Glad to see this as the first comment I read. Im currently sat in Portugal on 4ha of land I have brought over near Fundão. It is more out of the way, but still has excellent access to cities. Plus it is absolutely beautiful.
I’m a freelance software developer and can happily work out here even on a plot of land which has no power/net connection. The 3G/4G is great, and everything easily runs of a single solar panel.
This isn’t my long term plan, but does me well when I come out here for a few weeks at a time. Long term there’ll be a house etc.
If there was a coworking space in Covilha / Castelo Branco I’d be very keen.
Otherwise I may start a little coders retreat or some such :-)
Not OP, but I have done work with literally a camping solar panel charging a 12V battery and a car power -> laptop power adapter. The setup cost me approximately $1000 AUD. I use the solar power for other things as well.
