Thank you so much for your video, i am from Leiria but currently living in the UK, this made me miss my city even more ❤ very happy that you enjoyed Leiria.
How wonderful that you found our channel and that you enjoyed this video! We love Leiria and actually made a few videos from there!

@@FrugalTravellers Thank you for you reply, i've already seen all your videos about Leiria (this one a few times already :P) and i've shared it with family and friends :)
@@Jpfaustino Awww, that is so lovely, thank you! It really means a lot to us when we hear that peoole enjoy our videos so much that they rewatch and share them. Thank you, you've made our day! 🙏😀😁 ~ Mandy
Another great video, Leira looks a lovily town. Also the video on Best Travel Apps was really helpful and have downloaded some that will be helpful when we get back to Portugal in April. Thanks once again.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment, Clare. Leiria really is a lovely town, and we really enjoy visiting. We're so pleased to hear that the Best Travel Apps has been helpful for you. That's exactly what we wanted from the video, to be able to show people the many excellent apps that we find invaluable to help with budget travel! We really appreciate your lovely feedback, and hope to hear from you again! ~ Mandy 😁😀
I am going to Nazare in 2 weeks and I definitely hope to see Leiria, Obidos, Caldas da Rainha, Peniche...your videos are helpful as always, especially when it comes to figuring out the buses!
Wow, such a great time to be in Nazaré! We hope you see some big waves. I'd so recommend calling into the bus station to ask for timetables, and make sure you note all those different A, B, C etc changes as we did get caught out once 🤣 We love the Silver Coast, and we hope you have an amazing time there! ~ Mandy 😀😁🇵🇹
Your little tour of Leiria has convinced me! Next time I go to Pt. I must spend some time there. What an appealing city it is, and that castle! Feliz ano novo.
Felix ano novo! Leiria feels like an unpolished gem, and we've really enjoyed every visit there. I think it says a lot that it was the one place Gaz said he'd like to live. I'm looking forward to returning later this year! ~ Mandy 😀😁
You're welcome. You can find organic veggies in the supermarkets. Not sure about the local markets. Plenty of fresh locally grown produce there though. 👍
Hope to visit Leira someday soon so I can see the markets, castle, water fountain (for fire fighters, people and dogs 😁) and to try that bean and seafood dish. What an amazing town! Thanks for sharing your experience and Happy 2023 to you both. 🙏🏻 🎉 ❤
Happy 2023 Luchesse 😁🎉 Yeh, it does have so much to offer. All those things and an impressive castle to boot! Another gem of a lesser known Portuguese city. 😁😍
Great video guys. Might have to try and squeeze a day trip to Leiria, haven't been there for years. Where in the world can you visit an amazing castle for that price? Ma convinced me with that yummy looking meal. Happy New Year to you all, so excited 2023 will be my year of travel!
Thanks, Cindy. A happy new year to you! Leiria is definitely worth a visit if you get chance and that dish certainly went down well so we'd recommend that too! It's so exciting that world travel is becoming more and more possible in 2023. Hope your year works out the way you'd like. 😁🌎✈️ All the best, L&M
Olá Mandy & Lee! What a great video! I haven’t been to Leiria yet… only past it one time (when I had visitors and I was driving from Óbidos to Fatima then on to see the Dinosaur footprints not far from Fatima. I absolutely want to visit Leiria. Something interesting occurred to me when you had a shot of Lee, taking a photo, at about 11:39 - the Português are not known to be super tall, yet the old building had extremely high ceilings. Hmmmm Obrigada 🤩 Keep Well x
Yes Leiria seems to be one of those cities that most people just pass by. It's definitely worth lingering a while there. We really enjoyed our few visits. I didn't notice those high ceilings. I'll have to check back now. 😂
@@FrugalTravellers (the high ceilings are generally in the churches and public buildings 😉) A friend of mine who is Portuguese really like Leiria… I hadn’t given it much consideration (as a place to live) because it’s a bit far from the coast. Cheers - hope you’ve been having a terrific day! Love the pics you’ve posted in FB)
We love Leiria! It is such a lovely and mellow city, with great transport connections, excellent budget restaurants, and that stunning castle! It's so lovely that both Ma and Gaz said they could live there... I think it was their favourite place in Portugal! ~ Mandy 😀😁
lol ..finding free loo is a real challenge in Europe. The peaches were so cheap!! I was in Barcelona this past summer and fruits were really cheap there, too. However, when I travelled to southern France, everything got so expensive 😅
Yes a free toilet is quite a rare thing in Europe, fortunately there are plenty to be found in Portugal. 😁 You really have to time it right with fruit and if you catch the perfect time of the year when they are in abundance then the price is low. 😁 A great reason to eat what is in season. 👍
Yes, we're currently in Abu Dhabi... but still have a few more Portugal videos to come. That's what happens when I shoot loads of footage but we only upload one video per week! We've actually caught up loads... normally we're 2-3 months behind 😁😉 ~ Mandy

Happy New Year, Christine! 🥳🎉 Wishing you an amazing 2023, filled with happiness and fun 😁😀 ~ Mandy and Lee
Wow! I LOVE that drinking fountain!
Such a brilliant Idea 😊

Thank you for a wonderful video! I'm curious: how common is it to find organically-grown produce?
You're welcome. You can find organic veggies in the supermarkets. Not sure about the local markets. Plenty of fresh locally grown produce there though. 👍
Fab vlog! I loved it. :)
Awesome 😍 Put Leiria on the must visit list. You won't regret it 😊 ~ Lee
I really must return and explore Portugal some more. Just a delightful town.
We love Portugal, Alice... so many wonderful places to visit and tasty meals to eat! 😀😁 ~ Mandy
This is beautiful country
Those fruit plants seem amazing value.
They sure are. I'm sure you'd pay a lot more in garden centres back home. I love these small scale farmer's type markets. 😁👍 ~ Lee

Did you guys come back to Portugal? I thought you were headed to the middle east?
Yes, we're currently in Abu Dhabi... but still have a few more Portugal videos to come. That's what happens when I shoot loads of footage but we only upload one video per week! We've actually caught up loads... normally we're 2-3 months behind 😁😉 ~ Mandy
@@FrugalTravellers Ah, okay. I had hoped that you had decided to just come back to Portugal! 🙂
Have you been to Gibraltar yet ?
Hello Marlies. We went to Gibraltar in 2010, at the beginning of our 40-week truck trip around Africa. ~ Mandy
I'm living in leiria district
Fantastic 😍 it's a lovely place. 👍
Bros are in Backrooms 💀
😂 Not sure what this means. 😂
Why still in masks
Well spotted! We still had to wear masks on buses in Portugal in early August... but that changed around the 20th August 😀😁 ~ Mandy
