One week, Algarve, Portugal

London's too expensive to live in - and missing the community that makes it worth it. See how else it could be.

Unsignal takes small groups of Londoners to a real eco-village in Portugal for one week - not a holiday, a genuine look at people already living for less, and living closer together. Come see the actual cost, the actual routine, and decide for yourself if it's for you.

Hosted in partnership with an established eco-village near Silves

Why now

Most of London is choosing between two options. There's a third.

01

Stay, and keep paying

Rent takes the biggest bite before anything else happens - and what's left rarely goes far enough to feel like it was worth it.

02

Leave, and hope for the best

Quitting everything for a one-way ticket sounds freeing until you're the one figuring out visas, income and community from scratch, with no one who's done it before.

03

See it first - properly

A week living alongside people who've already made the change. Real costs, real routines, real answers - before you bet anything on it.

The tour

A week inside a different life, not a lecture about one.

We take a small group of Londoners to an eco-village near Silves, in the Algarve - a working community where people have already built the life you're only half-letting yourself imagine.

You eat together, work alongside the people who live there, and see the real, unglamorous mechanics of lower-cost, higher-meaning living - the actual rhythm of a normal day, not a highlight reel.

By the end of the week you'll have a genuinely honest answer to the question you came with: could I actually do this, and what would it take?
