Travel Blogs from Portugal
What to do on a lovely sunny day?
This is a top pick! On a lovely sunny day we decided to go underground, as you do. We visited Grutas de Mira de Aire, Portugal's largest show caves. The caves here had been known locally for decades, but only opened to the public in 1974. On our guided tour (in ...
Our Lady of Fatima
This is a top pick! ... indeed, absolutely fascinating. And the religious souvenir shops, well.....if only we'd had room for this snowglobe! PS. The icecream was the best in Portugal, in case you're ever in the area. ...
The Convent of the Order of Christ
This is a top pick! ... in the 14th century, the Portuguese branch of the order was turned into the Knights of the Order of Christ, which supported Portugal's maritime discoveries of the 15th century. The guidebook said that a visit to the castle and convent cost ...
Tavira
This is a top pick! We ended up in Tavira on the southern shores of Portugal. We then walked about 4kms to the ferry point where we caught a boat across the 500 meters to Ilha Da Tavira. This island was an absolute dream of a place. There was a campsite in the middle of this ...
Lisbon
This is a top pick! We ended up having a really full on time whilst we were in the capital of Portugal. The campsite was 45 minutes by bus, which meant when we headed into the central we stayed out all day. The nicest area that I found was the Aleama District below the ...
Evora
This is a top pick! Unfortunately the walled town of Evora turned out to be less than impressive for me, mainly because of already having seen such towns as Avingon and Carcassonne which were always going to be ahrd to top. However Evora still held its own unique beauty ...
Porto
This is a top pick! Porto, a favourite amongst friends of mine that had been through Portugal managed to rub some of its apparent likeablillity onto me. The campsite was amongst a huge wooded park that had a very sociable feel about it. Porto clings to the steep north bank ...
Madeira Island
Madeira Island The Beautiful "Pearl of the Atlantic" How wonderful it's to return to the place of birth special when it's a place like Madeira Island Madeira is also known the "Garden of The Atlantic" situated between two continents ...
Trip winding down
I am alive!!! I know that I haven't been blogging much lately, hope it hasn't caused any worry. I only have enough Tim now to say that I flew into lisbon Friday, and met my dad here. I have given up my hostel sleeping, and cheap food, and am now cruising ...
Albufeira
Only a bus ride away, Portugal was a natural choice for a beach vacation last week. Finishing up school before our 2nd spring holiday, a few friends from my program and I decided to get on the road towards Lagos. We wanted to stop somewhere smaller on ...
Leiria
Peneda Geres National Park
Campo de Geres is a beautiful campsite set in the middle of the national park with mountains surrounding it on all sides. Our time there was mixed, to say the least! First the highs. The Park really is stunning, the scenery is incredible, some of the ...
Estremoz - the marble town!
... here though... Since the last entry we pretty much hugged the coast and went to about every beach on the southwest coast of Portugal. Have had a few good fun surfs in the last week and starting to feel not so spastic and unfit surfwise! Andy finally ...
Can I have a bit of San Francisco in Europe?
... . He takes us home and at about 3:00 am everybody has their own bed. And so my love begins. ______ Lisboa, the capital of Portugal, is located on a few hills, right in a place where the Tag river flows into the Atlantic Ocean. Our host, who is REALLY an ...
Port Tours at V.N de Gaia
Ahh, I made it to Portugal finally. Never thought it would come. It´s been a rough few days. My first day I got super sun burnt. Not so fun. Guess that happens after not really getting much sun in the past year and a half at least. I´m paying now. ...
Final de Semana
Olá pessoal (se é que ainda tem alguém lendo isso) seguem algumas fotos do meu final de semana... Ah, o pessoal do hotel deixou um cadeado em cima da minha mala ontem. Legal, nao? Beijos e até a ...
The Beach
A cloudy morning but we hit the beach for a stroll. We meet a fisherman who has caught 3 octopus that he will put in his freezer at home. We chat for a long while and he knows broken english. A lovely man. We lunch at the beach ( wine, fish and bread) ...
Chicken Run
... the end and a interesting day away from the van. We have stayed in some amazing places and the view from the van in Portugal has rarely disappointed, when I get the chance to upload this I hope the pictures that we choose can do the time we have had ...
The Slate Hamlet
... as I like to refer to it 'The Health Club’). The next blog will be from a beach resort on the Algarve Coast, South Portugal. We are off tomorrow heading to Albufeira which is a 5 hour drive and staying at a Resort for 4 nights. There should be more ...
Velas
Today was again an interesting day. We went to another remote location that, but this time at least it wasnt a scary drive in the mountains. It was still a good 20 minutes on a tiny dirt road though. When we got to location I didnt really ...
Happy New Year @ Lisbon
... on the West side of the city. On this neighbor we can see today impressive old and new monuments dedicated to Portugal’s history, which will surprise anyone who walks around here. For example, the Monasterio dos Jeronimos (or Gerome’s ...
A holiday from a holiday
... were not going to be quite so dreary. The sun was shining, the locals were smiling (as much as people do in Portugal) and the streets were a sensible width apart. We were actually staying in a small off shoot of Tavira called Cabanas Tavira which was ...
Hi there, it's not a pleasure to meet you
In my quest for warmer March weather I jumped on an overnight train from San Sebastian, travelling 13 hours to the capital of Portugal, Lisbon. Once again I wasn't really sure what to expect as I had heard that Portugal was one of the least touristed ...
Lisbon, Sintra, Cabo da Roca
This trip was actually Nov. 5-8. Yeah, I've neglected this travelogue like none other. We spent time in Lisboa and then went to the westernmost point of the European continent (Cabo da Roca) and to Belem (Bethlehem) to see the monastery and eat some ...
Tin Tin and the Song of the Santorini
oh my god, will this guy ever shut up? granted, it was novel and even beautiful at first but at hour 5 is a bit annoying especially as i had just drifted off in what had to be one of the most uncomfortable positions i have yet to be in. the waves ...
Thanks Kate!
... ; A beautiful new highway, a great sportscar and a dry and sunny day were the perfect ingredients for a roadtrip. Drivers in Portugal are similar to those in Spain - wannabee Formula 1 drivers. We were cruising along nicely at 160 kmh and ...
Day 8
Day 8 Oporto Portugal There really isn't much of anything here to talk about that's exciting. The most exciting thing in this town is the heritage of the wine (Port wine comes from here) and the restaraunts on the river. One restraunt is a modular ...
Looking eastward over Europe
As you know, I decided to leave Dakar a few days early in order to spend a couple of days in Lisbon on my way home. My flight was scheduled to leave at 2am and was delayed until 3am, but I had an entire row of seats to myself and slept fabulously ...
