Like many European countries, Spain’s economy is currently struggling to remain afloat, only increasing the need for able and willing volunteers. Yet the economic downturn has not dimmed the Spanish splendor of the plazas or the spirited and tangible pulse of community life. Volunteering in Spain will therefore not only give you a rewarding and educational challenge, it will also give you open access to all the most enchanting aspects of Spain: the lush countryside, the impassioned flamenco dancers, the cram-packed tapas bars, and, most importantly, the fresh, sugary churros and hot chocolate.
