Where is Galicia? ๐บ๏ธ๐ช๐ธ
Galicia is an autonomous community in northwestern Spain, comprising the provinces of A Coruรฑa, Lugo, Ourense and Pontevedra. Galician (galego) and Spanish are both official languages. The region is also closely associated with the Camino de Santiago, although volunteering opportunities are not necessarily connected with the pilgrimage.
Volunteering and work exchanges in Galicia
Depending on the host, activities may involve gardening, restoring rural properties, animal care, farming, hospitality or practical help around the home. Some opportunities are informal work exchanges where accommodation and meals are provided in return for an agreed amount of help.
Rural locations can require additional travel arrangements, particularly where buses and trains are limited. Ask the host about the nearest station, transport to the property and whether you will need your own vehicle.
