You will pursue the restoration of the outer walls that has already started two years ago. You will reinforce the damaged parts using traditional masonry techniques and rebuild the destroyed parts to promote the preservation of the heritage and to perpetuate the history of the village. Please note that you will have to work on scaffoldings. For two years now, international volunteers have been working side by side with locals for the safeguard of the Priory. The community is working on this throughout the year to achieve this common purpose and they are looking forward to the experience with you this year!
You will have a basic roofed accommodation including a kitchen and a living room, inside the former cloister with a beautiful view on the landscape. You will have to contribute to collective tasks such as cleaning and preparing food. The budget will be allocated to the group leader and you will participate in the preparation of meals using healthy and local products of high quality. Many good times with the locals will happen during your stay.
