Description
We are 4 humans, 3 dogs and 2 horses living on a beautiful piece of land in the south of Portugal. There is a little stream in the valley bottom that flows in the winter, many cork oaks, pine trees and from the top of the land you can see the sea. Since two years we are planting trees, setting up a little garden (supposed to grow bigger), implementing a water retention system - doing everything to create a little oasis.

We often have a shared dinner, that one of us is cooking. During the day we normally prepare our food individually.
What else ...
We are living in the middle of nowhere. Aljezur is about 10 km away, Lagos 20 km. To the main road it's 5 km. To the sea it's also about 10 km. Nothing really far, but a bit far to walk.... There is a bicycle that you could borrow.
We like to be 'at home', take care of the animals and the land.
