Under the bridge (Vasco da Gama bridge)

Under the bridge (Vasco da Gama bridge)

Few are the places in Lisbon that are off the tourists’ and even locals’ eye.

It was the end of autumn, the sun was up on the sky, people were jogging, walking their dogs, a few quiet fishermen were sitting on the dock, it was a mix of all the little details to bolster up a perfect first impression. Continue reading

Top 5 most-read blog posts of 2015 – Where Two Go To

We’re not going to keep you much, we know you’re busy now with the preparation for the New Year’s Eve and all the cin cin stuff, and we do feel you.

2015 was an incredible year: we went on a three-days Vacanze Romane, we dived into the Turkish delights in Istanbul, then had a bit of Western Asia in Capadoccia, and a taste of Vienna all the way to Rovinj, Croatia. Continue reading

Blue all over Ericeira, Portugal

Blue all over Ericeira, Portugal

Ericeira’s history goes way back in time, somewhere only our imagination can reach.

And when we’re lacking imagination we seek inspiration in loco. That is why we come back here over and over again. We can easily place Ericeira in the top of the list of Portuguese villages fronting the ocean, to check at least once in a lifetime. It is hard to believe it doesn’t have the tourist syndrome, the reason why its authenticity is still well-preserved. Continue reading

The tradition of canned fish in Portugal

The tradition of canned fish in Portugal

You may know Portugal for its sardines, and especially the canned ones. Despite the common belief, this small country has a large diversity of canned fish, from sardines to horse mackerel, from tuna to anchovy, octopus to eel. Moreover, there’s also a variety of sauce it is preserved in, from plain olive oil to an explosion of unbelievable flavors. Continue reading

An Atlantic summer breeze got lost in November…

We are going to tell you a secret, but to enjoy this secret you must keep it for yourself 🙂.

Not far from Lisbon, where the Tagus river and the Atlantic Ocean meet, stays a magic place with an unspoiled beach. After we had discovered it two weeks ago, we came back again last Sunday. It became our special Sunday retreat. Continue reading

Coimbra in 2 days: a travel guide for history lovers

Coimbra in 2 days: a travel guide for history lovers

We arrived on a rainy day in Coimbra and left on a sunny one. You’re like in two different cities depending on the weather. We opted for an indoor itinerary in the first day, so that we could visit lovely gardens and stroll the streets at ease the next day.

Coimbra is a city to see if you’re planning a longer stay throughout Portugal. It speaks history at every step and that’s the reason number one why it is so enthralling. Continue reading

A short philosophy about going at a local food market in Portugal

A short philosophy about going at a local food market in Portugal

In a cosmopolitan world, entering a local food market in Portugal, or Paris, or Vietnam, is like a breath of fresh air, the impression is like…entering a supermarket years ago? It’s where you’ll find locals in their own environment. Nothing compares to Continue reading
