What's this trip about?

    Portugal Cooking Vacations Far more than just pastel de nata and Piri Piri chicken, Portuguese cuisine is overwhelmed by Mediterranean influences, intense spices, and Atlantic seafood. The dishes served in Portugal pay homage to their monasteries and convents, but also take influence from their long-standing trade routes. Portugal can make the dreams of even the biggest foodie come true. This country’s traditional cuisine uses products from the nearby sea and countryside. The local climate creates perfect conditions to cultivate vegetables and fruits, and also to have fish and seafood on the plate all year round.
