Help
We are blessed with a beautiful and wild land "Vale de Meios", a forest of cork oak trees, a peaceful place.
We are grateful for support related with building with wood and earth, planting and gardening.
At the moment we are building a small house, a dry toilet and shower.
We need extra hands with energy and strength to work, for 4 hours a day, 3 days a week. No special skills are requested, but a taste for physical work in a natural surrounding is important.

Accommodation
At the moment we provide dry toilet, hot shower and a tent with bedding. We have space for caravans.
Please note that the nearest village is Sonega, and its 2 km away from our land (15 to 20 min walk).
What else ...
This region, Alentejo, is still very simple and beautiful. It has small fishermen villages (Vila Nova de Milfontes, Porto Covo, Zambujeira do mar), it offers beautiful walks along the cliffs or inside along the river (it is worth to know Rota Vicentina’s network). The beaches are amazing, from sandy to rocky there are several different landscapes to explore and ocean sports to experiment (surf, bodyboarding, fishing).
Local public transportation services are no great, so it is important to have a car or to be ready to cycle. We can offer several rides, but can't garantee a transport daily.
