🏢 About the local organisation
Municipality of Altea. De Amicitia is successfully cooperating with them for many years.
They are hosting groups of our volunteers during summertime, and this year we are starting the first workcamp already in March.
💼 What the programme involves
Work has an environmental character. The municipality will ask volunteers to do other types of manual work for the environment, depending on the necessities of the municipality in a certain
moment. The group may work with people of the local area. Tools and working boots will be available. One of the tasks could be to help on archaeological excavation site, depending on working permissions.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Accommodation will be in a refuge, in a simple summer house (antiguo matadero) in Cap Negret in Altea, where workcamps are taking place. Volunteers will buy the food at a local CO-OP supermarket using coupons from the Town Hall and cook for themselves on a gas cooker. Volunteers will sleep on bunk beds. Please bring a sleeping bag.
📍 About the location
Altea is a town and municipality located in the province of Alicante, Spain, north of Benidorm on the section of Mediterranean Coast called the Costa Blanca. Altea is a nice little town which offers amazing views. The town is located in the seaside and offers possibilities of riding bicycles, take a sunbath on the beach, climb the mountains, have a trip to the lighthouse and other activities during your free time. It is also possible to see other towns at the weekend. At present, the economy of Altea is based on tourism, which started to grow in the 1950s because of its good weather, beaches and the labyrinthine streets with whitewashed house-fronts that characterize the town.
⚠️ Requirements
Motivated and flexible volunteers. It would be a bonus if volunteers could speak a little Spanish but its is not essential.
