Food, Lodging and Travel
You will stay along with the other volunteers in dormitory-style rooms. Private rooms are available at your accommodation as well for an extra cost. Each room has an electronic key, so the rooms are secured and each volunteer has their own lock box for storing valuables.
There are common areas such as dining room/restaurant, living room, an outside area perfect for relaxing and socialising mornings, afternoons or evenings.
Located in a quiet neighbourhood, it’s just 45 minutes away from the centre and the airport is 6 km away. Close by, volunteers can find everything one might need: local coffee shops, supermarkets, ATMs, pharmacies and other utilities. The hostel offers laundry service too.
We provide two meals a day cooked by local chefs: breakfast and dinner. The food is always fresh and local. This way, volunteers will have the chance to taste a good-quality, wide variety of traditional Catalan and Spanish meals. If you have any dietary restrictions or special diet, please let us know as soon as possible so we can be prepared to provide appropriate meals for you.
Volunteer Requirements
Volunteers joining the Marine Conservation Project must be 18 years or older and should be fit and physically prepared to work in open environments, and also able to swim. A basic level of Spanish is also useful but not necessary. Volunteers should also be flexible, self-motivated, and willing to work in often hot outdoor conditions. Due to the weather conditions and project schedule the activities may vary from week to week, but will be a combination of the listed activities in the Project section. We are also able to accept large groups and families with children for this project, please let us know if you are interested in coming to volunteer as a family or group!
