Hi Everyone,

To start the year just a post to promote Portugal, despite the fact that the country is undergoing a serious crisis, like many other of its European counterparts, it is still, perhaps even more, an amazing place to visit.

Prices on restaurants and hotels are nowadays very low when compared with other 1st world countries, security is very good, roads are brilliant, old european charm is everywhere and the countryside and seaside are breathtaking.

Since an image is worth a thousand words I am going to show a series of photos from several places in the Minho province which is in the North of the country and of Lisbon which, for those who wouldn’t know, is the capital city in the center/south of the country.

I hope you enjoy and find some time to get to know Portugal, most of what is known of the country is about Algarve, its southernmost province with world famous beaches, but in my humble opinion there’s a lot more to see in Portugal than seaside resort towns, and after seeing the following photos I hope you’ll agree…

In this gallery you’ll find photos, lots of photos, if any place captures your fancy and you are interested to know more about it, just drop me a message and I’ll be happy to comply.
