While there we also got to sample local bread and cheeses. The class itself was a bit of work but lots of fun. Even my teenage daughter enjoyed rolling up her sleeves and learning to cook. We made a 4 course meal consisting of bread soup, mussels, seafood captaplana and orange torte. We also got to sample some oysters and goose barnacles. All in all a wonderful way to spend 1/2 a day learning more about the Portuguese culture. Highly recommend!”

“The actual kayaking experience and the location was amazing and we loved it. We saw a beautiful cave, a small tiny beach which felt private where we had lunch and relaxed. So I would recommend kayaking as an activity. Though if you are not willing to put in the physical work, this isn’t for you because you need to be somewhat strong/fit for this. Let me now speak about the hosts Joao and Nuno. Joao took us in his van to the location to kayak and I’ve never heard so many offensive things and swear words come out of someone’s mouth. As a customer, you need someone who is at…”
