Behind-the-Scenes Flamenco
Meet a family working behind the scenes of a Gypsy Cave Flamenco performance in the Sacromonte caves, a neighbourhood with intimate cave-like venues, before catching an immersive performance.
Tapas Tasting In Seville
We don’t include dinner in Seville. Why? We want you to explore the old town tabernas and sample incredible tapas! Try solomillo al whisky (pork loin with whisky sauce) or jamón Iberico de Bellota.
Wine Tasting In Évora
Pousada Convento de Évora is a luxury historic hotel housed in a beautifully restored former 15th-century convent. We’ll arrange for a Portuguese wine-tasting session and a delicious lunch in these spectacular surroundings.
Pastel de Nata Cooking Experience
Learn how to make Portugal's world-famous sweet custard tart, the pastel de nata! We'll arrange for you to take part in a hands-on baking class led by a local Portuguese baker.
Join The Locals At A Countryside Quinta
The best way to get to know Portuguese culture? During a hosted meal at a quinta in the scenic countryside. Chat to locals while enjoying a dinner of locally-grown food and wine.
