Some destinations have great names in art and painting such as Gaudi, Rembrandt and Picasso whose House Museums attract tourists.

Now imagine something even more intimate and distinctive in Portugal:

As well as visiting the museum of Portugal's greatest painter, Amadeo de Sousa Cardoso, located in the city centre of Amarante, you can be received by the artist's own family, take part in a painting workshop and enjoy a food and wine experience in a traditional Portuguese quinta.

Visit Amarante and discover ‘one of the world's best-kept secrets of modern art’, get to know its gastronomy and its unique green wines, far from the usual routes and crowds.
