What to expect

Enjoy a leisurely stroll through Seixal’s charming old town before you begin your in-home dining experience. This relaxed walk, lasting about 20 to 40 minutes, allows plenty of time to soak in the local atmosphere. Along the way, you can discover the town’s unique character: from the peaceful waterfront, where birds and crabs can often be spotted, to local fishermen mending their nets. The route passes historic landmarks such as the famous old cork factory, the beautiful parish church, and a park with a stunning viewpoint overlooking the bay. If the sun has not yet set, you might even witness one of Seixal’s unforgettable sunsets. This scenic walk to Joana and João’s apartment is always done on foot, offering a truly authentic introduction to the town.

At Joana and João’s Seixal apartment, enjoy a creative home-cooked Portuguese meal paired with local wine or fresh lemonade. The menu features vegetarian and pescatarian specialties such as baked cod with chickpeas, vegetarian rojões à minhota, and Portuguese brás-style tofu, ending with a sweet treat like cheesecake. While dining, learn about Seixal’s history and culture from your local hosts.
