For who
For anyone who likes drawing, tranquility, nature and a little luxury camping combined with nice trips and good food in a beautiful environment. The drawing trip is for both beginners and the more advanced.
Besides drawing there is plenty of opportunity to relax, experience the authentic atmosphere of the area and get acquainted with the Portuguese way of life. It is a vacation first and foremost, so we draw in a relaxed and casual atmosphere. Two fun excursions are planned to get to know the (food) culture and the region better.
Group size
A small group of minimum 6 and maximum 8 people.
