In times gone by, oranges were used to decorate Christmas trees in the Algarve, highlighting the significance of this citrus fruit to the region's culture.

The aim of this workshop is to build storytelling around a product. We will explore how stories develop identities that represent places and products and determine people’s perception of places. We will show participants the historical and cultural importance of this fruit with a visit to a region where the orange is king.

Touted as the "orange capital", the municipality of Silves boasts some of the best orange groves. We’ll have the opportunity to visit a family-owned orange grove in the city and to make the famous torta de laranja or “orange roll”.
