Had a great day . Informative personable Luís took us to Loule market, Portuguese sweets and coffee then off to the Cork factory tour. Very well presented , we will never see a cork in the same light. Great lunch at a local restaurant and a tour of the costume museum. Wonderful day! Good value! The newly retired!
