Description
We are a family with four children (ages 10, 12, 14, and 18) living on a beautiful 4.5-hectare finca nestled between Lanjarón and Órgiva, in the heart of the Alpujarras.
Our land is home to olive, almond, kaki, and fig trees, a spring-fed alberca (natural pool), and wide-open views that make you forget what day it is (in the best possible way). We live simply and close to nature, in low-impact dwellings such as yurts, wooden huts, bell tents, caravans, and campers.
Winter here is quiet, slow, and intimate — a contrast to the rest of the year when retreats and visitors bring more movement. This makes our place especially suited to someone (or a couple) seeking stillness, nature, and a genuine digital detox.
🌱 What We’re Looking For
We’re happy to welcome responsible, self-sufficient individuals who resonate with conscious, land-based living and enjoy contributing in practical ways.
Help is mainly needed with:
-Land maintenance and care of olive trees
-Odd jobs and general upkeep
-Carpentry and hands-on projects
-Support with family organisation
⏰ Hours & Exchange
-15 hours per week in exchange for accommodation
-Volunteers provide their own food
-We offer a weekly trip to town for shopping
👉 Alternative option:

Accommodation
yurt, cabin or caravan depending on availability
What else ...
We usually only go out once a week to the local market in Orgiva, and the two closest towns of Orgiva and Lanjaron are about 1-1.5 hours walking distance away. It is fairly easy to hitchike. Free days can be used to explore the neighbouring mountains (our land lies beneath the GR7 walking path), take a trip to Granada (1 hour bus ride) or the beach (1 hour car journey). There are also a few communities in the area and many interesting people.
