Storks really clatter

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 on vacation in the Algarve for half a day.

Is there actually a training center for employees in car rental offices where they learn that they must always try to sell the customer a larger car?

The cheapest and at the same time most delicious combination of Pasteis de Nata and espresso can be found in Tavira for exactly 1.50 euros.

This raises the question of why Natas in Germany don't taste as good as they do in Portugal, unless Lidl has them?

On the other hand, do we only think Portuguese food in Hamburg tastes better than in Portugal because we go there more often due to the duration of our vacation?

In the Algarve, GPS trackers and waypoints are unnecessary for hiking because all paths are very well marked. If you find that boring, you just have to travel to Greece.

When talking to landlords, it's always a good idea to have written confirmation from Booking.com, otherwise you might find yourself in a completely different apartment than the one you were looking forward to.

Berlin is actually everywhere, but in Faro?

We haven't met any counterfeiters here, but we have met counterfeit ten-dollar bills.
