FIGUEIRINHA ECOSYSTEM
The environment
BIO SWIMMING POOL
Two thirds of our swimming pool is dedicated to 23 different species of plants that are responsible for the ecosystem. Close to a natural lake, this underwater world, free of chemicals, is inhabited by frogs, water insects, newts and sometimes turtles. The rest of the space, bordered by floaters, is kept for swimming
SOLAR ENERGY
Figueirinha Ecoturismo is situated 2,8 km from the closest village. In the middle of nature we chose to use renewable energy, especially solar power and batteries that together provide the basic needs for our home. Learning to live in a sustainable way is an ongoing process in which we try to engage our guests. Replace hi voltage equipment with other options is something we are used to do
COMPOST
Leaves, small branches, leftovers of vegetables and all the content of our dry toilets go to the compost. In due time all this is transformed into organic matter reused in the garden and in the vegetable garden
BIO VEGETABLE GARDEN
We grow a biological vegetable garden for our own consumption. Cabbages, tomatoes, lettuce, peppers, leaks, beets, onions, courgettes are a few examples of what we have in our land, depending of course on the season
FAUNA AND FLORA
Besides Cookie and Meia Leca – our dogs – Ema and Alice – our cats – we also have toads, frogs, spiders, bees-eaters, woodpeckers, bats, crickets, cicadas, praying mantis, hawks and owls and so many other animals that make this world a fascinating place. Flora wise the cork trees are in majority in this region but there are also olive trees and several fruit trees as well as rock rose bushes and other small bushes that give us a variety of fruits like the wild black berries or the soar berries
We are walking down the road of sustainability, please join us
