The Rituals We Don’t Tell Tourists About

Uncovering the traditions of the world’s forgotten corners

No clichés. No pretence. Just pure Hungry Culture.

"The kind of trip where the detours tell better stories than the destinations.
This is where the guidebook ends and the good stories start."

THE HUNGRY DETOUR

Beyond the Postcards

All the detours, wrong turns, and unplanned stops along the way
will make the trip worth mapping

From dodging potholes on coastal roads to discovering villages where entire populations seem to vanish until it's time to throw something at one another, these routes prioritize authentic culture over Instagrammable moments.

We map the back roads through Alentejo, the forgotten fortresses of the Spanish border, and the places where guidebooks fear to tread.
