Quinta das Abelhas
Póvoa de Midões, Tábua,
Portugal
 We are in the planning stages of setting up a Sustainable Living Project, on a beautiful 5 hectare quinta in Central Portugal.
The project will be a working example of community eco-living. We plan to run courses and workshops (renovation/eco-building, alternative energy, organic and permaculture gardening, natural horsemanship, music, etc.) plus volunteering opportunities and holidays in yurts and other low-impact dwellings.
