    Mate, at 5:47 that's not a coffee, that's a "galão" (milk and coffee), but the cake looks nice.
    And that house (08:07) is quite similar to my grand grandmother's house (already demolished by now), except for the roof.
    I really need to visit Peneda-Gerês...
    In my list are Guimarães and Viana do Castelo.

    If you want to eat good fish in Norther Portugal, go to Matosinhos (adjacent to Porto) or Vila do Conde (you can take the metro). Matosinhos has the best fish in Portugal.

    Porto is nice but it's a big city. I'm currently in Portugal visiting my wife's mom and dad in Northern Portugal We are in Ponte de Barca which is only 1.15 minute drive from Porto. It's a quiet town and also close to Braga and Ponte de Lima. The Spanish Border is a little over an hour east. Baiona, and Vigo Spain are also very close. Check it out.

    Of course I would visit the three places you guys are going to, but I would also like to stay for a while in Caminha, just south of the Spanish border. We passed through there on our way to Lisbon last Sept.

      @AlgarveAddicts  Год назад +1

      Hi Margaret, unfortunately my plans changed and I didn't make the video a out Gerês (fail!). I love that area and would still be interested in making a video up there when time allows. Are you talking about the hotel we stayed in in Peneda Gerês? If so it was: Dobau Village

      I think you may want to look at a place further into the center of the park if possible. Let me know what you find? I would really love to go back there and do some waterfall chasing.

      @@AlgarveAddicts I visited Lisbon, Obidos & Cascais in 2000, then in 2017 visited Lisbon, Porto and Madeira. In 2018 made a brief visit to Cascais, Monte Estoril, Lisbon and finally made it to Algarve. Relying on the train, I visited towns from Faro to Lagos. I wanted to fall in love with a town - but not yet. I would like to move to Europe: Portugal, Spain or Italy - just need to find the place that resonates with me and preferably livable without a car. (Have lived years in NYC without a car).

      Living without a car is only really feasible in a big city (in my personal view).

    Would visit Guimaraes, Aveiro and Vigo, Spain (is that cheating?) or Tomar (is that northern PT?) simply because I've heard a lot about these places but haven't been. Have visited Porto, Braga and Coimbra. Need to return since our previous trip was too fast and not enough time to really get the true sense of (potential) "living" in these areas. BTW--Nice car. Did you upgrade? 👍

      Tomar is central Portugal, a calm city, with lots of history. In reality, Tomar is very close to the center point of Portugal (which is 2 km away from Vila de Rei).
