Creating arty geeky musical community near Aljezur, Portugal

Details

• 

  Description

  We live 5 km walking from some awesome beaches in South West Portugal.
  
  Creating an arty geeky musical community on 2,5 hectare in a natural park. Plenty of things to help with, e.g.
  - fixing small things in and around the house
  - keeping the place clean and organized
  - playing with the kids
  - gardening
  - making trails
  - cooking (mostly vegan)
  - make art from scrap metal
  - geek out on Hitchwiki and other sites
  - no solarpunk here yet, but very interested
  
  Anything between 1 and 4 people.
  - Kids are around about half the time.
  - There's plenty of space for vans.
  - We often have guests, also thru other platforms (one of which I founded).
  
  It's 10 km to town with a big supermarkets and other stores, if I'm going somewhere I'm happy to give you a ride. It's also super easy to hitchhike in this area. Lagos is about 25 minutes away by car.
  
  There are several bicycles that you can use to get around.
  Town would be a bit far but on Wednesdays there's a nice local place to get veggies and more. Nearest supermarket by bicycle would be 7 km.
  
  Last minute and shorter periods such as one week are easier to organize right now but looking to do longer residencies for artists, musicians, activists and geeks who work on free open source software.
