Amazing Tour that combines Traditions, Nature and Gins!
Visit one of the most amazing places in Portugal, Tróia, Comporta and Alentejo Coast.
But first, traditions, with a visit to São Simão Fábrica de Azulejos, where you will learn the true process of manufacturing traditional Portuguese tiles. You will have the opportunity to paint your own tile!
Visit Tróia, where you’ll find one of the most extensive beaches in Portugal, 18km long, which you can claim for yourself. Boat trips in search of dolphins, beaches extending as far as the eye can see, restaurants with fresh fish and terraces on the sand...
Follow to Comporta, The name Comporta, roughly translated, means a gate that holds back water, a lock. Which makes sense when you see how many canals there are. This is rice-paddy land. Great, stripey fields of rice, the biggest in Portugal, stretch all the way down the coast, sheltered from the stiff Atlantic breezes by sand dunes. They are kept green and bounteous by a crisscross of irrigation canals. In the heat of summer, when the rest of the country is dusty and dry, this area still thrums with life.
Rice farmers have been in Comporta since the beginning of time, as have the fishermen and salt makers. They have shaped the look of the landscape in this part of Portugal, dotted with cork oaks, covered with glowing red poppies and yellow carpets of wildflowers, and conserved the unique architecture - small, low-built, thatched cabanas, hooped with tightly packed grasses from the riverbanks and beams of wood from the pine forests.
We will make a stop for lunch here (Please find our sugestions above)
We will then finalize with a visit of one of the most famous places for Gin Lovers, in the middle of the nature, The black Pig Gin, in Santiago do Cacém.
