Ecovillages in Portugal
Portugal has a long ecovillage history, shaped partly by ideas about community and partly by access to rural land. Some are decades old; others are still taking shape.
Quinta do Vale da Páscoa sits in the centre of the country. Loura is one of the newer communities still taking shape. What they have in common is that housing, food, water and decision-making are treated as one question rather than four.
Most publish their visiting terms (an open day, a work week, a trial period) on their own pages. If you are weighing up a move rather than a visit, the intentional communities and cooperatives focuses sit alongside this one. Dated activities from these projects are listed in our events calendar.
