The Land

The first thing that jumps to the eye are the 30 olives trees. Aged and with no attention those will be the first to be looked after. Cutting and pruning them is the next job, before the winter, to make sure they get enough water to grow back up again.

There are also quite a few cork trees, wich we weren’t on time to take out (in May) but we will next year. We are also planning to plant a couple of trees do mark the future entry of the property, but that might be later in the year.

One of the things that could be seen as something not so pleasing about the land is the proximity to others. When moving away from caos, you would want something quiet and without people arround. We are roughly 60 meters apart from our next door neighbours, but we chose to see it as a great thing.

The couple is insanely helpful and friendly, the daughter and her husband are also really cool and are helping us growing the property and making us feel like home. They have garden were they grow all kinds of vegetables and fruits. The first time we got there, just to see the plot (it wasn’t ours yet) they gave us enough food for 2 weeks… No money buys this and there’s no way we can see this as something not positive.

The land has two water springs, wich made us really happy. Water supply will not be an issue to grow whatever we choose to.

One of the exciting things about it are the season changes and the way they change the views of the land, greener in Winter, brownish during Summer.

How good is this?
