At least, this week’s line up is full of fun indoor events and includes: Free Portuguese Classes🇵🇹, birthday parties🎂, blind wine-tasting🍷 & new workshops.
If thats not enough and you still find yourself wondering what to do during a stint of rain, check out this extensive list of rainy day ideas we made for you 😊.
