The Magic Potion

How it went

Dear EESTECers, Asterix and Obelix are inviting you to their village. 🛡️ Somewhere in the north of Portugal, lost among the hills, there's a small village that time mostly forgot — and that no empire ever quite managed to conquer. No Romans (well, a few, but they keep their distance), no rush — just stone houses, smoke rising from the chimneys, and a people who still believe most problems can be solved over a long meal with friends. You know the story: one tiny village, surrounded on all sides, holding out thanks to good food, good company and a certain magic potion. This September that village is Vinhais — and Asterix, Obelix and the whole gang are opening the gates for our very first IMW. 🏡 Our druid has been brewing something in the cauldron all summer. We can't give you the recipe, but we can give you the ingredients: hearty traditional Portuguese food, mountains straight out of a storybook, and three days to gather round the fire like a proper Gaulish village. So bring your appetite and your worst Latin. These Romans are crazy — our village isn't. Come find us. 🍖 Wait, what does the potion include? 🛏️ Accommodation for 2 nights 🍽️ Meals with traditional Portuguese food 🧪 A cup of magic potion waiting for you on arrival 🥾 A hike through the magic mountains around the village 🥳 Two nights of parties by the fire 🇵🇹 A proper taste of Trás-os-Montes Only 40 spots in the village — make sure one is yours!
