Porto, Portugal  Watercolor Adventure
May 23-30, 2025

General Description:

Porto, Portugal,  Friday 5/23-Friday 5/30
Along the Douro River you’ll find the scenic city of Porto….

Porto, Portugal!  Join me for a week in what Rick Steves calls “the capital of Portugal’s north,” at the start of the Douro Valley, where the Douro River flows out to meet the Atlantic Ocean,  Together we will explore the art and architecture of the city, ride the funicular for spectacular views, and take a day to cruise the river and taste some Portuguese foods and wines, checking out the local markets.  We will also tour the centuries-old port houses across the river from our apartment accommodations in the desirable Ribeira neighborhood. And let’s not forget, every day we will find a painting location for our artwork!

This watercolor workshop will run from May 23-30, 2025.  Flights can be planned into Porto, or you may opt to spend some time in Lisbon and come and go from there.  Estimated costs for the workshop, Douro tour, and accommodations will be approximately $1700 for the week, per person, double occupancy.
