  Descripción

  Hey all, we are a small regenerative ecological project started 5 years ago in the amazing hills of South West Alentejo that holds the vision of regeneration the land and its people. We wish to restore the land, be an inspiration to others and create a thriving next step for the future generations.
  Me and my husband are living here and in the years to come we would like to grow into a small community of about 5 people living here and taking care of the land all together.
  In these first 5 years so much has happened already and so many people have been contributing their love, energy and expertise.
  Today our days are filled with taking care of the two sintropical agroforest area's and the reforestation lines, creating water landscape retention area's, finishing the building works on the ruïne, tyding up after two years of building work, maintaining and finishing our integrated rainwater system, planning and building for some stone work to happen on the land and much more. We are also holding quiet time as precious and have community meals, circles and ceremonies.
  We are not a business, we are a non private project and the vision is one of regenerated landscapes and peoples.
  
  We very often have people staying and working with us, which is a great joy.
  
  In the months and year to come we would love to invite specifically people with pruning skills, sintropical agroforestry skills, permaculturists, a carpenter and stone-workers.
  
  Very welcome to have a chat with you if you are interested!

  Algo más...

  Staying at Retumbana Velha will be working and being with us on the land and some free time to spend on your own, or if we have more work awayers you can spent time together.
  
  In your free time you can enjoy the land, go for walks, take one of our bikes and explore the two local villages at about half an hour cycling and a bit further there is the amazing Alentejo coast line, good for days on the beach, walking the cliffs, have a good fish meal, or just hanging around to enjoy the beauty there. Also the Fishermans trail is not that far from us, if you'd like to go for the weekend and have an amazing walk.
  
  Transport wise our nearest train station is Funcheira, which is a 20 minutes drive from Retumbana Velha. The nearby village has some busses though it's good to know public transport is not nearby nor very often.
  We are happy to take you with us when we go and visit a local market at times in the weekends, or at times go for a drink in the local restaurant.
  Bring some of the things you want with you for your free time, for your evenings. Sometimes it can be very beautiful quiet here, with amazing star nights, when there is not many people. Sometimes it's very lovely busy when we have a bigger group. Be prepared for both possibilities.
