Terramada: 30 years of experience in permaculture in southern Portugal

Terramada is an ecovillage in southern Portugal, situated a few miles from the Spanish border. Thirty years ago, a collective of pioneering French ecologists settled here to live in accordance with the principles of permaculture.

Today, six permanent residents live on this magnificent 25-acre site situated at the base of a dam. The main residency sits on what resembles an island in the middle of the lake…

If we can’t change ourselves, nothing will change.

With over thirty years of experience, the community has hosted countless visitors. It is currently hosting workshops on personal emancipation.

It is open to visitors and residents.
