    Description

    Here at the quinta we aim to be inclusive as well as supporting individual creativity, this in combination with the basics that are to be expected in a naturally independent off grid situation, gardening, maintenance, reforestation and the such.
    At the moment we are four people, already each with a unique set of skills, we are confident that you will add to it.

  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    People when traveling take themselves with them, and enable free flow of knowledge. It creates a flow of information and knowledge amplified by modern platforms such as this one. And in this space, we can all learn and share.

    Here we are aware of this, and try to be a part. We are involved with other sociology-cultural and nature based projects!

  • Help

    Help

    There is a constant flow of ideas and projects, we are looking for enthusiastic people that are wanting to involve themselves and share their knowledge as well as learn.
    Additional to that, there are the usual suspects such as maintaining the garden/land and all round working on self sufficiency, and walking the snails ;)

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    We live near the idyllic place "Sao Marcos da Serra" in the middle of nature and without direct neighbors. Nevertheless, it is not far to IC 1, a street that connects you very centrally. It is 40 km to Albufeira beach and the city of Aljezur, for example on the west coast, can be reached in about an hour.

    Also plenty of local happenings such as markets and bailes.
