Hero Background

Padas de Vale de Ílhavo with a taste of the sea - bike tour (Balão Mágico)

Visit to the Macroalgae Production Unit + Traditional Milling in Vale de Ílhavo

The bread of Vale de Ílhavo (the "padas" and "folares") is one of the most iconic food products of the region. Over the years, and despite maintaining traditional production in a wood-fired oven and kneading the dough by hand, some innovative touches have been introduced, without losing any of the original flavor and tradition! This visit is an excellent opportunity to see for yourself how it is possible to combine the old and the modern in a sustainable and incredibly delicious way! Will you miss it?
