hi! I think is time to come back to my trip story:-) So we hitchhiked from Portugalete to Santiago de Compostela, basically to Luou. We did some voluntary work/service. Our hosts were Antonio and his wife Julia. We found them on http://www.helpx.net/. Here you have some information about this: HelpX is an online listing of host organic farms, non-organic farms, farmstays, homestays, ranches, lodges, B&Bs, backpackers hostels and even sailing boats who invite volunteer helpers to stay with them short-term in exchange for food and accommodation.
HelpX is provided primarily as a cultural exchange for working holiday makers who would like the opportunity during their travels abroad, to stay with local people and gain practical experience. In the typical arrangement, the helper works an average of 4 hours per day and receives free accommodation and meals for their efforts.
We have really nice experiance with this webpage, so if you want to soend some time on organic farm, ranches and not only place like that I really recommend this. It is really developed in France, Spain, Portugal and Italy so lucky you.
We helped Antonio and Julia with their new house during 10days They moved from Malaga to Luou becouse of better climate. Antonio is disabled so they needed somebody to help Julia with the garden, chickens etc. and sometimes to help her with Antonio. We worked 4-6 hours per day but we used to have a lot of breaks. We had afternoons free and two or three days out of work. We really enjoyed working there becouse it was really nice village with medieval church and charming, narrow streets:-)
