about us
HISTORY OF THE ASSOCIATION
With a curiosity for rural life, a group of young people decided to venture into creating new memories in a village called Aldeia during the pandemic (2020). Casa d’Abóbora initially began as an informal youth group and, in 2021, was established as a youth association with the mission of promoting cultural activities and preserving local heritage.
