OUR HISTORY
Artes Aljezur is a branch of the pioneering ‘Burros e Artes’ project that began in Aljezur in 2008. It was Founded by Elsa Ribeiro, who is dedicated to the arts, and Sofia von Mentzingen, who specialises in donkeys,
This initiative resulted from the union of their talents and passions to combine donkey rides through nature with traditional arts and crafts, offering varied experiences in the discovery of this region, its nature, culture and traditions.
André da Costa joined the project in 2021 in collaboration with Artes, organising the experiences, allowing Elsa to develop her passion for creating artistic handicrafts.

WHAT WE DO
Artes-Aljezur is an inclusive space for creativity and learning, where tradition meets nature. Our experiences are a journey to explore art, appreciate the beauty of the coast and immerse yourself in the local culture.
We offer art workshops, donkey rides through nature in perfect combination with the pottery workshop on a potter's wheel powered by your own legs, as well as regular classes for those who wish to deepen their artistic knowledge. The activities are open to all ages and nationalities.
Our art, inspired by the coast, reflects the unique essence of the region.
Join us on this journey and discover the magic of Donkeys and Art!
