Community

Vale das Lobas is a community of purpose — a diverse network of people united by shared values and a commitment to regeneration.

A LIVING COMMUNITY

Revitalising rural life through regeneration — integrating ancestral tradition with innovation.

We hold immense gratitude for the residents of Sobral Pichorro, Fuinhas, Mata, and Aldeia Nova — the foundational community of Vale das Lobas.
These villages were once thriving agricultural centres, but during the 1970s many families left in search of opportunity abroad. Some have since returned to live out their later years in the land of their birth. They are the custodians of this valley’s ancestral traditions, our most respected elders, and they continue to play a vital role in its renewal.

The creation of Vale das Lobas — a Regeneration Village — began as a vision, first held by the founders, Tony and Lizzie, and now shared by a growing community of purpose.

When operations commence in 2025, the project will create over 50 local employment opportunities across hospitality, agriculture, health, and education. It will also generate new indirect opportunities through local enterprise, training, and volunteer programmes.

As this regeneration village grows, new residents will join the valley — families, professionals, and guardians — and once again, this land will echo with the sounds of a thriving community, children playing, and lives rooted in harmony with nature.

Vale das Lobas is mapping a route toward the revitalisation of community — a living model for how humanity can thrive once more in balance with the Earth.
