Volunteer Programs in Spain | GoAbroad.com
Spanish cities both big and small offer quality volunteer placements that can, and will, make a difference in local communities. Each city in Spain has a unique landscape and cultural identity, making it extra intriguing to get lost, talk to the locals about what they’re most proud of, and uncover what each city’s unique characteristics are. Here are just a few of the top locations for volunteering in Spain:
Valencia is surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea as well as some incredible protected forests. This environment makes it especially suitable for volunteer projects revolving around conservation and ecology. During time off, volunteers can go for hikes, explore Ciudad de las Artes y Ciencias, or enjoy the famous Valencian paella!
Barcelona is a city that never sleeps, so there are plenty of activities to take advantage of day or night! Gaudi’s architecture is speckled throughout the neighborhoods and up to the hills of Park Guell. During the day, the city’s beaches are full of volleyball players, sunbathers, and sailors, while at night, the beach lights up with dance clubs that explode out into the sand. The best musicians in the world flock to Barcelona’s summer music festivals showcasing genres from electronic to indie rock to jazz and more!
Tenerife. Located in the Canary Islands, Tenerife is a big change from continental Spain. The island life moves at a much slower pace, and the city has a small town feel to it. Volunteers should expect to fall in love with the sea breeze, whale watching, and hikes scattered around the island.
Segovia is located in central Spain and is lucky enough to have the famous trail El Camino de Santiago pass through it. If volunteers are down for a walk around town, they can even follow this route for a few miles and have a truly existential experience! The Roman ruins and Segovia Cathedral are two of the many stunning architectural wonders volunteers can explore in this quaint Spanish city.
