• Volunteers will work from Monday to Friday in the morning (approximately between 8am -1pm), and depending on the weather conditions work during the week will combine both water and coastal activities.
• For the rest of the day, volunteers will have time to relax and go to the beach, join our cultural activities, explore the city, practice sports and go for tapas.
