Batalha, a Portuguese architectural masterpiece

Batalha, a Portuguese architectural masterpiece

The monastery that owes its name to a battle is stupendous. As simple as that. It’s a pleasure for the eyes. A Gothic monument on a Gothic day. The clouds gathered to prepare the introduction of this Portuguese architectural masterpiece. We were amazed and continue to be every time we go visit, even if it’s just for admiring it from the outside. Continue reading

In Portugal, every weekend is a gateway to cities, villages or beaches that we haven’t explored yet. As we like to put it, “Time is just what we need to explore space.” We also remember to always stay away from excuses like “I have to clean the house” or “I have to go shopping”.
