EYA – No Hell Bellow Us

Jódar is a village located close to Jaén. The main economic activity is agriculture and it is surrounded by the Natural Park of Sierra Magina which is a natural area with the high-quality landscape, pure and nearly virgin. Volunteers will have excellent possibilities to visit Cordoba/Granada or Seville and other spots like Jaén (Arabic baths and cathedral), Ubeda and Baeza. There is also a chance of doing a hiking route through the Serrezuela and the Sierra Magina and even to have a parapente experience in Pegalajar.

In a workcamp we also dedicate some time to a study part. It is an activity of non-formal learning, where you can gain new knowledge or form new opinions on different problems all this is done in a relaxed and entertaining way.

The intercultural evening is a good way of intercultural learning. In every camp there is one evening, when all participants present their country in a relaxed way, making presentation, watching photos, telling stories, tasting typical dishes, drinks and sweets, dances etc. Please, have this evening in your mind while preparing your luggage to share a piece of your culture with the rest of volunteers.

The volunteers will have access to the local swimming pool of the town and will be able to enjoy their free times in the poolside.

As the local transportation is not very well connected, it is not easy to organize some trips to the big cities but depending on the volunteers, it could be possible to organize some trips to Málaga, Sevilla or Granada in the weekends. Keep in mind that De Amicitia is not financing your leisure time activities.
