We don't have a name for the quinta yet....
well we do but one of our neighbours also has the same name so we want to come up with a different one.Should it reflect us or the land and what we want to achieve there?Should it just be a silly name?An anagram?Goodness knows!I have never thought about what I would name a property should I be in the position to do so...but its important to get it right as it will be difficult to rename in the future if we change our minds....
So if any one has any suggestions then feel free to suggest....

accommodation in the medium term....
so we will be renting for 3 months at casa simones in the village but then what?We have got a tiny 2 berth caravan

and an 8 person tent .A tent is not ideal in terms of shelter from the hot summer sun..just too hot.If we had any spare cash ,which we don't, then it would be a Yurt.
One of our neighbours makes Yurts and they are lovely.You can see what they offer here www.yurtportugal.com.They also have holiday accommodation in a beautiful spot by the river.Yurts just have a lovely feel about them and of course I have always loved circular spaces .
Another circular house idea I like is similar to what you can see here... www.thatrouundhouse.info.I like the idea of having a building workshop on the quinta in the future and getting me a little(ish) round house where I can work from or somewhere to accommodate wwoofers when we get the basic infrastructure in place (solar shower,compost toilets ,cooking area,maybe a power source?) .But the question is where do we live between April and October while we prepare the building for winter?It has to be another caravan or 2 I think.So I have put out ads to try and find us a very cheap one.Loads to be had in the UK via ebay but would prefer not to have to tow one from Yorkshire so I am keeping everything crossed that someone near by has one they want to dispose of!Will keep you posted...
