Ethnography and Traditions in Aldeia de Torres
In Aldeia de Torres, by its lagoon, reed and rush grow.

Walking Experience
Starting in the village of Torres, we walk through fields and vineyards to discover the history, traditions, and ethnography of this place.
From the Torres lagoon to the Bairrada vineyards, from clay soils to sandy soils, from adobe architecture to art nouveau, and the transformation of the reed and rush plant by local artisans.
Working and creating a piece takes place at the learning workshop in Casa Adega, which leads us into the ethnography of these people and this place.
We taste local gastronomy and, at the end, we toast with a flute of Bairrada sparkling wine.
