    Description

    Hello, my name is Rodrigo. Currently, my wife, our family, and I are dedicated to restoring our grandparents' small old farm. We are transforming this quaint property into a rural accommodation. We embarked on this journey a year ago and now require assistance to expedite the process and complete it by the end of this year.

    We are searching for someone to help us with some painting. Are you up for this challenge?

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Here are three things you can do in Rio Maior, Portugal:

    1. Visit the Salt Pans (Salinas de Rio Maior): Rio Maior is famous for its salt pans, which have been in operation for centuries. You can take a guided tour to learn about the traditional salt harvesting process and the history of salt production in the region. It's a unique and educational experience.

    2. Explore the Aire and Candeeiros Hills, one could believe that their elevations at 577 and 613 metres, is a true kingdom of stone (calcareous) that totally stands out from the green farmlands that crouch around them. Because there are no water courses on the surface (the Arrimal lagoon is a true oasis in the landscape) the atmosphere is particularly dry and exotic in its shapes. Because there are many subterranean streams, there are many interesting caves. A special note to the Natural Monument of the Dinosaur's Footsteps as well.


    These are just a few of the enjoyable activities you can experience in Rio Maior. The town also offers beautiful natural surroundings for hiking and outdoor enthusiasts.
