Stories, Photography and Travel in Portugal
Tapa ao Sal is an independent Portuguese travel and photography project sharing authentic stories, guides and images from across Portugal.
Our Story
Tapa ao Sal was born in 2015 by Sofia and Sérgio, a couple who turned their passion for travelling and discovering Portugal into a shared project.
What started as a simple blog to document places, traditions and hidden corners soon grew into a loyal community of readers. Photography gradually became central to the project, opening the door to professional work as well.
Today, Tapa ao Sal is more than a travel blog — it is a creative brand that brings together travel stories, original photography and digital projects, always with authenticity at its core.
These are the values that define Tapa ao Sal:
