Elaine publishes a beautiful and informative newsletter that is available for download on her website.

  • Easter in the Real Portugal: A Rather Special Botanical Painting Holiday – April 3 – 13, 2010.

Meals in typical local restaurants and short excursions will give you a flavor of an authentic Easter in Portugal. Location: Olhao, Eastern Algarve, Portugal.
