  Description

  We are Hans & Irene (Dutch) and lived for 25 years on the Silver Coast near Fig da Foz, running a campsite. October last year (2023) we moved to our "Back to Basic" House on the edge of a small village in the middle of the National parque of Peneda Geres. As quiet as quiet can be. Centrally located in a scenic lush river valley with huge garden & great views.
  
  We want to improve our house, artist studio and garden and build a woodshed. The upper floor is made into a workshop for printing, sewing (industrial machine) and goldsmithing. At the moment i experience with Linocuts & Screen Print technics.
