  • Descrição

    Descrição

    We’re 3 British-German siblings who are renovating a rural house which will soon be a small, cosy hostel on the Camino de Santiago.

    We have a big garden, that we'd love to make into a herbal medicine and permaculture space.

    We have a lovely network of friends and neighbours and would add you to a couple of groups so you can attend social meetups and events in the area. It’s a very diverse and international group, and there are some other Workaway projects nearby who also host volunteers who you can connect with.

    As the house is on the Portuguese Camino de Santiago, there are hundreds of pilgrims passing every week just 100 metres from the property.

  • Ajuda

    Ajuda

    We are looking for help in the garden, which is a jungle at the moment! At least half the work is maintenance, like cutting back overgrown areas and invasive plants, but you will also have the chance to get creative if you'd like to shape or plant out an area.

    Some basic gardening experience is useful (let us know about this in your reply) and if you have permaculture knowledge and experience that's extra welcome! We'd love to make a plan and start putting it into practice.

    Food

    As it's only 2 hours of work a day, we can't provide any food. This means that it's essential to have your own vehicle to go shopping! We also prefer to do our own cooking as we have quite specific dietary requirements, but are up for coordinating times to eat and socialise together!

    Other amenities

    You're welcome to use the communal space, bathrooms, outdoor kitchen and big garden. There's a cold water plunge pool and a nice hammock waiting for you too!
