Ibiza
Do you cater for people with disabilities?
We can offer step free access to the main public area at Casita Verde, which includes the eating and toilet areas. If you are thinking of visiting us and have any questions please call or email us and we'll discuss the requirements you have.
I thought Ibiza was a non-stop party and drug island?
Ibiza does have a well-deserved reputation as a party island, with thousands of tourists visiting every year to dance until dawn. But there is another side to the island, away from the coastal resorts, where there is lush greenery, beautiful country walks & bike tracks and exquisite traditional Spanish hill-top villages.
What are the seasonal temperatures?

Can I bring my dog with me when I visit?

Please Contact Us if you'd like to bring your school or college on a visit.
Why have you stopped volunteering, workshops and open Sundays at Casita Verde Ibiza?
There are a number of reasons:
Granada
What medical facilities are close to Casita Verde?
The main medical centres are in Granada city, which is about 40km from us.
Can I bring friends to sleep over?
What we try to create is an environment where you fit in quickly and immediately feel a part of our community. That becomes harder when we have ad-hoc visitors, so we prefer to politely say no.
What if I have a food allergy or intolerance?
Since we are living in a community we all share the same food at mealtimes, so it's important to know in advance if you have a food intolerance. We follow a healthy plant based diet, but we do eat nuts and seeds and some of our recipes contain gluten. Please discuss your intolerance with us BEFORE you come.
I'm looking for a vacation/holiday. Is that a problem?
Yes, we're a working community and all our volunteers enjoy contributing their time and energy to the group and working on different projects. If you are looking for a 'lie-by-the-pool' holiday, you're probably looking to go somewhere else.
Can I bring my partner?
We do have couples as volunteers and have dormitory style accommodation facilties for you. Please let us know what you have in mind.
Can I bring meat or fish to eat at Casita Verde?
No, we have no meat or fish on any of the Casita Verde premises.
Do you have a washing machine and dryer?
No, we don't have a washing machine at the centre, but use the facilities at our linked hostel in Granada when we visit there each Wednesday. Please bring enough clothes for a week, at least.
What's the food like?
Outstanding - we're committed to showing how good and nutritious vegan food can be. We've even written a recipe book with our most popular recipes, which is now available free on our website.
Do you have wi-fi?
Our centre in Granada is in quite a remote location so our wi-fi connection comes from the mobile network, which itself is not too strong. We recommend that you have a data connection enabled on your smartphone with an adequate data plan for the duration of your stay.
Can I bring or buy my own food while I'm there?
We would prefer you limit any food you bring. What we prepare for breakfast and lunch is nutritious and delicious and we ask that you share that rather than preparing your own meals. We don't usually cook dinner (because everyone seems to have different dinner requirements) and you are welcome to make something from what's available in the kitchen.
Can I drink the water?
The water from the tap comes from the rainwater collection system and so is not filtered. We do have drinking water available from a tap in the kitchen.
Does the accommodation have heating?
Yes, we have wood burning stoves in the property.
Do you cater for a vegetarian or vegan diet?
We eat a plant based diet, which may be supplemented with some eggs, cheese and honey if you eat them. We don't allow fish or meat on the premises.
What are the seasonal temperatures in Granada?
Granada has a slightly continental climate with moderately cold winters and hot, sunny summers, where the temperature is often above 30 degrees. The daily temperature range is often remarkable - in the summer dropping to 12 to 17 degrees at night. In December and January the temperature can drop to close to freezing at night.
General Information
Do I need medical and/or travel insurance?
Yes, please ensure that you've got adequate insurance to cover yourself in the event of an illness or accident.
Am I able to bring a pet dog with me to workshops or when I'm volunteering?
Unfortunately not - we can't cater for animals at Casita Verde and ask that you don't bring any with you.
Do you run the European Erasmus+ course?
We are no longer involved with the Erasmus+ program.
Are you a WWOOF centre?
WWOOF is the organisation offering Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms. We are not part of their program. If you would prefer to volunteer at a WWOOF centre follow the link to their website here.
Can I still volunteer, or come to a workshop, after Brexit?
With the UK leaving the EU at some point in the future, and depending on whether the UK has a deal in place for its exit or not, the circumstances for UK passport holders travelling to EU countries may change.
Can I set up my own Casita Verde?
Yes, you can and we have former volunteers who have set up their own Casita Verde; for example, the new centre in Granada.
Can I do Workaway with Casita Verde?
We're not a workaway centre unfortunately and don't feature on their website. There are lots of workaway opportunities in the Balearics and in Spain, which might be of interest.
Why do you eat a plant based diet?
We find that a plant based diet is healthy and gives you all the necessary nutrients your body needs. The animal and environmental benefits are clear, of course, but ours is more a belief in the health advantages of avoiding animal and fish products.
