Content Creation!

I can't believe it is already the end of the third week in January! January knew we needed 5 weeks this year!

I have been musing about LusoTours content topics and themes.
Below are some categories to look forward to on this blog:

LusoDine - my favourite
LusoDrink - my second favourite
LusoFact - short pieces about any aspect of Portuguese culture
LusoDance
LusoHistory
LusoArt
LusoCulture

and the list could and will go on...

Lisbon at night

TOUR THEMES:
Food, Fado and Festas - Lisbon

• With a focus on Lisbon's traditions and the indigenous cuisine of central Portugal, we will explore Lisbon from the the design conscious riverfront area to the top of the Moorish Castle of São Jorge. Experience the blues-like operatic strains of fado singing in late night tabernas and the energy of traditional summer festivals.  
• Incredible vistas, stair climbing and sea salt breezes free of charge!

Castles and Countryside - 
in and around Lisbon

• Explore the lush countryside full of the almond, cork and olive groves that Portugal is famous for. Take a 3 day tour of some of the most breathtaking castles in Europe all while enjoying the food and drink provided by pensions and wineries along the way.         
• Not a bad mini-break!

The Artist Within - in the Algarve or the Alentejo

•  At your own private estate - you can while away a week in the summer sun with a dip in the pool and just read your book, or work on the world's next great novel, painting or other art project of your choosing! All meals will be provided, as well as the opportunity for day excursions and a special guest appearance by a local writer, painter or artisan.  
• Bring your own creative project with you and be inspired by one of the oldest cultures in Europe!
