About

We are committed to the development of cultural and tourism products in the scope of Algarve’s history and culture and we believe in the promotion of the region through its heritage elements. Our mission is to provide you an experience of what Algarve has to offer, in an attractive and creative perspective. We invite you to discover it with us.

We promote thematic cultural courses in different locations in the region and several creative tourism experiences, always connected to the territory’s values, identity, and sustainability. We create tailored programs to achieve our clients’ wishes, including group activities and family/children experiences.

To develop the “Tempero” project, we established a partnership with the designer Alexandra dos Santos, whose more recent work and interests are linked to the Algarve region’s cultural heritage, as well to the application of design as a vehicle of promotion and development of local traditions.

Besides “Tempero” – which relates local traditions with gastronomy, design, and other visual culture subjects – we also offer activities on the route “Caminhos da Cal e Do Barro” (“Paths of Lime and Clay”), inspired by the old traditions of lime production in the region. Additional services in the area of culture can be consulted in our website.

Lupins by Measure. Tinsmith Experience

Algarve

In this workshop the challenge put to the participants is to elaborate a glass of measure of half liter, in can, like the ones used by the traders in the fairs and markets, a little by all the country. Cutting the plate, tapping, spinning through the die, bonding and sewing are some of the steps until you get the finished measurement, ready to go to the market and use it to buy a measure of lupines. With this experience you will also have the opportunity to participate in the process of valuing one of the most important traditional arts in the Algarve, the tinsmith art.   Registration until May 25! (Free) * Activity developed in partnership with Proactivetur
