Painting Holiday Europe at Portugal's Figs on the Funcho 2020

Cheryl, organiser of the walkingholiday, is passionate about Portugal; holidaying, exploring, experiencing new creative hobbies, good food, joyful living, well-being and mindful connection, especially with regard to a healthy work-life balance. Having visited the Algarve for more than 20 years she is keen to share her Algarve experience with you as she loves to explore the area, find new beaches, restaurants and activities, visit the traditional villages nearby. And she can spend hours in the local markets, surrounded by the colours and scents of locally grown produce and exploring the beautiful un-spoilt Algarve contryside where she can get away from technology and the distractions of modern day life.

I see colours in trees and clouds which I never saw before. I pay so much more attention to colours and shapes and lines in all the nature I see. Also, I have been using your recipes and my family and friends are huge fans! Especially the lentils with cherry tomatoes and sweet potatoes. We seem to be working our way through huge amounts of it. “ - Ramla******“After spending a week relaxing to the peaceful sound of birds and goat bells, enjoying walks through the surrounding landscape, and lounging around the poolside after lively morning art sessions, I returned home and I’ve been able to put a lot of energy into creative pursuits. I just finished a 30 day sketch challenge, doing a bird a day in any medium, to keep me practicing regularly. I came back from the holiday very inspired. I’m even writing again and participating in National Novel Writing Month. I hope to make it back some day “ - AmyVisit our website for more <a href="https://figsonthefuncho.com/reviews" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">reviews</a>
