Travelogues Portugal

I can hardly believe that half of our time in Portugal has already passed! It feels like we have only been here for a week or two... Leon and I have settled in well in Lisbon....

Yesterday, Leon and I hiked to Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of Europe. After three long weeks spent at home with back pain, it was a real treat to get out and into nature...

Despite the very changeable weather forecast, which turned out to be true, we laced up our hiking boots again today. The (Easter egg) hunt began right at the beginning of our...

The view from our window this morning was very sobering: everything outside was grey, it was raining constantly and it was really cold. Since Martin had also caught a cold, we...

Exclusive guest post by Martin Today, unfortunately, another solo stage from Carrapateira to Vila do Bispo (16.5 km and 610 m in altitude). I started early, too early as it...

Actually, the plan was to cross the border on a racing bike, especially since the area is very scenic and, above all, challenging for cycling. During the night it rained and the...

Nadine: After leaving the beautiful campsite in Potes after two nights, we continued westward in Spain. A heavy rain shower then diverted us from our destination Salamanca and...

Spontaneously, four days ago we booked an inexpensive last-minute offer to the island of Madeira. We're escaping the never-ending winter in Thuringia and hoping for a week of...

Saharan dust over Funchal

There is a new momentum in our 'everyday life'... Adrenaline in the canyon. We haven't laughed and had so much fun in a long time. Everything was somehow perfect... it was warm...

Episode 7: Praia do Ribeiro do Cavalo The beach, which Pedro considers a secret tip among the locals, is located just outside of Sesimbra and can only be reached on foot. We...

Algarve Highlights Storks really clatter and wave a lot. Moreover, they can wave. You know you're getting old when you assume, based on license plates, that a lot of Poles are...

Apulia, beginning of March 22 Chrissi and I spent a very relaxed 4 days in Apulia. It's a small coastal town between Porto and Braga, in northern Portugal. The interesting thing...

Dream team

Oops, that was fast. Okay, I've neglected the blog a bit. But actually, I'm not entirely to blame. On the 6th day, we set off from Salamanca towards the south and drove all the...

This week was completely different and special. I had decided to visit a surf camp. I had never surfed before and really wanted to try it out. I found the Cliff Surf Camp, which...

This week was the complete contrast to last week. We continued the travel group with Rita and Hans-Peter and added Simon in Lisbon. Simon is traveling with an 11m motorhome and...

After about an hour's drive, we arrive at the West Algarve. A huge eco campsite with different elevations. Thanks to our former Swiss neighbor, we knew that there is the most...

Ich liebe das Meer, den Ozean, einfach Wasser. Deshalb habe ich mich entschieden, nach Lissabon nicht den Landweg zu nehmen, sondern den unbekannteren Teil entlang der Küste,...

Last Sunday our Europe trip took us for the first time to a country we had never visited before: Portugal. Our current campsite is located a few kilometers away from the city of...

Based on the positive experiences we already had in avoiding main roads on previous routes, we decided to do the same this time. This way, we also didn't miss out on the...

On this day, our travel group split up. While our ladies preferred a beach walk at Praia da Alagoa, the crazy boys went to the golf course. As the Algarve is not sparing with...

Mega wind and waves

This morning we wake up - you won't believe it - to rain. But we also had a restless night. Somewhere there was music, along with a bass (any questions?) After going outside...

Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year Christmas and New Year in 2019 were very special for me. I got to spend both festivities in Madeira with my amazing team from the...

After three hours of walking along the banks of the Tejo, as well as through some residential areas of Lisbon, we strongly doubted the always beautiful description of the city....

You know, with the camper it's not that easy to quickly decide 'Mom, we'll take you to the airport quickly'...

When you think of surfing in Portugal, you imagine a sunny beach and blue sky. Instead, we had drizzle and 16°C...
