The
Portuguese villages and its small pieces of land show ancient habits,
lost in the nights of time. It
is a simple architecture of pure communitarian concept: the simplicity
of their life habits, the way they cultivate the land, the food they
eat, the manufacture of the olive oil and the wine, as well as its
typical aguardente. The Portuguese people is
conservative but, by nature, peaceful and warm-hearted. The popular
art is a very rich asset of the Portuguese culture. The traditional
fairs and local festivals still keep the ancestors ties. These are
indeed curious examples of how traditions are kept from generation
to generation, along the times.
From
the picturesque Minho to
the Algarve of
sun and beaches, it is this fascinating voyage the visitor will embrace
in this program.
