The Otterside

Bespoke tours, travel and living advice in Portugal

Philoxenia (φιλοξενία): A love of hospitality and kindness toward strangers

Welcome to the Otterside!

Our mission is to enable anyone and everyone to experience Portugal as active participants rather than passive observers — as peers rather than outsiders.

We offer customizable tours, monument visits, craft workshops, language classes, accommodation, food and wine tastings, and more, to travelers, foreign residents and non-native citizens alike.

We liaise primarily with other small businesses, artists, artisans and independent service providers, listed here.

Portugal awaits! Don’t be a stranger.
