We are part of an association that bought 36 hectares in the Serra Monchique.
Within the 36ha, groups have turned to individual areas in order to shape them individually according to their needs and to live together in good neighbourhood.
We David, Gunda and our daughter Matilda are creating infrastructure and living space. Since we started at 0 the living conditions are still very basic. We ourselves are still living in caravans at the moment. Our goal is to build a mud house. But before that there are still some things to do...
The property is located in a beautiful and remote area. It is about 5 km to the country road. There is a river and a small lake on the property.
