Portuguese people love two things more than anything: the beach and food. In this full-day journey you combine the two by finishing with a picnic on the beach. But first, you get your hands dirty.
Farmer’s markets are best in the morning, so you’ll be picked up in a legendary jeeps and roll straight over to hunt and gather the freshest local ingredients to craft an epic Portuguese picnic. Think cured meats, local cheese, fresh bread and ingredients for salad.
After you’ll head to our mate Joao’s farm to meet and greet his furry and feathered friends. Here you’ll learn about his animals and you’ll get to brush a donkey or pony, pet rabbits, feed a goat, say hi to sheep and see a mini pig from Vietnam. All things that make us happy!
