About Rota Portugal

Rota Portugal roughly translates to the Portuguese Route, or perhaps the Route to Portugal. What is Rota Portugal? Well, we hope Rota Portugal will become your compass to exploring everything that Portugal offers.

Who is Rota Portugal

Rota Portugal was born from a collective passion for Portugal, our home. We are a team of travel enthusiasts, cultural connoisseurs, and storytelling aficionados, we’ve set out to chart the expansive beauty of Portugal for adventurers and armchair travelers alike. Our founder, Ollie, started with a simple blog documenting his weekend trips. It soon grew into a vibrant community, inspiring us to create a dedicated space for all things Portugal.

Our Philosophy – The Fabric of Portuguese Life

We embrace the road less traveled, as well as celebrate those places that are the very reason Portugal has gained world wide attention. We adore both the world famous culinary delights, as well as those only locally known. We immerse ourselves in the local legends and festivals that knit the fabric of Portuguese life.

Rota Portugal is not just about landmarks, it’s about lifestyle – the art of slow travel and a sense of discovery.

That lifestyle is one we want to share. Our mission extends beyond a simple guidebook. We aim to be the bridge that connects your dreams of a Portuguese life to reality. Whether you’re looking to experience a peaceful village or a cosmopolitan city like Lisbon, we’ll guide you through the process of making Portugal your own.
