How will I get a feel for the local lifestyle of a place?

First of all our trip leaders, being local, can teach you a lot about the lifestyle and culture of places we visit. As we hike and bike through towns and villages we try to stop and chat people along the way: a fisherman on the cliffs, a vendor at the local farmer’s market, or a waiter or restaurant owner at one of our meals. You may get to visit a local Lusitano horse farm, a cork farm, or see how local crafts (ceramics, tiles) and foods (olive oil, wine, cheese) are produced and simply chat with the locals in the supermarket or village square. And every evening you will have the opportunity to savor variations of the local cuisine at dinner. Contact us so we can find the trip that best matches your interests.
