Van de Barbara

We are Barbara and Jesus, a couple that values a contact with nature, adventure and surfing. The desire to share the good side of life and enjoy freedom, made us create Salvandor.

Salvandor used to be an ambulance van, saving lives. Nowadays, it saves you from routine and takes you on a safe, unforgettable adventure! We designed it from the first wood cut and converted it into a comfortable van, fully equipped with carefully considered details, that you can check below.

After many trips with Salvan, we know, that sometimes driving makes you tired. Not in the mood for cooking. Or spending money in the restaurants. Thanks to Jesus, a professional chef with years of experience, our van comes with a free menu of his unique recipes for easy, tasty food on the go! On the menu that you receive with a reservation, you can pre-order his unique home-made sauces and stocks (bolognese, vegan bolognese, napoli, breakfast shakshuka, shrimp stock, and vegetarian stock) and save a lot of time with cooking, while traveling in Salvandor! :) For all this content follow us on Instagram site and see if this is the van you are looking for (QR code is among the pictures).

We are based in Peniche, Baleal, one of the best surf spots in Europe; awesome waves, stunning cliffs and hidden beaches. Start your van trip here and easily continue all around Portugal!

Enjoy your new experience, hit the road and tell us about your adventure!
