Lisbon - A city that reminds me a lot of Barcelona. That's how I feel as I ride my bike from my campsite into the city. There is a lot of interesting architecture to discover...

A visit to Sagres is a must. There is the southwesternmost point on the European mainland. Or at that time also called 'the end of the old world'. During the high season, there...

The first day out of Porto was strange for me. I noticed on the way that everything looked very familiar, but somehow it was different. I knew what was coming, not exactly, but...

I have to say, I'm generally very lucky with the weather. I started hiking at the beginning of October at almost 30 degrees and had mostly sun. A good month later, the sun is...

Since we were already in Porto in the far north, we decided to take the upper tip with us

In our experience, the first two questions our children ask regarding the travel destination are as follows: 'Does the accommodation have a pool?' and 'Is there also a water...

Our flight from Frankfurt via Lisbon to Faro with TAP Portugal went smoothly. The car rental pick-up was a delight compared to our experience in Mallorca last year, and we...

Since we are already near Silves, we want to take a look at the town. According to the motorhome travel guide, it is a gem of architecture in the Algarve. We can't find anything...

Heeeeeey Leuteeeee Heute morgen genossen wir noch ein paar Stunden die schöne Kulisse der Küste und machten uns gegen Mittag auf den Weg zu unserem gebuchten Hotel. Vor dem...

Hello everyone! Today was a "chill out" day on the program :) We slept in, had a leisurely breakfast, and enjoyed doing nothing :). At 2pm, I had an appointment for new claws -...

Painters and musicians at every corner. Buildings covered in colorful tiles everywhere. Sun, fun, and the constant smell of weed. That's what Portugal has been to us. Even...

Without a partner but with a group, we were going on a study trip to Lisbon. However, the journey initially only went to Hamburg because no planes were taking off from the...

For almost a week now, we have been at our first Workaway job. Our hosts, Ellis and Camilla, have built an amazing life here in the Monchique Mountains in southern Portugal. On...

As mentioned, we spontaneously went to Lisbon. What a city, it's beautiful here! After checking into the hostel, we just started walking towards the old town. We were approached...

Beautiful beach with great waves for surfing☺️ and yet another fantastic accommodation with a rooftop terrace☀️

I can only share 20 pictures per post now...this stage was significantly shorter than all the others (32,453 steps)

The next stage (34,536 steps) was again along the coast☀️

The first bike ride to work.

I explore Lagos on foot and discover rock caves, street art, and beaches.

From Vila do Bispo, it goes partly steeply uphill and downhill. Good thing it's only 15 kilometers today.

I hike over hills with beautiful views to Carrapteira.

Mum suggested we spend a day at the Palácio de Monserrate and the surrounding garden. I'm so glad we did! The site is about an hour's walk past Sintra on a hill in the forest...

We leave our super campsite and drive west to Santarem. This small town is nicknamed the Gothic capital of Portugal - maybe it's true? We are lucky and find a parking space...
