    Description

    Hello,
    I'm Eric, a french man who traveled the world from the amazonas jungle to the high seas. Three years ago I walked the portuguese camino. At the very north of Portugal I passed an overgrown plot of land with an old mill on it and a river going close by. It was abandoned for over 60 years. I felt a strong energy coming from the land and I instantly fell in love. I completed the camino and then came back and bought the plot of land.


    ps:all the meal are included!
