Brief Overview: During the Age of

Discovery, the Portuguese people

took to the sea and colonized much

of Africa and South America between

1325 and 1700. The country’s

rugged coastline, scenic views and

city monuments remind visitors of this

nautical heritage. The maze-like

narrow streets and alleys of the

Alfama area of Lisbon provide the

perfect place for a cultural Scavenger

Hunt that will lead to the discovery of

many amazing sights, including the

Jeronimos Monastery in Belem.

Visitors to Lisbon will quickly notice

that the Portuguese “canvas” of

choice for centuries has been tile

painting. Beautiful murals adorn the

sides of common buildings, churches and museums alike. The traditional music of Fado can be heard and

enjoyed in restaurants and clubs at night. Nature lovers will enjoy a peaceful yoga and surf retreat or

exploring the ruins and zip-line at Sintra. Check out the SAS Fall 2013 Student Photo Gallery.

Out of town: Marvao and Portalegre offer a cool, relaxing alternative to the hot, crowded southern beaches of

the Algarve.

LIS 103-101 LISBON & DISCOVERY TOUR Half Day

You will head to the

Belém area where you

will visit the Jeronimos

Monastery. This

monument, designed in

the Manueline style,

was built in the 16th

century, under the

orders of Manuel I, to

commemorate Vasco da

Gama's successful

return from India. Next,

you will visit the Maritime Museum, just next door. This is one of the most

important museums in Europe, evoking Portugal's domination of the

seas. It houses model ships from the Age of Discovery to present day.

Next, you will visit Confeitaria Nacional to taste the famous Pastel de

Belém. Across the street, you will visit the Belém Tower and the Monument to Discoveries. The Belem Toward was

built in 1515 as a fortress to guard the entrance to Lisbon's

harbor. It was the starting point for many of the voyages of

discovery, and was the last sight sailors had of their homeland. The

Monument to Discoveries was built in 1960 to commemorate the

500th anniversary of the death of Prince Henry the Navigator. It

represents a three-sailed ship ready to depart, with sculptures of

important historical figures.

LIS 201-201 MARVAO, CASTELO DE VIDE, & PORTALEGRE 2 Days/ 1 Night

Marvão is a medieval walled

village built up on steep rock.

At an altitude of 860 meters, it

overlooks a barren scene of

endless, almost volcanic, rocky

outcrops. Castelo de Vide is a

quaint little place for a short

visit, with its dazzling, white,

ancient cottages huddle

around a castle. In the 13th

century, it served as a place

for young couples to flock. Shoppers flock to Portalegre to sample the

world-renowned wool industry—tapestries that are extraordinarily detailed

and tightly-woven woolen reproductions of paintings are most popular.

Day 1: Drive by air-conditioned motorcoach to Alter do Chão. Visit the

great state horse-breeding establishment with rare equine breeds ,such as the Lusitano. Next, stop at Crato, where

the fortified Monastery of Flor da Rosa lies. After lunch, at the Pousada of Crato, proceed to Marvão. The road to

walls surrounding the castle town.

Day 2: After breakfast at the hotel, visit Marvão, resting between Castelo de Vide and the border of Spain. Continue

the tour towards Castelo de Vide. The town covers the slopes around the 14th century castle. Many of the little

whitewashed cottages have Gothic doors and windows, especially on the Jewish quarter. Enjoy lunch at Castelo de

Vide. After lunch, drive to Portalegre, in the foothills of the Mountain of São Mamede. The streets leading up to the

LIS 204-201 ALGARVE 2 Days/ 1 Night

Depart from Lisbon towards

the region of Algarve, famous

for its temperate climate and

sandy beaches.

Travel past the cultivated

and picturesque Algarve

countryside toward Silves,

the former capital of the

Moorish province of Algarve.

The city retains its proper character and an interesting historical center.

Visit the castle, built in original Moorish architecture and enjoy the views

from the town.

You will then head north to the foothills of the Serra de Monchique, a

green and wooded mountain range of cork, chestnut, and eucalyptus.

From here, you will go to Alvor, famous for its deluxe and private resorts where you will enjoy some time to relax

and have lunch at a local restaurant.

After lunch, visit the historical town of Lagos (Google it!). The sturdy medieval walls of Lagos testify to its

importance in the 15th century, when shipyards built the caravels. Reminders of the past can be seen around

every corner, including the site of Europe’s first slave market and the ornately gilded Chapel of Saint Anthony. Drive

to the Hotel in Praia da Rocha for dinner and an overnight stay.

In the morning, search for the enigmatic dolphins off the Algarve coast! Sadly, most people only ever get to see

dolphins in captivity. This is an opportunity to see them in their natural environment! The RIBS (Rigid Inflatable

Boat) are the same as those used by the Coastguard and Greenpeace, conforming to the highest of safety

standards. This tour offers spectacular sea views of the Algarve coastline as well as the deeper offshore waters

where the dolphins can be found.

Please Note: This tour is not suitable for those with injuries or conditions, which may be affected by the bumpy ride. A degree

of agility is required when boarding the RIB. Pregnant women and children under 6 may not participate. If you are prone to

seasickness, please take the necessary precautions. Prior to boarding, you will be given a safety briefing. The tour is subject

to weather and sea conditions and may be cancelled on the morning of arrival in port. Passengers are advised that whilst

every effort will be made to find the dolphins, these animals are in their natural habitat and sightings cannot be guaranteed.

LIS 116-401 COOKING EXPERIENCE Half Day

It is through gastronomy that

one may discover the most

genuine characteristics of a

country. Experience the

Portuguese way around the table,

at a workshop with a fully

equipped kitchen, where you will

first taste some appetizers. This

means, a glass of wine,

traditional bread, Portuguese

country sausages, cheese, and olive oil.

After this introduction you will get down to business as you prepare the starters, the main

course and dessert. Everything in this workshop will relate to Portuguese traditional

gastronomy, some of it sharing century old recipes created at monasteries. The workshop

will end at the table, where you will have the chance to savor all the delicacies you have

cooked.
