It's time to explore Porto and its glamour opting for one of these options that we offer for you, so let us know which one suits you best: OPTION 1: During this "out of the circuits" experience, you will have the chance to interact with several stages of the fish production. Visit a nearby beach, waiting for the traditional fishermen’s boats to arrive from the sea with the catch of the day. 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. At the end of the visit there will be a can fish tasting. This morning of culture and tradition will end at the market where you will have the chance to choose your fresh fish directly from a traditional fish seller, to then be prepared at a restaurant close to the market. OPTION 2: We invite you to meet an ancient artisanal Portuguese goldsmithing technique passed down from generation to generation: the filigree, which consists in the art of creating very thin wires of gold or silver, twisted and flatten, applied through a gentle work of detail and patience. Have the opportunity to learn and experience some ancestral techniques in a filigree workshop. Visit a traditional workshop where the author will explain the entire production process. The visit will end in Casa Branca do Gramido, where you can take a look at the exhibition “Alchemy of Filigree”. OPTION 3: We invite you on this day to release your inner chef in our deliciously fun, technique based, hands-on cooking class! Enjoy yourself in the kitchen with a professional Chef, teaching and working with you preparing a full meal! We can promise of course a lot of "mess", having some glasses of wine and enjoy the all process. Free afternoon.
