The pandemic has brought us closer to nature, but also to our communities. The fascinating project Rostos da Aldeia ("Village Faces") tells the endless stories of the inhabitants of remote villages.

Apart from the words, we can also see the inspiring photos of these hard-working men and women, who chose the countryside to live in and to build their lives. And their stories.

The inhabitants of these friendly villages have the privilege of living surrounded by a dazzling natural setting. Life goes slower in those magical places. Time is a true luxury. Every single day these men and women fight against the desertification of the inland. They prove that there is a purpose in living away from the hustle and bustle of the crowded cities. Life becomes more meaningful.
