Description
Hello, we are a family living in a community style with other people from all over the world. We live 5 minutes from the Atlantic Ocean with several beaches within a 15-minute walk. We are also 5 minutes walking from the forest and right next to the Sintra mountain or Moon Mountain. It's a very magical area with beautiful people.
We're vegetarians and this place is free of tobacco, alcohol and other drugs.
Thank you for your attention and best wishes,

We are looking for motivated individuals or couples which help, in the renovation of our small community. Sanding, painting, flooring, as well as helping us to take CARE of our three children and help in the house chores. We are happy to receive people which are proactive or have a bit knowledge in construction or taking CARE of kids of small age (4, 5 and 6 years old). We propose 5h a day with meals included or 4h a day without meals.
The small community we are building is in Praia da Maças, a 5 minutes walk away from the atlantic ocean.
In the area we have two organic shops, beautiful castles in Sintra, as well as the westernmost point of Europe (Cabo da Roca) a bit further away. We are 45 minutes by car from Lisbon.
Culturally there are regularly events around, such as Yoga classes, dance events and many other activities.
We've got bicycles you can take. There are also buses.Help
We moved to a house 10 minutes walking distance from Praia das Maçãs and need help to renovate it and create a small community.
