Overseas Adventure Travel® YOUR O.A.T. ADVENTURE TRAVEL PLANNING GUIDE® Iberian Voyage: Lisbon to Barcelona 2022 Small Groups: 20-25 travelers—guaranteed! (average of 22) Overseas Adventure Travel ® The Leader in Personalized Small Group Adventures on the Road Less Traveled 1 Dear Traveler, At last, the world is opening up again for curious travel lovers like you and me. And the O.A.T. Iberian Voyage: Lisbon to Barcelona itinerary you’ve expressed interest in will be a wonderful way to resume the discoveries that bring us so much joy. You might soon be enjoying standout moments like these: As a lover of art, Malaga holds a special place in my heart—after all, it is the birthplace of renowned artist Pablo Picasso, a fact that the local people are very proud of. You’ll meet some of them and hear their perspectives on Picasso and his legacy when you share a meal with a local family. Savor the flavors of a home-cooked meal and take this opportunity to connect with Spanish culture on a deeper level as you see the family go about their daily routine. You’ll also see another side of Iberian culture when you visit Tangier, Morocco where we’ll meet the founder of a female empowerment center to learn about the struggles that women face in this male-dominated society. We’ll gain insights into this patriarchal society and hear her perspectives on the progress that has been made, and her hopes for the future. The way we see it, you’ve come a long way to experience the true culture—not some fairytale version of it. So we keep our groups small, with only 20-25 travelers (average 22) to ensure that your encounters with local people are as intimate and authentic as possible. It’s also why your O.A.T. Trip Experience Leader will be a resident “insider” who can show you the culture as only a local can. To ensure that your adventure is truly unique, put your own personal stamp on it. You can arrive early and stay later, add a pre- or post-trip extension, spend time in a Stopover city, or combine two or more trips. Plus, your itinerary offers ample free time so you can pursue your own interests. So until the day comes when you are off to enjoy your Iberian Voyage: Lisbon to Barcelona adventure, I hope you will relish the fun and anticipation that this O.A.T. Adventure Travel Planning Guide® will inspire. Should you have further questions, feel free to call our Regional Adventure Counselors at 1-800-955-1925. Love and peace, Harriet R.

  • And the Long Shadow of the Peninsular War Against Napoleon
    The Portuguese Expeditionary Corps in France (1917-18) and the Long Shadow of the Peninsular War against Napoleon Filipe Ribeiro de Meneses1 Abstract The dispatch of the Portuguese Expeditionary Corps (CEP) to France in 1917 was envisaged by Portuguese interventionists as an affirmation of Portugal’s desire to reclaim an independent role in world affairs, emerging from the shadow of British influence. However, the CEP relied on the much larger British Expeditionary Force for instruction, supply, and guidance. The relationship between the two armies was fraught with difficulty and cultural misunderstandings due in large measure to a very different reading of their joint campaign against Napoleon in the Peninsular War, fought a century earlier. The British desire to correct the CEP’s shortcomings was interpreted within the CEP as a desire to subjugate the Portuguese and to take credit for whatever they might accomplish on the battlefield. Keywords World War One; Portugal; Beresford; Armies; Memory Resumo O envio do Corpo Expedicionário Português (CEP) para França, em 1917, representou, para a corrente intervencionista portuguesa, a afirmação do desejo nacional de recuperar um papel independente na cena mundial, libertando Portugal da influência britânica. Porém, o CEP dependia da Força Expedicionária Britânica, muito maior do que ele, para a sua instrução, abastecimento e liderança. A relação entre os dois exércitos ficou marcada por dificuldades várias e desentendimentos culturais que resultavam em parte de leituras diferentes da campanha comum, um século antes, contra Napoleão, durante a Guerra Peninsular. O desejo britânico de corrigir os defeitos do CEP foi interpretado no seio deste como uma vontade de subjugar os Portugueses e ficar com os louros por eles conquistados no campo de batalha.

  • Fish, Coriander and Fantasy
    The Portuguese Menu: fish, coriander and fantasy ABOUT The Portuguese Menu: fish, coriander and fantasy Portugal by... Condé Nast Traveler Portugal faces the Atlantic, smells of the Atlantic, breathes the Atlantic, has an Atlantic soul... but its cuisine is more Mediterranean than it seems. A paradox! The three essentials of the Portuguese diet are wheat (delicious bread), wine (wonderful reds and whites) and olive oil (very aromatic), called the "Mediterranean triad", which suggests a strong bond with its neighbours to the east. The Portuguese love olives; they eat a lot of cheese and use sautéed onion and garlic as the basis of almost all their dishes. All very Mediterranean customs. However, coriander is the national aromatic herb. Ginger and chillies give an exotic touch to some of the dishes, such as the popular "piri-piri" chicken, garnished with a chilli sauce which also goes perfectly with barbecued fish. Across the country, it is known as "frango da Guia" (charcoal-grilled chicken), its fame being traditionally associated with a restaurant in the Algarve. If we were to define a Portuguese menu - no easy task because there are so many specialties to choose from – the following dishes could not be left out. And take care in ordering these delicacies in restaurants because the servings are all XXL size. Starters, to whet your appetite Cheese, olives, butter and olive oil The cheese might be from Serra da Estrela, creamy sheep’s cheese that is shaped and wrapped in a cloth while it's fresh. The result is a tasty cheese with a slightly acidic-bitter aftertaste.

    Market Flavours 60 X 30 MINUTES EPISODIC BREAKDOWN 1. Peniche The wharf is the first contact between the fish and the land, even before arriving at the markets or other stores. In Peniche, a town known for the quality of its fish, Sebastião just had to visit the wharf. It was there that we accompanied the arrival of the fresh fish, in a tour guided by someone who knows the business well. 2. Nazare In the city of the seven skirts, Sebastião Castilho is inspired by the local delicacies to create dried- fish bread dish and a banana and honey cake with vanilla cream. 3. Caldas de Rainha In Caldas da Rainha, Sebastião Castilho visits two markets a short distance from each other: the fish and the produce market. In each of them, he finds the ingredients to make stuffed spider crab and mollusc pasta. 4. Torres Vendras In Torres Vedras, Sebastião Castilho finds a modern and busy market. It is there where he finds everything he needs to make a vegetable soup and colourful chips. 5. Santarem Sebastião Castilho visits the market of Santarém and a breakfast cooked on a brazier inspires him for today’s meal: rapini rice with fried whitebait sardines and “farófias” and custard with strings of caramel. 6. Viana de Castelo © Off The Fence 2014 1 Sebastião Castilho surrenders to the beauty of Viana do Castelo and to the freshness of its products.

    A O R I G I N A L D E S D E 1 8 6 0 Salgadinhos Há mais de um século a confeitaria Cavé é parada obrigatória em uma visita ao centro da cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Entrar nela é voltar ao passado, reviver um pouco do Rio Antigo, dos tempos felizes e tenros que deram lugar à correria e aos lanches velozes das cadeias fast-food. A CAVÉ FOI CRIADA EM 05/03/1860. É A MAIS ANTIGA CONFEITARIA DA CIDADE DO RIO DE JANEIRO. FOI FUNDADA POR CHARLES AUGUSTE CAVÉ, FRANCÊS QUE FICOU A FRENTE DO NEGÓCIO ATÉ 1922. Não havia quem não passasse pela esquina das ruas Uruguaiana e Sete de Setembro e não parasse para conferir o belo prédio e ver sair da cozinha taças de sorvete tão enfeitadas que pareciam verdadeiras obras de arte. Eram criações tão mágicas e surpreendentes, que aguçavam o apetite até de quem não gostava muito de sorvete. A arquitetura marcante da Cavé possui influência de diversos países. Lustres, vitrais e vidros em geral eram franceses; as cadeiras e as mesas foram projetadas por Cólon, um espanhol que residia no Brasil; e as luminárias eram brasileiras. As linhas e formas também se aplicavam às famosas formas de sorvetes, cujos traços remetiam a galinhas, pirâmides e cestas de pêssego, por exemplo. A Confeitaria Cavé sempre foi freqüentada pelas pessoas mais nobres da cidade, que dividiam espaços nos salões com outros cariocas. Há registros de que o prefeito Pereira Passos, responsável por uma das maiores obras de arruamento já registrada na cidade, era habitué da casa.
