VILLAGE LIFE PORTUGAL | When a Country Walk goes Wrong!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 авг 2024
- We show you around a typical Portuguese village to give you a taste of village life in Portugal. Also we take a walk though some of the beautiful countryside of Central Portugal. Great until things go wrong! Watch to the end to find out what happens!
The village we visit is A Dos Negros. 7km from the charming town of Óbidos in the Leira district of Central Portugal. It's pleasant fruit growing country where you will find an abundance of apple, pear and plum plantations. Also there are a lot of vineyards producing good quality Portuguese wine.
We used the OSM app to find our way. It's very good but BEWARE!!! Many hiking trails in Portugal can disappear over time and quickly cease to exist.
😁 Please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE if you enjoyed this video, and SHARE with your friends!
There will be many more videos to come as we are travelling indefinitely.

I am portuguese.... love yours videos... thank you for the content... LOve it
This means so much to us, coming from a native Portuguese viewer! Thank you so much for your lovely comments - it was so lovely to hear from you! ~ Mandy
You guys are so much fun to watch. Especially love your positive attitude and outlook.
Thank you for your lovely comment, Nelson! What you see is what you get with us, and we try to make the most of every situation as life is so short. Of course we bicker occasionally, but on the whole we are positive and appreciative of all the wonderful things around us! Two of our mottos are:
Reality, not glamour
Finding joy in simple things
...and we live by these 😃 ~ Mandy
Thank You for the video! Sorry about the thorns injuries. Portugal countryside is a bit sleepy like a ghosttown, especially on Sundays...😂😂
Thank you. It was a really nice place to go exploring around. We made a big mistake going off track like that but it was a fun adventure. This is a really pretty part of Portugal. 😍 👍~ Lee
So nice in Portugal
Portugal is wonderful! You guys should visit! 🇵🇹😁 ~ Mandy
This was fantastic! Thank you for the content. I only have three months until our planned move to Portugal. I do hope our paths cross as I've learnt a lot from your experience and want to give back.
Thanks so much for the lovely comment, Todd. Glad to know we've been of help. We'll be in this region for the next 2 months, then not sure where after that. Good luck with the move. We're sure you'll love it here. 👍😃 ~ Lee
Lovely couple 💖
Nice to see a very cool video
Thank you so much for your lovely comment, Muhammad. We're very happy that you enjoyed this video! ~ Mandy 😀😁
At 3:58, what you call "band stand" is exactly that, and in portuguese is called "coreto".
"Freguesia" is the smallest administrative division of the portuguese territory, similar, as already mentioned in the comments, to a "parish". Several "freguesias" make up a "município/concelho" (municipality).
Enjoy the country walks.
Thanks for that really useful information, António. I didn't know the word "coreto" before. 👍
Now we understand what a Freguesia is. I'm glad it is now clear as we see it often on our hikes. Cheers! 👍 Lee
Loved your positive attitude, even when you get lost!
We do try to see the positive in everything, and fortunately are adily able to laugh at ourselves and the situations we get ourselves into 😃🤗🤣
Thank you for sharing a special and beautiful video. Always be happy and healthy!
Thank you so much. We are glad you enjoyed it. Health and happiness to you too! 🙏😍😁
I recently discovered your channel as I was looking for content about Portugal, and I really enjoy it! Thank you!
Thank you so much. We are glad you enjoy our content about Portugal. We try to give as much information as we can. You are welcome! 😊
Great video guys. What a magic little village. Loved Elvis holding flowers/plant in hand, and the hand cleaner next to ATM. Lol not sure about Lee's navigational skills. Have fun, look forward to next video.
It was a gorgeous place. Makes me wonder if all the villages in Portugal are like this. We'll have to visit them all to find out. 😂. I'm blaming the app for sending us into the wilderness! 😂😂 ~ Lee
Love from Goa....
Hello Martin, and greetings from New Zealand! 😁😀 ~ Mandy
Love your videos. Portugal is my favourite country to visit. Looking forward to my stay in Silves later in the year. Obrigada.
Thank you, Rosie! We love Portugal as well... this is such a beautiful country! We hope you have a wonderful time in Silves, such a lovely place! ~ Mandy
When I first brought my wife to my little village in Northern Portugal she would often speak in a whisper as if afraid to disturb the tranquility of the place. I found it amusing that you both seem to do the same at some points in this video. I really enjoy your work and hope you heal up quickly. Portugal is great at many things but clearly marked paths is not one of them! Take care : )
Thanks Martin. That's funny that you would speak in a whisper to not disturb the tranquility. We didn't notice we were doing it but i think we were. It is so peaceful in these places. We love the countryside here but the paths can certainly be a challenge! 🤣😊👍 Lee
Wonderful video guys and love that village, I liked the up cycling of those old tyres. That’s very cool. More places should do that.
Thanks for watching. Yes the tyres really got me. Such a wonderful way to add colour to the place and to put old tyres to use. Very ingenious! I'll have to try it myself someday! 👍 Lee
So adventurous! :) I love your videos! We have been in the region and it's lovely! Definitely next time I'm in Portugal I will try to walk from Caldas to Obidos! I hope I will have so much energy as you guys! It's amazing! :)
There are some really nice places to visit around the area. The towns and countryside are all very pretty. Hope you get to return soon. 👍~ Lee
Love your videos both… we moved to Gaeiras one month ago from the UK which is the next village to A Dos Negros… we love the area.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Jacqui. We walked through Gaeiras on our way to Caldas. It's a really pretty area and we are so pleased we got to house sit around there. Enjoy your new life in this beautiful part of the world!
What a lovely system with the clothes!
Yes most definitely. Great to see everything getting recycled. ~ Lee
wow what a lovely village and grapes! perfect!!
It was such a pretty village! It's such a pity we went on a Sunday, especially considering we were housesitting near there for 5 weeks... and chose the wrong day to go as would have loved to have had a meal in the cafe with the locals! ~ Mandy
We just arrived back home in Canada after a month in Portugal. We had a 2 week stay in Alqueve in the Coimbra District and the neatest thing about our village life was the Fish Man and the Bread Lady who would drive through the village on their set days and honk their horns so people would come out and make their purchases. Kind of reminded me of the Fish & Chips trucks that do the rounds in UK villages once a week.
Ahh yes. We did see a fish man drive around in a little white van honking his horn. The locals were all keen to come out and buy. It's such a big part of the Portuguese diet. I never knew there were fish and chip vans in the UK villages. That's brilliant! I can't imagine seeing them in Canada. 😃 ~ Lee
I’m loving the views already. The grapes look so fresh.😁
They did! We're not sure if they're drinking or eating grapes! ~ Mandy
@@FrugalTravellers Drinking grapes
I’m here watching 😁✌️
Wow... it's only been up for 2 minutes! Are you just trying to be first 🤣🤣🤣
I love the plantation a lot. Sorry about the bruises on your feet. Keep exploiting and have a blessed evening.😁
Thank you so much for your lovely comment! We had so many scratches and lost a fair bit of blood, all due to following the OSM map so I definitely wouldn't recommend it for going off-track! 😳 Did you mean to say "exploiting" or did you want to say "exploring "? 🤣😂 ~ Mandy
Nice video 📹👍sir
Thank you so much 🙏
What a lovely little village! A bit eerie that it seemed very empty (Sunday), but lovely nonetheless. Sorry you had troubles with the brambles. Ouch!
Thank you both very much! It's a lovely village but yes, slightly eerie Sunday lunchtime when all the locals are gathering for a big family meal! Those brambles were vicious... way worse than the blackberry we get in New Zealand! ~ Mandy
@@FrugalTravellers New Zealand is a destination for us in the next two years, crossing fingers. Another location we're considering moving to, aside from Portugal 😃
@@rollingwiththepauls How lovely to hear that you have two great countries in mind. We wish you great success in finding the right place for the two of you! ~ Mandy
@@FrugalTravellers Thanks so much, it's definitely part of the journey!
oh dear, when you looked down and we could see you were wearing sandals we were wondering how you'd go... those thorns looked painful! Looked like a lovely walk though 😀
It sure wasn't the best footwear for that terrain. 🙄 We didn't think we'd end up fighting through thick bush like that. Should have turned around earlier and taken the longer route! Ouch! 🤬
@@FrugalTravellers we've been in that situation before... We feel your pain!
@@BucketListTravellers I swear... the blackberries, gorse and rose hips were way more vicious than anything we get in Oz, NZ or the UK! 😁🤣 ~ Mandy
Great video! You might know by now that the sign on the fountains just absolves the government of any responsibility... they're fine to drink from!
That's great to hear! We always drank from them and never got ill 😁😃
Note 📝 to self don’t wear Jasus boots while trusting gps , great vid as always 😎👍
Haha. That's a great rule to follow. Jeans would be a useful garment too! Thanks. 😃 ~ Lee
Oh your poor legs! Secateurs in the bag for walks like that can be useful. IB and I had a similar experience not so long ago - he bashed all the brambles down with a stick.
I think a machete would have been better for that bush. It was brutal. The thorns were like rhino horns! 😳
Very beautiful watching from india 🇮🇳☺️
Thank you so much 🙏 That's very kind. 😍
Lovely! I think your ‘Elvis’ might actually be Jose Afonso.
Thank you so much for this, Kathy. I hadn't heard of him so will Google him and check him out. 😁👍
Ha i Brother. From India to see the portal ,s culture and lifestyle
Welcome to our channel. We hope our videos are useful and helpful to you. Have a wonderful day 👍😊
Isn’t Dos Negros lovely! Glad you made it out of those brambles… but holy moly, I was wincing at those cuts and thorns! Ouch!
Did I miss the part where you share the name of the app you were following? I only heard you refer to it as OSM and I’m Not a fan of acronyms.
By the way, Freguesia is Parish… basically that is the municipal building for the parish. They are in all the parishes.
The first time I ever saw outdoor exercise equipment like that was in Lagos. We don’t have them where I am from 8n Canada but it might be because of all the snow. 🤷🏻♀️
Glad you liked it, Jen. The wild plant life here is pretty unforgiving! 😂
OSM is actually the name of the app. A few residents here recommended it to us for walking. It may be an acronym for something but not sure what. It's pretty good but sometimes the trails disappear. We've heard that is common here as the farming landscape changes often. Parish... That makes sense. Thanks for that. We appreciate the input. 😃 ~ Lee
💚❤️🇵🇹👍🏻
We're happy you enjoyed this video! It's so cool to see someone binge watching Frugal Travellers 🙏😁😃 ~ Mandy
I really appreciate both of you two's honesty and good humour. We're coming to Portugal (Lisbon and the Algarve) on October 30 for 27 days. I hear that Portugal is the most double vaccinated country in the world at 98% of all eligible people 12 years and older. Is this true, and have many restrictions been lifted last week? Suggestions?
Thank you for the kind comment Peter 😊. Hope you have a wonderful time in Lisbon and Algarve. Two wonderful places to visit! 👍 I was aware that Portugal was one of the most vaccinated countries but didn't realise it was that high. 😳. From 1st October the final restrictions were lifted and even nightclubs can open now. Life seems to be going on as normal with just the requirement to wear masks in certain situations. On transport, inside shopping malls etc. If you use Facebook we recommend the Safe Communities Portugal page for detailed latest updates. 👍 ~ Lee
Another great video. Just wondering.....didn't see anyone around the village while you were filming. Is it deserted? Abandoned? Siesta time?
Any guesses? By the way, any poisonous snakes in that area? Thanks
Hi there. Thank you so much. It was a very quiet Sunday afternoon so guessing everyone is indoors enjoying family time. There are some snakes around. We only saw dead ones on the road. Really not sure if there are poisonous ones here or not. We probably should find out before we go yomping through the bush again! 🤣👍 Lee
If you like wine go to Gaeiras.
Thank you so much. We need to go to Gaeiras! Saude! 🍷😃 ~ Lee
You have to do in Azores
We would love to visit both Azores and Madeira. Hopefully we will be able to soon. 👍 Lee
I was going to go out walking with some Tupperware and make a compote out of those blackberries to have with yoghurt. But then the dreaded Covid got me and that put paid to that little plan!
Oh no! Hope they are still ripe by the time you are free!
You two have so much stamina... I am envious.
That's so lovely, Scott - thank you! We really enjoy wandering around new places, and taking new tracks. I definitely wouldn't be taking that track back with the OSM app again... you needed a machete to get through there! 😁🤣 ~ Mandy
Don't worry Scott. For every day we have like that we have 5 rest days! 😂 ~ Lee
physalis?
Yes! I was raised with them in New Zealand as Cape Gooseberries... and rediscovered them dried in health food shops in Australia as Inca Berries. I love them... and there were a few plants at our last housesit on the quinta in Central Portugal with delicious ripe fruit! 😃😁 ~ Mandy
Not a soul on the street on Sunday afternoon, where everybody ? Taking siesta ? :)
We think it is very common for families to meet in their homes for a Sunday lunch and a gathering. The streets were deserted! ~ Lee
Where are the Bitcoin ATMs?
Bitcoin's a bit too new-fangled for us 😁🤣 We haven't seen any of their ATMs yet but will keep an eye out for you! ~ Mandy
@@FrugalTravellers Please do.
@@markhendy4845 I've just carried out a quick online search, and there are 4 Bitcoin ATMs in Portugal: in Braga; Lisbon; Porto; and Faro. Unfortunately we won't be near any of those cities for a while but when we do go that way, we'll let you know! ~ Mandy
