Where to go to around Portugal
Not many travellers coming to Portugal know about this hidden treasure. In fact, we feel that Mafra National Palace hasn’t received its deserved spotlight.
That’s why we’re writing this, to present you one more gem to visit during your trip through Portugal, and especially if you’re staying in Lisbon and looking for a quick escape outside the city. Continue reading
A regular Saturday (turned out to be far from regular) – one day before the super blood moon eclipse – one way to explain the glow that surrounded us in the afternoon to which we surrendered like children. Or maybe, maybe it’s just the lady Autumn that settled in gracefully in one of the most beautiful spots in Alentejo, Monsaraz. Continue reading
Although summer has slowly come to an end, you should write down in your travels list one of Portugal’s wonders. By seeing the picture above, you’re probably asking: does this even exist in Europe, and it is visitable? The Berlenga Grande Island situated just 5.7 miles off the mainland, is the kind of island that you dream of finding but don’t hope it exists.

After four years, The Flowers’ Festival also known as People’s Festival ( Festas do Povo / Festas das Flores) is back to the streets of Campo Maior in Alentejo.
Like reading a description paragraph in a book – this is how surreal this festival looks at first sight! Before arriving to the city, we would imagine no more than four-five decorated streets.

There are people coming from all over Portugal and from the neighbouring Spain to grasp some flickering shadows and colourful lights from the suspended paper flowers. Continue reading
We packed our bags with a lot of enthusiasm and headed to the North of Portugal, more precisely, the Douro Valley and Oporto. We’ve already been several times in Oporto, but every time we go it’s like the first time. We park in another area and set about a different pathway. Continue reading
It’s summer so we imagine that if you’re coming to Portugal you’d need some help in finding some of the best beaches in Portugal to set your foot in for a cerveja. The other day we were approached by an Austrian couple in the metro, asking to recommend a good beach they could go to (needless to say we ended up joining them). We assume that there are more travellers out there looking for the same answer. Whether you’re in Portugal for just a week or more, the settings below will help you pick one beach destination.
More than wine is the bar concept that could be a success anywhere in the world. Let us tell you what makes it particular and memorable. Continue reading
