Join Brent as he explores Palmela, Portugal, uncovering hidden gems you won’t find in any guidebook! 🇵🇹

🥐 First stop: a secret bakery tucked away on a dirt road high on a hill — known only to locals and serving some of the most delicious Portuguese bread around.

🏺 Then, step back in time with a visit to ancient Iron Age ruins overlooking the countryside.

🍷 Finally, Brent ends the day at one of his favorite wineries in all of Portugal, sampling incredible local wines and sharing what makes this region so special.
