In Portugal, when it's time to get out the booze, it's often a small glass of medronho that you're offered: a strong and fragrant brandy from the strawberry tree. At least in the south of the country, because it is in the hot and dry lands that this shrub acclimatizes best. The medronho museum exhibits the cultivation techniques of the arbutus, its life cycle, its economy and its ecological value. The establishment is an exhibition, a distillery, a store and a tasting stand. There is also liqueur and even gin from the strawberry tree! Here's to you..
