Looking back on an engaging presentation at the en Looking back on an engaging presentation at the end of Joshua Glass’s artist residency. Joshua led participants to explore their connection to nature and share personal stories about this connection. From behind the camera as an observer of the event it was beautiful to see the way the elements of his presentation complemented each other: art & nature, people & the land, direction and liberty. Proud of the way the quinta can hold these kinds of intimate events. Well done Joshua. We hope to host you again! #arterural #joshuaglass #artistinresidence #ruralartresidence #moinhosdodao #dãovalley #riodao #mangualde #natureconnection

Caminho-ing in the Dão valley with a small group. Caminho-ing in the Dão valley with a small group. An experience that is not just a romantic visit to historic sites and natural beauty but also an encounter with the reality of invasive species (Acacia trees and Luisana langoustines) and the challenges of preserving natural and cultural heritage. Call it realism-tourism or engaged-tourism, at least it is a form of tourism that looks beyond the green surface and tells the story of the current reality in this part of Portugal. The rural story that comes with qualities and challenges that are shared across the world. Very encouraging to see how interested this group was in being exposed to these two sides of the story. Tourism can go so much further than just consumption it can be a participatory experience or cultural exchange as well and be a force of good in the world. That’s the Caminho we want to work on and experience. GratiDão for this valley giving us the opportunity to learn about this and grow. #dodao #riodao #riodão #mosteirodesantamariademaceiradão #mangualde #visitviseu #on_centro #ecoportugal #responsibletravel #sustainabletourism #ecoturismo #regenerativetourism #moinhosdodão #moinhosdodao #caminhododao #caminhododão #fornosdemaceiradão #consciuostravel #restorationtourism #portugal🇵🇹

It’s been quite a week in the life of the Dão r It’s been quite a week in the life of the Dão river thanks to Steven Barich aka ‘Johny Farm Tech’. Sr. Costa, the man who built this mill complex, would have been proud of him. Everyone else should just be grateful as he singlehandedly took on the job of draining the ‘açude’ (the small dam/water reservoir that feeds the mills) and to replace one of the broken doors in the dam wall (wood) and to repair the door that we can open and close (metal) to manage the amount of water that flows through the mills. The purpose of the work was to keep more water in the açude and flowing through the mills for our mini hydropower installation and the RAM pump that provides water for the gardens. As if this was not enough, he also took this moment of low water to cut some of the trees that were in the açude and move logs. Impressive what one man can do in one week (well prepared off course) and so valuable to learn about managing the water table and flow of a river so we can live and work here more easily. GratiDão for Steven’s skills and determination. Without it we could not live here or have the conditions for others to enjoy this place. #ecoportugal #givethanks #responsibletravel #diy #diyhomestead #oldmills #moinhos #moinhosdeagua #patrimoniocultural #portugalantigo #antigoportugal #beiraalta #dodao #riodao #riosdeportugal #moinhosdodão #moinhosdodao #mangualde #viseuportugal #centrodeportugal
