  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  We are in a typical Spanish town with very little tourists. This is the perfect opportunity for those wanting to learn/practice Spanish. Also those that speak Spanish that would like to practise English. As most of our volunteers are native English speakers. Murcia city centre is 15 minutes by car and full of beautiful architecture.
  
  You will also learn basic animal care, how to clean, feed, look after the animal's. We are a rescue centre and often have the vets at least once per week. So the opportunity to observe veterinary treatments is also on offer.
  
  Although you will have a lot of free time as we only require 2 hours per day. Those that want to learn more grooming the horses, handling horse etc can be done in your free time. Fully training will be given on this from myself, Colin. To keep people and the horses the same.
  
  Not every Workaway will have the same physicality, ability , experience. But it is a physical role. We do try and tailor the tasks to individual people.
  You will be part of our team in the morning or evening, meeting our weekly volunteers. You will be giving a time table for the week, when you are needed. So you can plan your free time to make the most of your stay. Your free time you will probably be on your own, or socialising with any Motorhomes that are parked up. You will be surrounded by the animals, absolutely heaven for some people. But we are family and live on-site so easy to reach us at any point.
  
  There are beautiful walks and cycle routes around the area.

  Ajuda

  We ask anyone parking up or staying in the accommodation to volunteer 2 hours of their day. This is set out each day and tasks given. It depends how many weekly volunteers we have that day.
  The tasks are simple, however slightly physical. Mucking out stables, poo picking paddock, pushing wheelbarrows, lifting bales of hay, preparing and feeding the animals.
  You are either helping us out around sunrise for a couple of hours or at sunset.
  After your couple of hours it gives you all day to chill, explore the local area, do some online work if you're a digital nomad or, if you would like to help more there's always a project on the go!
