About the activity

Near Santiago de Compostela, a 12th‑century monastery opens its gardens to volunteers. You'll spend a day planting, weeding, and harvesting vegetables and herbs used in the monastery's kitchen. The work is followed by a simple vegetarian lunch and a guided tour of the cloisters. A peaceful rural immersion.

A unique way to disconnect. The work in the gardens was rewarding, and the tour of the cloisters was fascinating. Highly recommend.
