Almeida
A fortified Portuguese town on the Spanish border, selected as the first NomadVillage cross-border pilot territory.
A living border territory
Almeida combines a remarkable star-shaped fortress, the mobility corridor of Vilar Formoso and a direct relationship with neighbouring Spanish communities. The pilot will organise verified homes, remote-work conditions, local experiences and practical arrival support in one destination.
The pilot
The first operational target is a focused inventory of verified accommodation and experiences, tested with a small group of remote workers before wider expansion.
