The Reason #20 Harvest is a party! The end of summer and the beginning of fall usher in the harvest season in Portugal: the grapes are ready to be picked from the vines, in a festive and convivial atmosphere, to produce the wine of the year. It's a Portuguese tradition that, although modernized in some respects, is still what it used to be.

This isn't chocolate! It's carob. In a land whose shores are bathed by the sea and which is illuminated by the sun in a vibrant blue sky that adorns the summer landscape, the breezes bring together the intense mystical aromas of distant times and lands and give life to the Carob World Inspired since 2015 to reveal the Mediterranean's best-kept secret carob. The carob tree bears a rich and exotic fruit that triggers a passionate search for its essences, textures and sensations. At...

Enjoying a truly Portuguese summer. We've reached the middle of July and, if we're lucky, summer has already started! Nothing says summer in Portugal like “Tavira”, a sunny town in the south of our country in the “Algarve” region. Here, the blue sky is as endless as our rocky coastline, and the scorching summer days turn into balmy evenings where the seaside streets come alive.

The Reason #17 Summer in Portugal is a glass of chilled white wine on the beach. It's the warmth of friends and the cool waters of our seas. This year it's also the euphoria of soccer, with a cold beer and the tasty snacks that accompany every victory and defeat.

The sea, our eternal lover! The sea and Portugal have long been linked, like two lovers who have known each other for a long time. Our culture, our gastronomy and our people would not be the same without the influence of the sea that surrounds us. The sea has brought us the taste of spices, new flavors, new customs and discoveries. In Portugal, we can almost say that there is a beach for every visitor and a port on every corner with a lighthouse to guide the way.

Reason #15 Moved? We're ready! Although it's an expression from our Spanish neighbors, it perfectly reflects what we most want today in the media...to walk around, to stroll, to sip good wine in the sun, to sip a refreshing gin at nightfall, all with good friends and lots of laughter! And (forgive the lack of humidity) we're in the best place for that... Lisbon, our beautiful and captivating city, with its splendid light. A scenery that mixes a clear...
