 Alcaxua, Lda. has the ownership of this property:

Lugar Minas da Caveira

At Alcaxua we believe in the magic of this place and the hidden forces of 'The Iron Helmet'. Long time ago during the Roman Empire this place was a source of  copper, but also of gold and silver. Much later the mining activities brought it to a population of around 2000 inhabitants in the middle of the last century. We have been unfolding that magic and turned this place into a 'Paradise on Earth'.
