Portugal with Friends

In May 2024, embark on an  inspiring and leisurely journey through Portugal, exclusively designed  for an intimate group of women. Explore the vibrant cities of Lisbon and  Porto, where the energy of urban life meets rich cultural heritage.  Venture into the heart of Alentejo, a region celebrated for its enduring  Portuguese craft traditions. This is a slow, sensory journey guided by passionate local artisans and historians. Witness the exquisite craftsmanship of azulejos, the iconic hand-painted tiles that depict Portugal's colorful history  and culture. Each tile is a canvas, blending Moorish and Baroque  influences into intricate designs. Then, explore traditional weaving,  detailed embroidery, and unique cork creations. Each crafted piece is a  celebration of the country's diverse artistic expressions, mirroring the  landscapes and stories of its people.
