This is a personal travel blog, where I have been sharing memories and photographs of our Portuguese adventures since almost the start of this century. We loved hiking in the Algarvian hills and were also keen birders so you’ll notice many of my posts are focused on Portugal’s natural beauty. We also enjoyed discovering its art, architecture, history and amazing festivals so you’ll find posts on all of this too. Portugal is beautiful country and has so much to offer everyone whether your preferences are for beach holidays, hiking adventures, great food and wine, culture or a little bit of everything. My only advice is take your time, Portugal is a country best explored slowly!
Following the sudden and unexpected death of my husband in 2022 I am now rarely visiting Portugal so my posts will be less frequent, but hopefully there will be at least one every year. Have fun exploring the newest posts below or use the menus to find specific topics.
