FAVORITE EXPERIENCES
Sightseeing in Porto, Portugal
If you haven’t put Portugal on your bucket list, you should! And while Lisbon is amazing, be sure and visit Porto. We had a great tour of the city by Tuk Tuk that I know you will love.
Stargazing, Sunset, and Cava – Tenerife
Tenerife in the Canary Island is a must do! It’s a bit of a trip from the U.S. but well worth it for sun, sand, shopping, beaches, and so much more! My favorite tour was stargazing at Mt. Teide that included dinner and watching the sun go down with a glass of Cava. If you’re lucky, you may see a marriage proposal like we did!
Pastel de Nata Cooking Class – Portugal
If you find yourself in Porto, Portugal, and you have a few hours to spare, check out this cooking class that will teach you how to make the countries treasured pastry. My daughter and I had a great time and the best part, they serve wine!
Tenerife Gastronomy Tour – Tenerife
While in Tenerife, be sure and take a tour up North to see some of the wineries. This tour I loved! Gorgeous views of the sea, vineyards, two wineries and lunch included. The trip was just a few people, which made it intimate and fun. The first stop has great education on volcanic wines, and on the second you get to visit a cellar with hundred year old bottles. I strongly recommend this tour.
