Already on shore the selling and bargaining between fishermen and local sellers begins, where everyone tries to get the best and earn their living. We will visit a very small fish market, while the fishermen arrive with the live fish and do the trade with the local fish sellers. After enjoying this emblematic moment, we will set to visit a top quality sardine canning factory, a typical Portuguese delicacy that is known all over the world. This unit is carefully selected by our team due to its near 100 years of history and the manual labor process that is a live legacy of tradition!

Testimonies

• This is a trip we will never forget, and we will highly recommend you and your company! I would be hard pressed to say which part of our trip was best. Our itinerary was perfect, our guides were wonderful, and our accommodations were like a dream. Nuno and his team could not do enough to make us feel welcome. We loved every minute we spent in Portugal. The worst part of our trip was saying good bye. I would highly recommend Splendid Evasion for any travel plans. My wife and I could not thank you enough for making us feel so welcome and special in our SPLENDID Portugal holiday! PS. I was happy to see Portugal won. Go Portugal!!

• The most magical and amazing trip to Portugal! César really took the time to find out my likes and dislikes before completing our initial itinerary, then was able to take what I wanted and make my suggestions and desires into the most magical and amazing trip to Portugal. I already want to plan my next trip because César made it so easy. We were taken care of every step of the way from the airport to hotels and every excursion we completed. Portugal is a beautiful country and I feel we were able to truly experience the heart of the country.
