de la vida social del pueblo. Mantuvieron la casita limpia y ordenada y cuidaron muy bien de Suso.
Son una pareja feliz, positiva y muy capacitada para este trabajo y su compañía y ayuda fue un placer. Les recomiendo muy positivamente para la comunidad workaway.

Estuvimos en casa de Debbie durante 3 semanas, fue una experiencia simplemente increíble. Desde el momento en que llegamos, nos sentimos bienvenidos y como en casa. Debbie es una anfitriona excepcional, siempre haciendo todo lo posible para asegurarse de que estuvieramos cómodos y tuvieramos todo lo que necesitabamos. Además, el ritmo de trabajo
… read more era muy tranquilo, lo que nos permitió tener mucho tiempo libre para recorrer el pueblo de Órgiva y disfrutar de sus encantos. El trabajo en sí fue variado e interesante, y aprendimos mucho sobre el estilo de vida sostenible y la jardinería. En nuestro tiempo libre, exploramos la zona circundante y quedamos impresionado por la belleza natural. También tuvimos una clase de cerámica con Vic, un gran maestro, fue una experiencia increíble. A pesar de no tener experiencia previa, él fue muy profesional y nos guió de manera experta para que pudiéramos obtener nuestra primera pieza de cerámica. Su enfoque claro y habilidades pedagógicas nos permitieron aprender con facilidad y disfrutar del proceso creativo. Sin duda, fue una clase inolvidable y altamente recomendable para cualquier persona interesada en la cerámica.
Tanto Debbie como Vic nos integraron en sus actividades personales como yoga y eventos de artes, y nos dieron la oportunidad de conocer a sus amigos. En apenas un par de horas de conocernos, nos sentimos parte de su entorno.
No podemos pasar por alto que en la casa estaba Suso (un gato) y Brand (un perro), muy cariñosos que sin duda fueron los compañeros perfectos durante nuestra estadía. No solo eran simpáticos y juguetones, sino que también tenían una presencia cálida y acogedora.
Recomendaríamos encarecidamente la casa de Debbie a cualquiera que busque una experiencia de Workaway significativa y gratificante.
¡Gracias, Debbie, Vic, Brand y Suso por una experiencia inolvidable!

We stayed at Debbie's house for 3 weeks, it was just an amazing experience. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcome and at home. Debbie is an exceptional host, always going out of her way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. In addition, the pace of the work was very relaxed, allowing us plenty of free time to explore the town of Órgiva and enjoy its charms. The work itself was varied and interesting, and we learned a lot about sustainable living and gardening. In our free time, we explored the surrounding area and were impressed by the natural beauty. We also had a pottery class with Vic, a great teacher, which was an amazing experience. Despite having no previous experience, he was very professional and guided us expertly so that we could get our first piece of pottery. His clear approach and pedagogical skills allowed us to learn with ease and enjoy the creative process. It was definitely an unforgettable lesson and highly recommended for anyone interested in ceramics.
Both Debbie and Vic integrated us into their personal activities such as yoga and arts events, and gave us the opportunity to meet their friends. Within just a couple of hours of getting to know each other, we felt part of their circle.
We can't overlook the fact that in the house there was Suso (a cat) and Brand (a dog), very affectionate and without a doubt the perfect companions during our stay. Not only were they friendly and playful, but they also had a warm and welcoming presence.
We would highly recommend Debbie's house to anyone looking for a meaningful and rewarding Workaway experience.

Laissé par l'hôte pour le workawayer (Celina & Raul)
I left my land in the capable hands of Raul for the summer. He took good care of my animals and land throughout the hot summer days! It was reassuring to know that Raul and Celina were watching over everything. Raul kept in touch regularity and sent photographs. Thank you for taking care of my place and maybe we will meet again.

Adam was a great asset on the land and from the very start was keen to help out and immediately befriended our big dog Bran (taking him for a walk every morning) and Suso the cat.

I had been traveling through Europe's big cities for two weeks before I stayed with Debbie and Vic in Orgiva. I lived on their land for two weeks in a small solar and gas-powered home (casita).
Debbie was communicative, friendly, accommodating and a great joy to spend time with. I felt at home instantly. Debbie drove me into town and to some of

Vic made fantastic Paella and gave me a pottery lesson. I left with two ceramic bowls that were my own creation.
Highlights from this trip included:
-Befriending Debbie & Vic (I feel like I could be welcome back at any time)
-Hiking through Las Alpujarras
-Large Thursday markets
-Going out to a local concert with Debbie, Vic and their friends
-Morning walks with their dog Bran
-Lounging on the patio with their cat Shoshu

Rob and Sue arrived at one of the hottest times of the year and still managed to complete many jobs around the land and looked after our animals with love and affection.

Debbie & Vic were incredibly welcoming and during our stay provided us with some lovely meals including gazpacho and on our last night paella. The accommodation was very comfortable and well equipped. Susho the cat stayed with us on the veranda most of the time we were there and did in the end on Sue's lap! Big beautiful Bran is such a lovely dog,

Our role was mainly house-sit/pet care and only part Workaway, Debbie was very clear with what she wanted done and also was great at letting you choose what you did and was quite relaxed, as it was very hot!
We loved the whole experience, loved meeting Debbie & Vic and hopefully one day we will see them again. Love to Bran :).Vous pouvez seulement contacter les workawayers avec une adhésion active.
