    Description

    A Quinta in Portugal, nestled in the rolling hills of the Serra de Monchique.
    The vibe: care for the land, building, Flora and Fauna , creating a good living space for people.
    Natural buildings, Garden growth, Art and Creativity, quiet and loud, Veggies and Fruit Trees .

    I am Ina, living on this beautiful land for around 4 years now. The land itself has a lot to discover. Here is fruit trees , a native forest and a little lake. An older house to rebuild and some structure around. Besides that, Marmelete, a little cute town, is about 5km away. There are some cafes and restaurants as well as a little grocery shop. Everyone there is super friendly and its just a vibe. Aljezur, is about 10km away.

    If you come without a car, we can share rides, in case. There is also a nice path to walk and mountain bike to town.

    The tasks on the land will be
    Land Maintaining
    Natural buildings
    Veggie Garden set up

    Longterm stay is great, minimum 2 weeks possible :)

    Beside the work on the land here, there is the opportunity supporting to decrease the Pine and Eucalyptus seedlings which coming up in the native forests. Supporting the area of Marmelete and its surroundings to bring more and more back the native forest and a biodiversity by joining other people with their land care.
