Resumo: Volunteer will have his/her residence in the city center, though the main activities are developed in rural areas around the city where volunteer will be in contact with the rural young and the project beneficiaries in a natural environment.
Close to the city the place where we develop, the principal project about organic farming. We are far enough from the industrialised areas to avoid pollution to and to enjoy a blue sky. Sunrise and nightfall regularly offer a amazing show, and the energy and peacefull we can feel in this place are quite special.
The old town is located behind the river, partly enclosed at one end by the remains of the medieval ramparts. The city has a great cultural heritage and historical buildings to visit. Here, the volunteer can easily find remote places, to enjoy the peace, but some business and leisure areas too.

An equally important part in our culture is the street life, festivals, and partying, of which you can enjoy throughout the year. The volunteer will also discover the gastronomy, and its typical "tapas" that are found in most of the bars.
Furthermore, regarding the EVS, the Association will provide opportunities to volunteers in order to integrate themselves into the local community, meet other young people, socialize, participate in leisure activities, etc., also to facilitate contact between voluntaries from the EVS when possible.

Accommodation will be provided to any volunteer in a rented apartment, as well as adequate food (or money for it) even during holiday time. Local transport will be accessible for volunteers and they will be provided with pocket money weekly or monthly.

Perfil: We are willing to work with every kind of sending organisation.
The volunteer should be interested in the project and show this through his/her motivated work and support.

A public vacancy for the volunteer positions available will be published through the main web site for Youth in Action programme and the SALTO-Youth.
