It's been very busy at Sugar Valley over the last few weeks with work continuing on the land and the clearing of the ancient water channels. We've also been discussing plans with the architect and interior designer as well as meeting with our professional content creator, Shane Browne. Shane has been collecting footage for our documentary to record the creation of Sugar Valley - Quinta Vale de Canas.
Shane travelled from the Republic of Ireland to meet us in Portugal and get started and he has already gathered some great material. We were lucky that he arrived when the almond trees were in full bloom and we have some beautiful footage. Shane was up very early to capture a stunning sunrise and also got some fantastic aerial views with his drone. We've been sharing some snippets on Instagram to keep you up to date and we're delighted to show you this short preview video to give you a taste of what's to come.
