  Beschreibung

  Creating a paradise in the beautiful mountains in the Algarve.
  
  Me and my best friend bought a abandoned and wild land in the middle of nature, but close to Aljezur and the best beaches of the west coast. Our dream is to transform this land into a divers and welcoming place, to share this with friends and to live in harmony with nature.
  
  We are ready to invite the first volenteers. We want to invite you to help us, alongside other like-minded people, to be part of the first steps of making the land livable. We will start building a - natural build - house, creating infrastructure like water systems, solar set-up and pathways, work in the forest to be more wildfire resistant and to bring back the native species and do landscaping and gardening tasks.
  
  We want to put everyone in their place of strength. We can share our permaculte knowledge, our skills in building and the process of buying a land and how to live 'off-grid'.

  We don't have any housing yet. We prefer people with a campervan or car & tent. In this fase of our project it might be nice to have to freedom of your own transportation.
  
  We will supply the ingredients, veggies to cook delicious meals. We figure out what will be the best way to organise. We share the 'responsibility' of cooking for each other.

  We will chat about the best plan, it will be depending on your needs, our needs and the time of the year. The most important is the right balance between being free and working. As the surrounding is crazy beautiful, the mountens of Monchique (30 mim drive), the south cost (30 min drive), Aljezur (15 min drive) and the best surf beaches (20 min drive) it's nescesarry to enjoy this also. The land is located in the forest, after a 5 min dirt road.
