Today we celebrate one year of our blog Quinta das Praias and we’re so happy and overwhelmed and grateful for all your visits and kind words. We’ve started this blog to give strength, structure and to share the art work of our residents and visitor, without many expectations. We are still struggling with the present conditions but we had so many visitors from all over the world, almost 10.500 during this year and we take it as a warm and loving sign that something good we are doing in this almost end of the world. Once again, with open hearts we invite you to visit virtually or physically our peaceful land. May the stars be our happy wishes of light and love for this New Year to you! * Thank you all *
