Description
It is a small piece of land near Burgau, on the beautiful southern coast of the Algarve in Portugal.
The nature here is powerful – wild and at the same time peaceful. The air is often filled with the scent of salt, sunshine, and Mediterranean plants, and the view stretches across gentle yet rugged hills. We especially love the closeness to nature here, the ocean and the feeling of freedom in this place.
The land, formerly used for conventional agriculture, was neglected for a long time – full of waste and affected by pesticides. In recent years, we have cleaned it up and begun to revitalize this small piece of land, planting many trees and caring for them lovingly.
It’s beautiful to see how nature grows, how the trees become stronger, and how biodiversity begins to flourish.
We are Ana and Clea. Friends, mother, daughter and warmhearted people who love working with their hands in the soil. We believe there is anything more meaningful than planting trees and making closeness to nature accessible to people of all ages. As experiential outdoor educators, we repeatedly witness how healing time in nature can be, and our vision is to build a small, sustainable, and experiential outdoor education project.
Much has already been built, planted, and shaped on the Quinta. Now we feel ready to welcome people here. Even though the project is still developing, we would like to do tasks together with helping hands to further develop the infrastructure so that this place can be maintained and brought to life in the long term.
