Hello<br><br> I live in Estoraos, Ponte de Lima,(Minho)in the north and to my knowledge<br>there isn't any.<br> I am planning to build my future house of straw bales but that will take<br>some time.<br> I spoke to a dutch acquaintance and he told me that down in the Alentejo
<br>there are some straw bale constructions.<br> If you indeed come this way and you happen to be the area, mail me , maybe<br>I can be of some assistance, I have been living in this country for a long<br>time.<br><br><br>
