We support Rios con Vida because of the symbiosis between the protection of rivers and nature and our business activity, which is none other than the restoration and sale of rustic stone houses, always trying to preserve our heritage and the legacy of our neighbours. Our founder, Mark Adkinson, who never separates his passion from his work, has imbued the spirit of our company with the preservation of nature and life. This is why Mark has always integrated his respect for the environment, his tireless fight for the good of his region and the planet, through AEMS-Rivers with Life. It is an extension of our DNA. It is with this philosophy of life, the care of rivers, of nature, of our heritage, that our company was born. It is a natural symbiosis.
