Welcome to Sintra’s Park and National Palace of Pena

Welcome to Sintra’s Park and National Palace of Pena

This is not a post about any park and palace. This is a post about the most beautiful park and palace you may have the chance to lay your eyes on. Once at its doorsteps, your imagination about the fairytales castles you used to read as a child will be awaken.

Situated in the middle of an exotic vegetation, Pena Palace stands out from afar. Continue reading

Exploring Transylvania in three days

Exploring Transylvania in three days

As a local, romanticizing about your country can be tricky. I must confess I’m always biased. It’s hard to close your eyes at the unfortunate infrastructure, how great it would be to drive on the national roads without any worries, to be able to enjoy the landscapes without being alerted by the holes continuously.

Let us tell you a bit about our three days journey in Transylvania, on the lookout for vampires and bears. Continue reading

Short escape to Algarve – Where Two Go To

May was also our choice for a short sunny gateaway. Continue reading

Hanging around in Mouraria, Lisbon

Hanging around in Mouraria, Lisbon

“Let’s walk this way!”, Edgar says as we leave behind the Intendente square and head towards Mouraria…

At a first glance, I realize I never walked this street before. This street that leads to another one, bumpier than in other quarters, but pleasantly exotic. Continue reading
