Description
Hello,
My name is Alexandre. I am living in a small village in the north of Portugal close to the border with Galicia.
I decided to move here 4 years ago for the quality of life, No traffic jam, no industries , just nature
My aim is to grow vegetables and sell them at the local weekly market.
I love to meet new people and make friends, I volunteer in South America and other countries before to come in Portugal.
I started to plant fruit trees and make HügelkulturTypes of help and learning opportunities
GardeningGeneral MaintenanceCultural exchange and learning opportunities
You can learn about construction and gardening it is also social experience , sharing moments and learn together, i like to show the spots around to the volunteers for swimming, biking and hiking when I have time to do it
The village is very quite, only 60 persons are living here, there is a café but there is no supermarket it is better to have a car to move around
Porto is the closest city you can reach eather by train or bus only 0.50 minutes
In Vila Nova de Cerveira, you have a swimming pool, supermarket, arts events in summer, and festivalsHelp
I need general help with the vegetable garden (Hügelkultur) and set up a greenhouse , plastering stone walls, making a spiral with random stones for aromatic plants,
