    Travellers could practise the English and German language, also see how to live in a organic farm in the country side with Solar Energy PV, Solar Thermal Energy and water irrigation system from our own dam for gardening and daylife use. We have just finished an antiseptic tank to clean grey water with plants and using the water again for the trees. The next portuguese village is ca. 2 km away. You can meet also a lot of surfers in several beaches, like Zavial, Amado or Casteleijo (all ca. 6 -10 km away from us), also Lagos and Sagres are closed by (ca. 20 minutes driving), a big Yoga and music scene is close by too. We have a car to give a away too (under certain conditions)

    What else ...

    I run a small solar company since 23 years in the South of Portugal. We are taking care for 7 hectar land with a dam of 3 Mio Liters of water. We got chicken and cheep. Our goal is to develop the land and especially the organic garden and to plant more trees if there is enough rain this winter.
    I am always happy to receive some know how regarding gardening, I am still a newcomer. There are also many other things to do, like painting, building, repairing, and not to forget a good live in the nature ....
