Portugal

When we hear about Lisbon, it is usually because of its history, architecture and also its gastronomy. Prestigious and charismatic, the city has staked its future on the tourism industry. This is how the city of the seven hills became one of the most popular and requested European capitals by those who do not know it yet. 

Its history dates back to the 12th century and is still present in the streets, architecture and glazed tiles spread throughout the city. Its mild climate also allows you to visit it all year round and enjoy the sunshine even during the winter. Bathed by the Tagus River, Lisbon welcomes and fascinates all those who visit it and remains in the hearts of the ones who promise to return. 

Porto is a coastal city located along the Douro River in northern Portugal. Its historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is famous for its picturesque narrow streets and colorful buildings. Its coastal location makes it a popular destination for beach and water sports enthusiasts alike.

Porto is also renowned for its wine, in particular the fortified wine known as Porto wine, which is produced in the famous Douro Valley with its magnificent scenery. All in all, Porto is a charming and historic city with much to offer visitors, from its magnificent architecture and cultural attractions to its vibrant atmosphere and beautiful coastal setting.

Located in the south of Portugal, the Algarve is a dream destination known for its golden sandy beaches that stretch for miles along the Atlantic coast. The crystal-clear waters and spectacular rock formations are ideal for swimming and water sports. Its mild Mediterranean climate, with around 300 days of sunshine a year, allows you to visit the Algarve all year round. It is a region rich in history and culture, with Moorish influences still visible in its architecture as well as its gastronomy.

Being passionate about the tourism sector, Andrea always knew this was the path she had to follow in life. Although she started my professional career working as a tour guide, which came in very handy to have a better notion of onsite logistics, I quickly shifting to a DMC and starting to work in the MICE department in 2015. From there she started to grow and develop more and more experience in the segment. Andrea came to SPICE Portugal as a Senior Project Manager in January 2023 as the team expanded. 2023 was a busy and exciting year with some amazing events, but we hope to make 2024 a truly magical year.
