I watched a video where the community is replacing eucalyptus and pine with cork oak trees to minimise the fire risk. It is a double bonus for the village as cork oak is a native species, quite fire resistant and a retardant,and also generates a bit of income.
Here in Japan I have come to respect the power of nature with earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons, landslides, all made worse by human greed, where people settle on unsuitable land, exploit the land for short term gain, or simply don't prepare for what nature can throw at us. Like you say, living it brings about a mindset shift and that gives you the best chance of staying safe. I am so glad to hear that there is an amazing community, and that your volunteer firefighters did an amazing job to keep everyone safe. Really community is one thing to treasure if you find a place that has it, and I hope that by meeting new neighbours, you can become more part of that community.
I am so thankful that you and your community were not affected by the fire. It must have been a very sobering reality check. The forest fires are one of the factors that I research most when considering moving to Portugal, understanding fire zones, how communication is disseminated locally, and how to minimise the risks, including land clearance. Glad to see that you are working on the house! All the best❤
This is what I was waiting for deconstruction. So nice to see every one getting together with Luke and Sarah. Having the love of others around who are a little like minded is so good for the heart.
You guys need a small tractor with a slasher on the back - it just isn't time effective or practical to use a brush cutter and you could use it, to do so much more on your land. Nothing big, but something like a Massey Ferguson 35 or a 135, a SAME Condor or an old small Kubota - they just have to be 40hp or more, with a PTO (Power Take OFF) so you can drive most attachments. Life is always easier with a tractor. 😁Either that, or get yourself a couple of sheep to control the grass - not goats, they'll eat all your trees and escape to the neighbours and cause havoc. Good luck on the Big Re-Build👍👍
Hey Phil, thank you so much for that info, I really want to get a small tractor one day hopefully soon and I will definitely take the brand's you mentioned into consideration. It's been good to get familiar with the land and plants using the strimmer, but in the long term a tractor would be so much more efficient
That looks like a fantastic tractor. Maybe one day we will be able to get it. Kubotas are quite popular here actually but sheep! That is something we would love to get soon!
Again another superb video!! You guys are really becoming pros!!! Parabens!!! When we lived in California fire was a huge scare for us too. Now living in Israel we also see some natural and some not so natural fires during summer. It is very scary and we have learned to always be prepared. Fire, hurricanes, earthquakes I have been to them all and the word of advice is be always prepared. Maybe you can initiate a neighborhood watch, maybe a simple WhatsApp group to give updates in case trees fall, or grass is out of control..people from the neighborhood could volunteer to keep an eye and to help clear road sides...i always like to think of a Confucius quote that says " if you want to change the world, one must begin from one's own home, then its village and city and country and...." maybe you guys end up in that little corner of the world for a purpose. Maybe being young and have travelled around gives you a more creative way of solving problems. You can "pay back" to this amazing place by bringing some of these skills to help the local community...loved the video
Thank you Paula! Really appreciate your comment! The idea of a neighbourhood watch is very good one. I'm so glad we know our neighbours well enough! It was a litle bit frustrating not being able to do anything specially when there is a language barrier. In such situation you want to have the clearest communication so we just watched and the response was out of the world. We may have a forest around us but at least feel safe that our neighbours are really pro-active and fast at responding.
Have you considered borrowing grazing animals to cut down on the need to constantly weedwacking such a large area. Better for the climate and noise levels. The areas that are not grazed down can easily be weed wacked for fire purposes. I live in Tirol, Austria and every month the sheep show up with their little bells ding-a-linging and when the grass and brush are down they are herded off to the next field. The farmer uses electrical fencing that he takes along to the next area. They were taken away last week...I miss them and the grandkids loved the lambs.
Thank you so much for your update. It was scary with the fire around you. I am happy that you both are safe. I love the drone shots very much. Both of you did a great progress. Love and Blessings from Doris in Australia :)
It’s a Bucket to take water from whatever they can find in the area… mostly dam, rivers and some water silos. If you have a swimming pool in summer they can take water from that too
So glad your fire experience was a learning tool and not a tragedy. No matter how many times you see a fire on the tv, or read a bout fire safety, you are never over prepared . There is nothing like the real thing. We live with the same type of conditions here in Australia, so I am feeling your nerves. Stay safe my friends. I’m excited to see your progress. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
Nothing more volatile then Pine and Eucalypt. Planted together is madness. Our "future timbers" forestry plantings in Australia, focused on monoculture systems of one species of Eucalypt, they failed disastrously. Portugal's reliance on these two is a disaster waiting every year.
So glad there was no loss of life. and the fire threat seems to have brought you & your neighbors closer to be prepared as you can be. While you folks are cranking on, it's great you're also demonstrating taking the rest that's needed and appreciating your lives there. Btw, it was great to see you getting to meet and hang out with Luke & Sarah, Nick & Andrea, Iwan & Carissa, Jasper and helper pal Duart. Long have i yearned for my fave CP tubers to join forces 😄. And you are, 🙆🏻♀️ yay! There's strength in sharing experiences 💗.
The threat of🔥 fire in 🇵🇹 is extremely high and deadly. That's why I have yet to purchase a home in the country. I live in my own modern apt. but even then, no one is safe. Many foreigners don't realize just how volatile pine and eucalyptus are at consistently 30-40°C sunny days from May to September. With the struggles of life many here go thru to have their own abode, be it poor or not, people just freak out at the thought of losing all, even if a small fire in or around them; the winds are an issue as well. Our firefighters are some of the bravest, most incredible human beings I ever seen anywhere . They put their life at risk to save us from fire. They fight for adequate equipment, vehicles, supplies etc, for absolutely NO pay. Where else in the world can you see selfless humanity like such I don't know. But here is another reason why Portugal has survived as a nation for almost 900 years. We love each other, stick together as one and help eachother in real time of need. Thank God for these heroes and so happy you and others were safe. BTW that is an ancient water scooper! They were normally part of a water mill and there were several arms as such attached to the wheel. Heads up and keep up the good work! 🙏😘🤗♥️🇵🇹
Quite right. I think that when it comes to moving to the country, there is always something that's got to give. In this case the trade is forest fires. So we need to become very savvy at prevention mostly and then if it happens, how to respond. So, I'm very confident the community is ready but now we all individually need to prepare our land. Our dream is to buy the land behind us. I would cut all the Eucalyptus and plant native trees.
@@TheIndigoEscape Indeed, but there is still great irresponsability and criminality, for many fires are set. Let's hope things change for the best, and we hope the arrival of new laws, and newcomers such as yourselves will give us the manpower and incentive to look out for our own land. Our population is old, our old houses and properties are being abandoned, and there is just not enough of us left for all this huge job, so thank you!
Thank you for sharing - I’m very glad that you are safe! Do you know whether the fire killed the trees that we see in the ending drone shot? It looks like the fire moved quickly and may have just burned the dry leaves and grass under the trees and not actually killed the trees themselves. This is obviously a huge natural problem in central Portugal and I’ve seen other expatriate landowners with TH-cam channels cutting down grass and burning brush (when it’s safe). When finances allow, you may want to invest in a brush and field mower (we call them brush hogs in the US) to make the task easier - strimmers are quite heavy and supporting that weight for hours on end is very tiring.
I'm not sure if they got killed. I know Cork trees are very resiliant so I think it was only the outer layer that got damaged. Eucalyptus however is highly flammable so I would guess they may well have been damaged.
I live in your area and when I saw that fire it remind me so much off the 2017 fire. It was in deed a traumatising experience that I hope never live it again
So happy that you didn't have fire damage! I've been wondering, as I watch several Portugal channels, when this would happen. But everything looks too green for fires. The drone views, the camera work in general, and the music--all impressive!!!
I’m so glad you’re saving those antique roof tiles! They are so much prettier than the new ones and add so much character to your house. (And they are valuable!) I live in California where we have a lot of fires too. I’m happy that you’re property escape the fire, so scary!
I bet it was scarry. We have a volunteer Fire Fighters here as well. Because you never know when and how strong the winds will be on the island, we're not to have open burns. Only in firepits(if your cooking), Bar-B-Q s, No bone fires on the beaches either. I've seen where one house caught fire and 4 ended up burning to the ground bc of the wind. . Nice to see a video from y'all again!🙏❤️🇺🇸⛵️👣🇧🇫
I you two! I'm glad you and the rest of the neighbours were all right after those fires, unfortunately they happen every year, most of them normal occurrence, a few by mismanagement/lack of knowledge etc. a few by outright criminality. you've done the right thing, watering all of the property etc. make sure you and neighbours, have a way(s) out planned, very important on such situations. Keep safe!
That’s why people need to make fire breaks. Pull out non native trees mimosas. Are the trees that are the biggest fire starters. Thank you to the men and women who fight the fires 🔥 for us, to keep us safe.
It is very Apoplectic, after a fire. An eerily silence falls, but know, there is new growth in these old woods. Mother nature is a kindhearted beast, it´s us humans that cause the havoc It´s amazing to see the progress on the first of many NEW adventures.. Plenty of tiles here, for free, if you know a good roofer, with an hour to spare !!!! xx Love to you both. Wine & Cheese anytime xxx
Hazel ☘️ … Fires ! … very traumatic indeed , I’m thinking it was good there was quite a few good rainy days of late … hot summer to come … be vigilant and ring for brigade immediately you see smoke … Be safe … I travel Wednesday to hope to see you soon … busy busy downsizing ! Have a good week 🙏☘️😘
We know your feelings, a similar situation happened to us . I like you tried to hose our exit area, but water ran out . It was very scary. I am glad to say like you all ended being put under control . Thank you bombeiros.
I am so glad to see you guys are OK.🙏 I found it strange we had not heard from you for so long, I was getting worried. It is wonderful to see you starting on your main house, taking all the ugly broken things down, it will look amazing in no time💫.😁👏
New subscriber. You have a large task ahead of you but what a wonderful opportunity to create a charming home. Love the grass trimming message and looking forward to many more videos.
Eucalyptus has a high oil content that’s where we get our eucalyptus oil which we love ( good for colds and germs) but it’s also a great hardwood for building. Yes definitely keep your grass a cut no trees close to your house gutters clear and put sprinklers on you roof to keep them wet and the hose to put out spot fires. You are all such hard workers with attention to detail can’t wait to see what you do with your home. Thank you for sharing ❤
I you keep the broken tiles put them in your driveway and break them down even further. Then you can mix with other materials and make yourself a good foundation base for your driveway. Just saying.
Oh my goodness those last Arial shots of the burn area. Oh my!!! Thank God every one was safe!! What a scarey thing to happen but in a twist a very awakening thing to have happen to keep people eyes open to the danger and to keep others to do their part. I can see it woke you 2 up!!
I would definitely take care of the carpenter bee problem. They've been humming throughout most of the video. They are destructive. With all your rotted wood around, you will have a tough time trying to get rid of them. I had them even in my broom handle. You do a lot of hard work. Hope one day you will benefit from it. Jane, Philadelphia
Those 'not quite perfect roof tiles' would be ideal to edge your raised garden beds once you make them. Long sticks could also be used for support for runner beans. In Liziqi videos I saw that girl water her plants in little bit wider beds with 'can on the pole'. So, all for garden!!
Oh wouldn't I love a mower! To be honest, a tractor would be better because the land is so uneven with clumps of grass. A tractor will breeze through it all! Maybe at the end of the year!
Very glad to hear that you're safe after that fire, I'm sure that was unsettling to say the least. One quick question about the construction: Do you need to obtain permission or permits?
There are many fires in my area so I’m careful to maintain my property to eliminate fuel for a fire. Unfortunately my neighbors to the south do not maintain their property which causes me concern.
If you reuse them it is hours of cleaning as Jasper will tell you. Maintenance is always there to do too. a ride on mower on your shopping list too.?????
Un trabajo fuerte les espera, pero como siempre salen adelante. Me gusta mucho sus videos, entretenidos ... y dejan a uno con la curiosidad de que sigue.
Em Portugal, os eucaliptos são uma praga, deviam ser proibidos e proceder-se a uma "deseucaliptização" do país e reflorestação com espécies autóctones (um trabalho hercúleo e dispendioso, mas necessário), para isso precisamos pressionar os políticos (ainda mais 🥵) e sensibilizar a opinião pública, em particular as populações que vivem nas áreas rurais/florestais (onde a população é cada vez mais reduzida e envelhecida 😟)
In your region with the pine trees you MUST pay attention. Pine burns quickly and is very dangerous! When it is small you can put it out! Your area of the world is known for fires so you Must pay attention!
That must have been so scary guys...glad to see you starting on the main HSE...its going to he a long project isnt it...I hope all your subscribers are bck on track with you but I know it was by chance I saw that you wer bck home as I wasnt notified even though I have all notifications bell pressed...
I wonder if you replace those 2 stone walls with wood construction, wouldn't that be faster and cheaper. Especially using that burning method like u did before
Olá eu sou Aquilino. Esse incêndio foi em que zona de Portugal? É pena que Portugal à uns 40 ano esteja a ser consumido por incêndios todos os anos, 99%dos incêndios são de mãos criminosas! Portugal como eu o conhecia era um país lindo onde havia muita floresta! Tenham um bom fim de semana.
We don't really. We are very happy here. Everywhere you go, you will have a risk, a silver lining and a privilege. I think this was a good way to prepare us and start to get our prevention kit sorted.
May be this event of a fire woke people up again to the responsibility of making sure to do their due diligence. We can of hope. Can never forget when everything is so green that a reality check is set in place. Do they have reminders of fire seasons and conditions as a country?
Esse pessoa de farramenta que vocês dizem que não sabem para que serve e que te um cabo comprido e é feito em chapa de zinco é um cabaço para tirar água de dentro de um reservatório de água ou para regar as Hortas.
You can say it again fireman are absolute heroes protecting communities and forests, putting their lives at risk... for no money or glory
Those fire fighters are real heroes, selfless and brave. A blessing to Portugal.
I watched a video where the community is replacing eucalyptus and pine with cork oak trees to minimise the fire risk. It is a double bonus for the village as cork oak is a native species, quite fire resistant and a retardant,and also generates a bit of income.
There are no “fire resistant trees” they all burn.
Here in Japan I have come to respect the power of nature with earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons, landslides, all made worse by human greed, where people settle on unsuitable land, exploit the land for short term gain, or simply don't prepare for what nature can throw at us.

Community is everything and we are so lucky to be able to have them. Thank you Annie xx
Land is looking so luscious and love the views and birdsong. Thanks.
I am so thankful that you and your community were not affected by the fire. It must have been a very sobering reality check.

So nice to see every one getting together with Luke and Sarah. Having the love of others around who are a little like minded is so good for the heart.
That's why there is no break here to chop the vegetation off around the houses! Very scary. Off I go to do some more work. Take care! F
You guys need a small tractor with a slasher on the back - it just isn't time effective or practical to use a brush cutter and you could use it, to do so much more on your land.

This would be so inefficient for me. I would spend 12 hours a day just admiring the sheep. Then if I accidentally counted them i would fall asleep.
Thank you so much for your update. It was scary with the fire around you. I am happy that you both are safe. I love the drone shots very much. Both of you did a great progress. Love and Blessings from Doris in Australia :)
Amazing video guys... well done 5×☆
I think it's a bucket to draw water from the well....🤔💧🪣
It’s a Bucket to take water from whatever they can find in the area… mostly dam, rivers and some water silos. If you have a swimming pool in summer they can take water from that too
Yeap, it is. I grew up near Arganil (close to Poiares) and i remember this perfectly ;)
I live in Northern California and I know it is very important to keep the wild grass cut and brush trimmed
So sorry you had to go through this trauma. Really happy you all got out unscathed! Please keep safe and take care 💜
Your place is beautiful. So green and lush. A piece of paradise. Thanks for the video.
So glad your fire experience was a learning tool and not a tragedy. No matter how many times you see a fire on the tv, or read a bout fire safety, you are never over prepared . There is nothing like the real thing.
We live with the same type of conditions here in Australia, so I am feeling your nerves.
Stay safe my friends. I’m excited to see your progress.
Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
Absolutely. Australia has seen some major natural catastrophes. Sending love to you guys xx
Nothing more volatile then Pine and Eucalypt. Planted together is madness. Our "future timbers" forestry plantings in Australia, focused on monoculture systems of one species of Eucalypt, they failed disastrously. Portugal's reliance on these two is a disaster waiting every year.
I know, Australia has the same problems. It was so scary specially when it grew in a matter of minutes. Never ever underestimate fire.
Loved the visuals, great video guys❤️
OMG, they cloned Omar!!
Yes he looked like Omar must be a realitive
So happy you are safe ♥️♥️🇵🇹
Love to see the progress you are making on your house.
So glad there was no loss of life. and the fire threat seems to have brought you & your neighbors closer to be prepared as you can be.
While you folks are cranking on, it's great you're also demonstrating taking the rest that's needed and appreciating your lives there.
Btw, it was great to see you getting to meet and hang out with Luke & Sarah, Nick & Andrea, Iwan & Carissa, Jasper and helper pal Duart. Long have i yearned for my fave CP tubers to join forces 😄. And you are, 🙆🏻♀️ yay! There's strength in sharing experiences 💗.

So happy that you didn't have fire damage! I've been wondering, as I watch several Portugal channels, when this would happen. But everything looks too green for fires. The drone views, the camera work in general, and the music--all impressive!!!
Hello, who was helping you? It looked like Omar twin with the same pony tail 🤪
Hello from Australia, and you need a small ride on mower .
Look forward to seeing the next phase of your build, I'm enjoying watching your videos, keep them coming please.
I’m so glad you’re saving those antique roof tiles! They are so much prettier than the new ones and add so much character to your house. (And they are valuable!)
I live in California where we have a lot of fires too. I’m happy that you’re property escape the fire, so scary!
Those old tiles have such a beautiful varied patina. I hope you can find an aesthetic use for them.
Yes fires are scary, but you have done good work to keep yourselves safe. Hope the rebuilding goes well.
I wonder if the bucket on a pole is for picking oranges ? We use something similar but with a clothe bag and one serrated edge to help pick fruit.
I bet it was scarry. We have a volunteer Fire Fighters here as well. Because you never know when and how strong the winds will be on the island, we're not to have open burns. Only in firepits(if your cooking), Bar-B-Q s, No bone fires on the beaches either. I've seen where one house caught fire and 4 ended up burning to the ground bc of the wind.

I you two! I'm glad you and the rest of the neighbours were all right after those fires, unfortunately they happen every year, most of them normal occurrence, a few by mismanagement/lack of knowledge etc. a few by outright criminality.
you've done the right thing, watering all of the property etc. make sure you and neighbours, have a way(s) out planned, very important on such situations.

Fires ! … very traumatic indeed , I’m thinking it was good there was quite a few good rainy days of late … hot summer to come … be vigilant and ring for brigade immediately you see smoke …
Be safe …
I travel Wednesday to hope to see you soon … busy busy downsizing !
Have a good week
🙏☘️😘
Nice good work, carry on with the good work and good new week all the best to you 2.
Excellent. Keep your efforts this way, you will see the brilliant results. Blesses.
I almost cried, this is so scary and you could see the emotion when you explained it all. Take Care!
We know your feelings, a similar situation happened to us .
I like you tried to hose our exit area, but water ran out . It was very scary.
I am glad to say like you all ended being put under control .
Thank you bombeiros.
So glad your are both ok, hopefully you will not experience a fire so close again.
Good luck with the renovation can’t wait to watch it transform.
It's amazing how amazed you were
I am so glad to see you guys are OK.🙏 I found it strange we had not heard from you for so long, I was getting worried. It is wonderful to see you starting on your main house, taking all the ugly broken things down, it will look amazing in no time💫.😁👏
New subscriber. You have a large task ahead of you but what a wonderful opportunity to create a charming home. Love the grass trimming message and looking forward to many more videos.
Eucalyptus needs to be recolonised back to Australia asap. Is it possible for the local people to take radical action on this fire hazard
Hopefully there won't be fire again soon! Hard work ahead but you can do it!
Eucalyptus has a high oil content that’s where we get our eucalyptus oil which we love ( good for colds and germs) but it’s also a great hardwood for building. Yes definitely keep your grass a cut no trees close to your house gutters clear and put sprinklers on you roof to keep them wet and the hose to put out spot fires.

I you keep the broken tiles put them in your driveway and break them down even further. Then you can mix with other materials and make yourself a good foundation base for your driveway. Just saying.
Keep up the great work stay safe
You are working well and with great effort. I wish you a good result for your efforts. Enjoy your time🎉
Thank you! 😃
Oh my, you must’ve been so worried, glad all is well, take super care, Laura xx
Oh my goodness those last Arial shots of the burn area. Oh my!!!
Thank God every one was safe!! What a scarey thing to happen but in a twist a very awakening thing to have happen to keep people eyes open to the danger and to keep others to do their part.
I can see it woke you 2 up!!
I would definitely take care of the carpenter bee problem. They've been humming throughout most of the video. They are destructive.

Those 'not quite perfect roof tiles' would be ideal to edge your raised garden beds once you make them. Long sticks could also be used for support for runner beans. In Liziqi videos I saw that girl water her plants in little bit wider beds with 'can on the pole'. So, all for garden!!
It seems that a ride on mower would be of great benefit to you. Especially in time saved
Oh wouldn't I love a mower! To be honest, a tractor would be better because the land is so uneven with clumps of grass. A tractor will breeze through it all! Maybe at the end of the year!
@@TheIndigoEscape Don't get too spoiled. It starts with a tractor...
Very glad to hear that you're safe after that fire, I'm sure that was unsettling to say the least. One quick question about the construction: Do you need to obtain permission or permits?
There are many fires in my area so I’m careful to maintain my property to eliminate fuel for a fire. Unfortunately my neighbors to the south do not maintain their property which causes me concern.
could you get away with maintaining it for them? maybe in secret?
@@WoodworkingforAnyone unfortunately no, it would be very obvious and since we both have 10 acres it's all I can do to maintain my own property.
@@katieallen3927 bummer. I love a good sneaky property cleaning. I hope you find an arrangement.
If you reuse them it is hours of cleaning as Jasper will tell you. Maintenance is always there to do too. a ride on mower on your shopping list too.?????
Un trabajo fuerte les espera, pero como siempre salen adelante. Me gusta mucho sus videos, entretenidos ... y dejan a uno con la curiosidad de que sigue.
as an Australian I know how dangerous our eucalyptus are.
Em Portugal, os eucaliptos são uma praga, deviam ser proibidos e proceder-se a uma "deseucaliptização" do país e reflorestação com espécies autóctones (um trabalho hercúleo e dispendioso, mas necessário), para isso precisamos pressionar os políticos (ainda mais 🥵) e sensibilizar a opinião pública, em particular as populações que vivem nas áreas rurais/florestais (onde a população é cada vez mais reduzida e envelhecida 😟)
@@marisa01082012 Sorry I am hopeless at language the only one I speak and understand is English.
scary experience indee. Luckily it ended all well and you guys leanred a thing or two that will help in the future.
In your region with the pine trees you MUST pay attention. Pine burns quickly and is very dangerous! When it is small you can put it out! Your area of the world is known for fires so you Must pay attention!
Muitos parabéns. gosto muito do vosso trabalho. Até beve.
That must have been so scary guys...glad to see you starting on the main HSE...its going to he a long project isnt it...I hope all your subscribers are bck on track with you but I know it was by chance I saw that you wer bck home as I wasnt notified even though I have all notifications bell pressed...
I saw it on their facebook page.
I wonder if you replace those 2 stone walls with wood construction, wouldn't that be faster and cheaper. Especially using that burning method like u did before
I was looking houses about made of cob and it realy Nice and you chuold Do it it would be super Nice at youre new home♻️
Olá eu sou Aquilino. Esse incêndio foi em que zona de Portugal? É pena que Portugal à uns 40 ano esteja a ser consumido por incêndios todos os anos, 99%dos incêndios são de mãos criminosas! Portugal como eu o conhecia era um país lindo onde havia muita floresta! Tenham um bom fim de semana.
All those imported Eucalyptus trees are so flammable.
Do you have any regrets in choosing the location? If they could, would they go back?
There are no save areas in the Mediterranean countries unfortunately with climate changes we are all at risk
We don't really. We are very happy here. Everywhere you go, you will have a risk, a silver lining and a privilege. I think this was a good way to prepare us and start to get our prevention kit sorted.
Does anyone have a lawnmower over there
🤣 I’m sure but the problem is that our soil is super bumpy snd has quite a bit of brambles. A common lawnmower wouldn’t last a month.
May be this event of a fire woke people up again to the responsibility of making sure to do their due diligence. We can of hope.
Can never forget when everything is so green that a reality check is set in place.
Do they have reminders of fire seasons and conditions as a country?
Esse pessoa de farramenta que vocês dizem que não sabem para que serve e que te um cabo comprido e é feito em chapa de zinco é um cabaço para tirar água de dentro de um reservatório de água ou para regar as Hortas.
