I don't like being too lonely when I travel, so I'm all about getting involved in a good community. This place sounds great, since it is cheap, allows me to learn Spanish, and gives me some physical to keep me sharp but not so much that I couldn't do anything else. Was the internet good enough to get serious web work done? For me, that would be a priority. Looks like an awesome place, though. Would you say that the social life is pretty good?

So I can understand why you would be worried about the different types of food. I am glad that you are enjoying the type of work you are doing. Sometimes physical work can be pretty fun, especially if you are person who enjoys the outdoors and keeping in shape. Its great that you pare finding great people. Its also an added benefit that you are enjoying yourself and the cost is quite cheap. You are also helping out .. can’t go wrong with that. -Randy Food is something that we get use to, and it is very comforting to us.

Wouldn't mind sampling a bit of that type of volunteering too. What's the working language of the farm? Do most folks speak Spanish, will be great for your learning if that's the case.

This place sounds really good for $200 a month. Have you found other places to do work on the Internet, say on Granada?

It would be an awesome place though for anyone into art, writing or other stuff that doesn't rely on power or internet. Loads of chances to pick up Spanish. The locals who work here are super nice and also eager to learn English so we swap mini lessons at lunch. Mike it took me two days just to get this post online and I couldn't get photos to go. Plus one camera is broken and the other is missing the cord. But I will add photos when I can. LD I'm definitely not a hippy and not much of a do-gooder either really except I guess for recently. :-) I wonder if a place like this really wants massive amounts of exposure. They do need a steady stream of volunteers but they only have space for so many so loads of people knowing about it would just mean huge amounts of emails turning people away, I would guess. But for sure add it to your 'to visit' lists. It's an awesome place. Neale it’s pretty cool but the net connection seems to be crapping a bit more often out lately which sucks.

I just put it on my list of future travel destinations. I have known I wanted to do some kind of volunteer farming sometime and that looks like just the right place for me.
