Portugal: the mystery of volcanic stew, the most famous (and tourist) dish of the Azores
Malaga, the best luxury resort in Spain and among the top 10 in Europe
It is time to enjoy the
closest nature
in its purest state, either having breakfast on the porch of a bungalow among pine forests, on the edge of an
infinity pool
overlooking the sea, feeding the chickens in a hotel-farm or signing up for a gardening session in a country house.
Next, we detail all these options between Spain and Portugal.
Ecotourism on the Portuguese coast
If there is a way to sleep in the middle of nature that is more fashionable than ever, that is
gampling.
Or
luxury
tents
with all imaginable comforts in a unique landscape. This is what Ohai Resort serves on a tray, an eight-hectare complex that also has cozy bungalows for up to six people immersed in the
largest pine
forest
reserve
on the Iberian Peninsula. The exact place is the Atlantic coast of Portugal, just three kilometers from the center of Nazaré, a small
fishing village
famous for surfing the largest wave in the world. For this reason, one of the outdoor activities that Ohai Resort proposes is surfing, as well as water skiing,
hiking, biking, 4x4 or horse riding and canoeing
in the surroundings.
Within the complex there is also the largest swimming pool in Europe made with recycled containers from a ship.
There is more: spa,
water park
, restaurant ...
Overview of the Ohai Resort.
Infinity pool with sea and mountain views
It does not have a jewel in the crown, but five in the form of idyllic swimming pools, including an infinity one located on the roof with
unique 360º views of
the Mediterranean and the
Costa del Sol.
All are in the Higuerón Hotel Curio Collection by Hilton, a five-star located in the bay of Fuengirola. There, one can disconnect (for real) both in the aforementioned pools (the
infinity pool
offers dj sessions every day) and in its spa between steam baths,
hydrotherapy cabins, jacuzzis
or thermal pools. The gastronomic chapter stars the
Sollo restaurant
, directed by Diego Gallegos, holder of
a Michelin star
and a green star for its 100% sustainable cuisine.
Gallegos is known as
the chef of caviar,
since the restaurant has, apart from its own garden, ponds for sturgeon and river caviar.
Another culinary essential is the
Arara Bistro Bar, a
fusion of Brazilian, Peruvian, Asian and Andalusian.

Gardener (and cook) for a day
Anyone who wants to
spend a day collecting
cabbages, peppers, lettuces and tomatoes and then, of course, taste them, either
raw or cooking them
for lunch or dinner, can do so in many of the Ruralka accommodations, the quality club of more of
200 hotels and houses for
full
rental
with charm throughout Spain and Portugal. Some time ago the network decided to create
The Country Chef
label
,
a tribute to chefs who from valleys, towns and mountains are able to bring dishes with local
products
and different preparations
to their diners' table
. Thus, guests of hotels such as La
Samitier Abbey
of the Aragonese Pyrenees, the
La Era
de Almedinilla guesthouse (Córdoba), the
Castillo del Buen Amor
in Salamanca, the
Portizuelo
de Luarca
farm
(Asturias) or the
Jesuskoa hotel
within the Zumaia geopark, just 20 minutes from San Sebastián.

A farm to enjoy with the family
This proposal is dedicated above all to the smallest of the house, since they are the ones who will most enjoy activities such as feeding
Vietnamese pigs
, chickens or
dwarf goats
, two of the star guests of the Évora Farm Hotel & Spa . It is a new rural resort belonging to the Portuguese group Discovery Hotel Management (DHM), with sustainable and
design accommodations
spread throughout the neighboring country. The hallmark of this located in the town of
Évora,
in the heart of Alentejo, is his farm, with countless proposals to carry out in contact with nature and
as a family.
From the educational farm to astronomical days at night.
It has 57 rooms and three villas, five pools,
a children's room
, a gym and a spa with an indoor pool, a sauna, a Turkish bath, and two treatment rooms.
