Quite proud that Portugal is also celebrating having been named World's Leading Destination and World's Leading Tourist Board, while Lisbon - the country's coastal capital city - was presented with the trophy for World's Leading City Break Destination. Let us run through the list, shall we?

Everyone seems to be going to Portugal right now. Indeed, last month the country reported gleefully that it was heading for another record year for overseas arrivals.

It is with great pride that we can share with you that Portugal was named the Best Destination in Europe at the 2017 World Travel Awards.
This is the first time that Portugal has been voted the best European destination – highlighting the tremendous momentum that Portugal has attained in terms of quality, investment and media accolades (during 2017 Portugal received more than 2,300 awards and distinctions). The diversity of landscapes, growth of air accessibility, the ease of traveling within the country and the friendliness and welcome of the Portuguese people are all reasons Portugal took top honors.
This award is also the recognition of the commitment to make Portugal a destination of excellence, with a diversity of unique experiences for the visitor from north to south, from the coast to the interior.

The North of Portugal, where the famous Porto comes from and our personal favourite Douro Wine, is definitely a must see. A worthy alternative to staying on a Wine Farm (that I also recommend) is to enjoy a 3-journey trip on a 1890s train with a gastronomic feast with Michelin star delights.
This journey is limited to a few days in May and has limited capacity so don't miss it!

As Spring has started and Summer is almost here, a lot of exhibitions and events are lined up. If you still haven't been to Almada Negreiros exhibition, you still have time until the 5th of June.
A prolific artist from the early 20th century, whose work reflects the complex, experimental, contradictory and hybrid modernity.

Novo horário da exposição: quintas e sábados das 10:00 às 21:00. Isto de ser moderno é como ser elegante: não é uma maneira de vestir mas sim uma maneira de ser. Ser moderno não é fazer a caligrafia moderna, é ser o legítimo descobridor da novidade. José de Almada Negreiros, conferência O Desenho,...

Part of a country's culture for me is without a doubt gastronomy. So it is quite surprising when you discover new facts about things that you though you were knowledgeable about. Such is the case of Madeira wine. It seems that although heat, oxygen and vibration are wine enemies, with Madeira fortified wine heat ia actually used during its production and ageing, following the conditions during colonial times when wine was transported by boat. Quite a good reason to visit Madeira or any part of Portugal for that matter.

Though fortified and sweet wines are largely ignored nowadays, these can still appeal to the modern palate.

For those who haven't had the opportunity to see any of the previous exhibitions of Amadeo de Souza Cardoso, don't miss the exhibition in Museu do Chiado in Lisbon that is a replica of the one held 100 years ago. Quite a prolific artist with such a short life span. Highly recommended.

Inicialmente interessado pela arquitectura desloca-se a Lisboa em 1905 e no ano seguinte a Paris, onde viveria até 1914, com longas estadas de Verão em Espinho. Mas a sua apetência pelo desenho e pela caricatura, primeiro, e pela pintura, depois, cresce, e em 1909 ingressa na Académie Vitti, onde é…
