  We prefer to host couples or travel buddies as it could be lonely when you are on your own. We are closed to clients from 1 November to 1 April each year.
  
  We are a British couple living in southern Spain, near Alhama de Granada. We enjoy the outdoor activities and are developing a garden for pollinators for our bees to thrive. We are looking for people to help us with planting, clearing weeds in some areas, a little bit of building and enjoy the environmental activities. My husband Lawrence will work alongside with you, as experince is not necessary. In March & April we do lots of planting and in October we´ll include harvesting olives in our schedule and planting the garden for pollinators, in Spring we´ll plant wild flowers and work with the bee hives. Learning about the bees is wonderful. I am sure you'll like it.
  
  Ideally volunteers should have some building knowledge or disposition to learn. Strong physical condition as we are working outdoors. Work is during the mornings. For large projects we always hire local tradespeople, volunteers are expected to join the learning process and leave with new skills.
  
  Our nearest town, Alhama de Granada, has lots of history and you can enjoy traditional town life. It is just beautiful.
  
  We are part of an environmental activities group and there will be the opportunity to meet other similar minded people.
  
  We live in the countryside with two dogs, one cat, lots of birds, bee hives and the wildlife around us is thriving.
  
  We can offer you an en-suite bedroom, three vegetarian/vegan meals and a place to relax and recharge your batteries.
  
  We would expect workaway open minded people to apply. Non smokers and people happy to do gardening, building and physical work. We garden organic so no chemicals are used on the land and the work of managing the weeds is intensive.
  
  There is always healthy drinks and food at the table, plenty of fruits and cereal bars to keep you going and three lovingly cooked vegetarian/vegan meals every day.
  
  Volunteers must be NON smokers, and be aware that we are a drug free environment, no exceptions. Volunteers must be happy to work the great outdoors in an isolated location.
  
  We cannot issue letters of confirmation of volunteering for visa purposes. Volunteers must be able to participate while they are legally in Spain.
  
  So there you have it, if you like it, get in touch.
