      <image:title>About us - Location</image:title>
      <image:caption>Buddha Retreats is located close to the west coast of Portugal in the village of Columbeira and only an hour drive north of Lisbon. The area around Columbeira is known for its cultivation of pears and lies along the western wine route with many beautiful wineries nearby and the medieval village of Obidos only a few kilometres away. The proximity of the Atlantic Ocean with frequent rain falls during the winter months results in lush and green hills all year round.</image:caption>
