Portugal Por Favor! 2026
Cascais, Portugal
Portugal Por Favor! 2026
Our trip to Portugal was one of our very first and has truly become a flagship experience for The Getaway Co. – and for good reason. Led by our wonderful local tour leader, Cátia, this special Getaway offers a warm and cozy feeling to all of our guests. With that said, we are excited to return once again in 2026 to one of our very favourite places.
As always, we’ll call the town of Cascais home and during our time there we will embark on a week of delicious vegan food experiences, lots of fun excursions, and we’ll enjoy an endless supply of laughter and connections.
We will stay once again with our friends at Casa Vela Hotel which feels like our own little tropical paradise right in the centre of peaceful Cascais. Trip highlights include: a tour of lovely Cascais, a visit to Sintra to tour the historical Pena Palace, a traditional tile painting workshop, a Portuguese wine tasting (all vegan of course), a city tour through Lisbon, an optional yoga class and lots of time to relax, connect and enjoy!
And the best part? Everything is vegan and we organize the whole trip for you! All you have to do is show up at the Lisbon airport where we’ll pick you up, and then you can let the relaxation begin! So don’t wait to book and we hope to see you in beautiful Portugal for this culture-rich experience again in 2026!
Join us for Portugal Por Favor 2026!
