Be the Voice for the Voiceless in the Heart of Spain

Hosted by Santuario Vegan | Madrid, Spain

Santuario Vegan provides a permanent home to over 300 animals saved from the livestock industry. Located in the beautiful Spanish countryside near Madrid, the sanctuary depends on dedicated volunteers to maintain the property and care for residents ranging from massive oxen to tiny chicks. This is a powerful immersion into the reality of animal activism.
