Beschreibung

A unique tour, designed with the eye of a rammed earth specialist, an architect who will take us to discover various constructions, from mud ruins to its contemporary construction. The regeneration of this mode of construction is due to a group of Portuguese architects who have been involved in this territory since the 1980s, with ancient techniques to produce natural and current architecture.

It starts in São Teotónio to observe a wall from 1912 that was once a warehouse. Then the visit goes to rural tourism, all built on raw earth.

In Arrifoias, there will be the possibility to visit some rural houses belonging to a farmer who practices permaculture.

The journey continues to a hill in Pederneiras, an example of a new construction added to an older construction, a distinct example of a curious junction between contemporary and centuries-old rammed earth.

Right after lunch in the Juncal Valley, in a typical restaurant, the tour ends in a family home with a small and peculiar car museum.
