Quinta da Susy

We are in Altares, Terceira Island, Azores. Two holiday homes and private rooms. Reserve thru Airbnb. This is re-activating a long standing tradition.

Quinta da Susy is a place where you can stay while exploring Terceira island taking some time off from busy city life. We rent two renovated traditional one-bedroom houses with separate double rooms that can be combined with a house. We seem to always be building something, whether it's a shed in the fields made with the local rock, a cistern to capture rain water or an extension of one of our bui

ldings. We are also working to cultivate fruit and vegetables in the traditional, natural way. Our area has historically been known to supply a prized commodity to the island's inhabitants and passing ships - oranges, lemons and other citrus fruit. The area where we are located was a productive hillside close to the village of Altares on the northern side of the island. Many houses here were abandoned after a disastrous earthquake in January 1980. As people left for the US and Canada after the quake, the formerly productive plots were soon overgrown. We were lucky to acquire some of the ruins and to build them up again. For some years now, we have been taking care of the gardens that came with these houses. We reactivated the traditional orchards, all in small plots. We consume much of our fruit ourselves, and sell some to the local agricultural cooperative. Our next project may be another house to fix, or a Pub to provide a space for people to meet and have a good time... it may still take a while before we can start building that one. Meanwhile, you are most welcome to visit. We recommend you spend at least a week...

The regional government of the Azores checks local offers of houses and rooms for rent. They have given us number 1750...

Beyond the scarcity mindset …

We can feed, clothe and house
Everyone as Bucky once said,
If we convert industry
From making weaponry
To making livingry.
When providing the basics
For all humans to live
Is no longer up to
Each of us separately,
But is an effort
We together make as a society,
We may start calling ourselves

… a civilisation.

Always reminded of Susy when I see her dark red roses ... these photos are from nine years ago. Times change, and a new beginning may be near.

Traditions on our lively island of Terceira ...

Unlike the Spanish or Mexican bullfight, in the Portuguese version, the bull lives to return to the ranch. But by the time he has been chasing the cape-wielding…

this is from the MAPS Bulletin, a song by Marca Cassity.

"Fitting for a songwriter to be reckoned with, Cassity's song is a deeply emotional prayer of love to life, the sacred, and the great Mystery."

Lyrics:

This is a love song
For the ones that have come before
Singing to the ancestor Spirit realm
For our own survival

This is an offering
Sage sweet grass cedar smoke
Lovingly
Going out to the great Mystery.

You can go here to listen to the song.

from the album 2Sacred: Marx Cassity
