Travelogues Portugal

I'm sending lots of love and a new blog to you in Portugal

I reach the sea again over a few hills. And after what feels like an eternity, I arrive in Arrifana.

Over the Rio Mira, past cork oaks and fields, I reach more amazing views and arrive at my destination for the day, Almograve, after about 16 kilometers.

In exactly one week, Leon and I will shoulder our backpacks and leave Lisbon for the time being. The last few weeks have been very beautiful and super intense. After visiting...

We decide to stay another day in Golega. Golega is the home of the Portuguese horse breed Lusitanos, which are spirited and docile horses of medium size. Horses are omnipresent...

Unfortunately, the weather has worsened. Rain is forecast, so we say goodbye to the sea for the time being and head inland. Not far from our campsite in Marinha Grande, we want...

We say goodbye to Porto and drive along the coast. This works mostly until we get to Granja, but then we miss a diversion sign and end up in a dead end because of a construction...

The N 103 takes us along the lake with fantastic views. We turn off towards Mentosa and then we go down a very steep road to Vila Gueres in an hour and a half. My back already...

Today we continue on the N 103 along the Parque Natural de Montesinho. A fantastic route. One bend follows the next with new, amazing views every time. Luckily we are almost...

Our second stage is also beautiful. After a chilly night in Fatima's somewhat musty-smelling but well-equipped Airbnb apartment in Vila Nova de M., we had a good breakfast under...

Finally, a holiday with a bit of an adventure feeling again. Yesterday my travel partner Doris and I met in real life for the first time at Lisbon airport. We arranged to meet...

Portugal gave us an incredibly friendly welcome. Last night the people sitting next to us at the restaurant let us have their food (we actually just wanted to know what the fish...

Hiking with a lot of imagination.

The day started with a magnificent sunrise over the country, which was partly shrouded in fog. At breakfast we enjoyed this heavenly silence again. The path took us further...

Journey from Lagos to Dubai

Starting at 9 o'clock in the morning, we embark on an open jeep tour that takes us to the west of the island. Our first stop is in Ponta do Sol, where Sergio familiarizes us...

Enough with fog and rain - I need vitamin D! And that's why Bine is flying alone to the south, with a stop in Vila Nova de Milfontes; a small, not overcrowded tourist town with...

Here we are in one of the most beautiful capitals in the world and we are exploring the public transport network... How to get from the Guincha campsite to the airport quickest?...

Aveiro - the Venice of Portugal ... the boats resemble each other, but that's about it. Aveiro has a few beautiful art nouveau houses and is located on a river delta. The Romans...

After a completely run-down rainy day, we decided to leave the friendly Casa do Sardão in Carreco. And we were lucky! Our new campsite in Gaya, near Porto, welcomed us with...

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 -...
