Fun and therapy in a Romanian salt mine, one of the oldest in the world

Fun and therapy in a Romanian salt mine, one of the oldest in the world

Why you should go to Flowers’ Festival in Alentejo, Portugal

Why you should go to Flowers’ Festival in Alentejo, Portugal

After four years, The Flowers’ Festival also known as People’s Festival ( Festas do Povo / Festas das Flores) is back to the streets of Campo Maior in Alentejo.

Like reading a description paragraph in a book – this is how surreal this festival looks at first sight! Before arriving to the city, we would imagine no more than four-five decorated streets. Oh, the surprise we had when we entered this dreamy world! The whole municipality has its streets dressed in paper flowers, each one with a theme, be it jasmin, tulips, poppy, rose or orchid. There are people coming from all over Portugal and from the neighbouring Spain to grasp some flickering shadows and colourful lights from the suspended paper flowers. Continue reading

A guide to some of the best beaches in Portugal

A guide to some of the best beaches in Portugal

It’s summer so we imagine that if you’re coming to Portugal you’d need some help in finding some of the best beaches in Portugal to set your foot in for a cerveja. The other day we were approached by an Austrian couple in the metro, asking to recommend a good beach they could go to (needless to say we ended up joining them). We assume that there are more travellers out there looking for the same answer. Whether you’re in Portugal for just a week or more, the settings below will help you pick one beach destination.

The place in Lisbon with the finest taste of coffee

The place in Lisbon with the finest taste of coffee

There’s a new café in town and it is not the regular Portuguese one where you just ask for a bica. 

As soon as we’d found out it opened its doors in the beginning of this month, we went to check for ourselves what makes it so special. Continue reading
