Travel Blogs from Portugal
across the pond
This is a top pick! ... but it appears they did not turn out as a result. The Monastery took fifty years to complete and was built grand as Portugal was in the midst of vast wealth during this time from the India spice trade. I really enjoyed Lisbon - very laid ...
on the douro...by the sea
This is a top pick! lovin it here.....really unique place. Porto lines the banks of the douro river as it flows into the Atlantic. The old part of the city also clings to a few very steep hills, good exercise ambling around town. Definitely a different feel to Madrid, much ...
Loving Loule
This is a top pick! ... as the Dordogne, the firewood pile is a status symbol. The neater and squarer and of course the larger the better! Houses in Portugal have much smaller stocks but the one I made from the tree trimmings was designed to be admired!. Each time we checked ...
A weekend with the windy West Coast waves
This is a top pick! ... (ahem) we were packed and ready to leave for a weekend jaunt to the allegedly very lovely, rugged and windswept West Coast of Portugal. Except Brian wouldn't start as she had a flat battery, which was odd because it had only ten days since we had ...
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
This is a top pick! ... quite a few different places, even had a stint in hospital, but what really stands out in my mind has been the reaquaintence with Portugal, so why stop when you are having fun. This weeks destination is the capital, a place we haven't been to in over ...
Bom Dia!
This is a top pick! ... ingress in the back windows is proving manageable, and when we have another sunny day we'll do some more sealing up. Portugal seems to be a really lovely country, and far more beautiful and varied than the bits of Spain we saw as we drove through ...
Music and medronho
This is a top pick! An overnight trip up into the Alentejo to see our previous host and friend Carol coincided with a performance of Appallachian music by Phil from Oz and Eric from Estonia. The newly formed Alvorada string duo caused a sensation at the local ...
Before the Walk
This is a top pick! ... people arrived in Santiago, but only 125000 walked from the France/Spain starting point. The next most popular was to walk from Portugal, and with only 10000 people arriving last year, it seemed like the place to be. The next point that slightly bothered ...
Horsing around
This is a top pick! We've gotten very behind on our blog! Mainly due to lack of internet access and working very hard ;-) So, to catch up.... Alex had been around horses a lot when she was younger so was actually looking forward to a couple of weeks on a small ...
Trading trad skills
This is a top pick! ... excited and signed up immediately for two weeks to help prepare the land. On our way up to the project, which is near Portugal's capital Lisboa, we stopped for a night near the beach at Melides. We witnessed some wonderful churning waves (West Coast ...
Lisbon, Portugal
This is a top pick! Lisbon is SO mellow compared to South America. I'm back to using Portugeuse again, it's getting confusing. But I am only here for two days and I can put all the Spanish and Portugese behind. Lisbon is a very small city, easily walkable if you don't ...
Madeira, Day 1
This is a top pick! ... said Funchal. I looked at Ilona and said Madeira? Way cool !!! Once landed, we grabbed a car and headed to Machico. A little bit of Portugal on an old volcanic island. It was nice and didn't take long to see, so we took some snaps and headed over towards ...
Reflexoes
This is a top pick! Unsurprisingly, the recession isn't helping Portugal. Developments have been abandonned and ring roads are half built. There are unfinished houses and the new brickwork of hotels is left exposed, rapidly decaying. We were last here two years ago and ...
Fun pants - all is much better now.
This is a top pick! I used to have a "proper job". The thing that people plan as a "career". The sort that parents can be proud of, that earned good money, required a suit and qualifications that meant letters after my name. That sort of stuff. Unfortunately it was ...
Beach bums
This is a top pick! ... and Adidas (probably knock offs), and an extraordinary amount of slippers and flat caps! Piracy laws are obviously more relaxed in Portugal, and we could easily have picked up a dodgy copy of Avatar if we hadn't been bothered about the no-doubt awful ...
Padaria heaven!
This is a top pick! Lovely beach. Friendly locals. Fabulous fresh bread. One fisherman on the way over the dunes to the beach struck up a "conversation" with me. We chatted about the weather. He thought it was bad. I was wearing shorts. Actions speak ...
Ancient engravings in a beautiful valley
This is a top pick! Paleolithic engravings were found fairly recently in a valley in the north of Portugal and they've been taking visitors in by jeep for 12 years. There's no other way to see the rare engravings, and so we rang them up on the spur of the moment to see if we ...
Braganca
This is a top pick! 
On the trail of wolves, or not.
This is a top pick! The further north we drove, the less people spoke English. This time we were making ourselves understood in French. The difficulty is that our French is school-girl at best and no one else speaks French with an English accent! However, the chap in ...
Both Spanish & Portuguese
This is a top pick! ... thanks. We crossed the border into Spain at the village, and immediately noticed the posher cobbles on the Spanish side. It felt a little strange and a little sad to leave Portugal; we had been there three months and felt pretty fondly about it! ...
Lagos - Lazy Days.
This is a top pick! ... the Atlantic ocean. Lagos will stay in our memories as a place to recharge our batteries with siestas and wholesome home cooked food. We moved onto the capital of Portugal, Lisbon, but only stayed one night as we had used our Lisbon days enjoying ...
The coast of Portugal
This is a top pick! We went south, and all of a sudden, we were in Portugal. There was no border crossing, just a sign. Welcome to Portugal. This stamp situation was looking grim. Three countries but only one stamp. We followed the road as we were heading for Oporto. Home of ...
WWOOFING IN PORTUGAL
This is a top pick! ... it's brought its own personal symphony! Beeeeee-wowww, buh-dop-buh-dah barrrrrrum ... The Top 5 Best Things About Portugal! 1. SERRA DA ESTRELA - After a week at Adam's, I hitchhiked through this mesmerizing part of Portugal. The Serra ...
Blackpool-on-the-Algarve
This is a top pick! ... the spectacular Albufeira where everyone spoke English and every cafe offered a full english breakfast for 4 euros! Portugal's answer to Benidorm? Albufeira aside, the Algarve has some sights worth visiting, particularly if you head inland ...
This is the life in Loule, Algarve, Portugal
This is a top pick! To start off, a photo to show the strenuous conditions under which I have crafted this entry... Another couple of weeks of helpexing and this time for Mark and Sally in Loule. They are both creative people and some of ...
Rain stops play....alot.
This is a top pick! Rain rain rain rain rain. Thunder. Lightning. Beautiful rainbow. Rain rain rain. Wind (and not just that caused by the bean soup). Is this really the sunny Portuguese winter we've come for?! Despite the very on/off weather we had a great time in Carol's ...
Port tasting, beaches and crowds!
This is a top pick! ... by the French to protect Chritian Pilgrims from the Muslims (Moors) when they wanted to vist the holy land. Spain and Portugal were constantly fighting with the Moors over land and relgion. They took a vow of chasity so these sexually frusted kninghts ...
A 'chocolate box town' in more ways than one
This is a top pick! ... weekend of the 8th International Chocolate Festival at Obidos, and it seems that they really like chocolate in this part of Portugal. There was a motorhome stopover at Obidos, just outside the magnificent town walls, and that was where we were heading. ...
Magnificent gothic monastery
This is a top pick! ... Obidos was the town of Alcobaca, and a visit to its famed church and monastery, the first Gothic buildings to be built in Portugal. Building work on the monastery started in 1178, the monks moved in some 50 years later, and the church (the ...
