What you will visit:
Food & Cultural Walking Tour of Funchal
Funchal is the foodie capital of Portugal. Wear comfortable shoes and stroll through its historical streets on a four-hour guided culinary adventure. Interact with restauranteurs and the city's gourmet specialty grocers as you sample regional and local favorites. At each stop, enjoy a generous sample of the specialty of the house and sip Madeira wine, local beer, Portuguese wines, 'Poncha' and refreshing Portuguese Tea. Around every corner enjoy the captivating historical buildings and colonial architecture as your guide shares the city's fascinating 600-year history.
What you will see along the way:
A stroll through Old Town, with its characteristic cobblestone streets and old facades, is an opportunity to glimpse its great architectural and historical value. In the center of the enclave is 15th-century Corpo Santo Chapel and one of the city's oldest streets, Rua de Santa Maria, which has been revitalized by Funchal's 'Arte Portas Abertas' project, which commissioned local artists to turn old doorways into creative and colorful works of art.
Tastings:
Have a light breakfast (or lunch), as there is much to eat on this mouth-watering adventure. Your relaxed walk offers a hands-on experience of Madeira's food trends and city culture. You never know what's around the corner, but the list of delicacies you will try may include:
Best homemade local pastry in town
Famous Madeira honey cake
Local Fresh Cheese
Delicious local fish 'espada'
Succulent grilled tuna
Homemade chocolates tasting
Madeira wine
