{"id":95,"name":"Lu\u00eds Castelo","url":"","description":"## About Luis Castelo\r\n\r\nLuis Castelo is the founder and host of **Oficina Oito**, a unique creative and culinary space in Lisbon where food, culture, and craftsmanship come together through immersive experiences. Passionate about bringing people together, Luis has spent years creating intimate workshops, private dining events, and hands-on cultural experiences that celebrate Portuguese traditions.\r\n\r\nRather than a traditional restaurant, Oficina Oito was designed as a welcoming home-like space where guests can learn, create, and connect. From Portuguese cooking classes and interactive dinners to traditional azulejo tile painting workshops, every experience reflects Luis's belief that the best way to discover Portugal is by participating in its culture.\r\n\r\nKnown for his warm hospitality and attention to detail, Luis collaborates with talented local artists and chefs to offer authentic experiences that go beyond sightseeing. His goal is simple: to create memorable moments where visitors leave not only with new skills and handmade souvenirs, but with a genuine connection to Lisbon and its traditions.","link":"https:\/\/handson.pt\/pt\/teacher\/luis-castelo\/","slug":"luis-castelo","avatar_urls":{"24":"https:\/\/handson.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Chef-workshop-sushi-1-150x150.jpeg","48":"https:\/\/handson.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Chef-workshop-sushi-1-150x150.jpeg","96":"https:\/\/handson.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Chef-workshop-sushi-1-150x150.jpeg"},"meta":[],"user_switching_url":null,"elementor_introduction":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/handson.pt\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/95","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/handson.pt\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users"}]}}
