If you are a hiking lover, you certainly will love to walk in this area...

Help
I need help for 2 different projects:
* Helping to clean and maintain some paths in our mountains. - This project I need urgent help in March and April!
This task involves walking around 5 to 12 kms in a day, in mountainous terrain, with the aim of collecting rubbish and cutting back any vegetation that might be blocking the way.
The walks will take place on different days and will give you the opportunity to get to know part of our beautiful Geres National Park.
* Weaving project
The weaving project is a projects of the association Mater Minho of which I am a member, in Arcos de Valdevez.
This project is opened for the local community to recover and develop the handcrafts tradition in this area, like weaving, bordering, basketry and others.
We're hoping to move to a new location soon and then it will be fantastic to have extra help to reorganise the new location.
We have another project that we are still working on it to be devolved asap: We want to recover and develop the wool of our sheep so we can use it for weaving.
This is a very beautiful region and we are sure you will love it ;)

I won't always be able to offer work for volunteering, but there's always the possibility of spending a few days here in a fair exchange, like giving a donation to cover expenses.
I'd be delighted to welcome you as a volunteer or guest
But I can receive you as a guest. What I can offer at the moment beside the weaving training and material you can use to weave something for your self. I can provide accommodation in a private room and we can share food but I would ask for you to contribute financially to cover expenses. (conscience donation)
There is so much to see around...
Nearby you can swim in the river and walk in the ecovia or in the mountains
If you need more information feel free to write and ask!
Love
Tita
