Hi Dewi -- I found your blog while surfing on sites about Lisbon and Sintra.

Your name seems Welsh... I too have bought a cottage in Marvão (I'm Welsh, currently live in Lisbon... butaam about to move to Stockholm to earn the cash to return to live in Marvão). We should keep in contact. I'm already building up a network of contacts around Marvão (if you know a decent builder up there, let me know), and am likely to have friends in need of accommodation until our ruin gets renovated.

Hi Pete,
Yes I am Welsh and live near to Cabo da Roca, Sintra and used to live in Lisbon. Send me your contact and I can send you the name of a very good builder from Castelo da Vide.
good luck in Stockholm and maybe we could meet sometime in Marvão for a drink.
