Description
We are a family (Portuguese & German couple with three kids (13, 6, and 3 years old) living on a small Farmland right at the St. James Way (Camino de Santiago).
The next town, 6km away from us, is Valença do Minho. We are also only half an hour away from several beaches, which you could visit in your free time. In Valença there is a direct connection (by train or by bus) to Porto.
We did the Permaculture Design for the land and we have our vegetable garden. There is our dog, Lua, 12 chickens, and 2 ducks and we aim to have a couple of sheep.
