🏠 Accommodation on site
Accommodation: you will be staying with families. The English we have is medium. One room for each volunteer. We have a maximum of 2 volunteers per period. We usually host volunteers with families for two weeks and then, if the volunteer and the family agree, we can extend the deadline.
🍲 Food
Regarding meals, the family usually gives total freedom so that the volunteers are self-managed in their preparation. But we are the ones who provide the products, from the garden or the store. They do not have to pay anything, of course.

The village is small but has a Cultural Center with Library and computers, sports center with gym, activities and summer pool, and buses to Madrid daily every hour or hour and a half.
