Thanks to the gilet jaunes we had to avoid Toulouse and have ended up in this charming and original chateau. Our hosts, Michel and Ann-Marie have been delightful.

In the heart of the French Basque country. As nice as we rembered it. Stopped for lunch and had a good walk around.

Bar Iruna, Bilbao
2019年3月7日, スペイン ⋅ 🌙 13 °C
After a great deal of research, we decided that this was our favourite bar in Bilbao. The marinaded lamb kebabs just melted in your mouth. Great selection of food and drink. Perfect for people watching too!もっと詳しく

Braganza

Inside the perimeter wall, up close to the castle for safety, is old Braganza. Not safe enough - invaded by hundreds of tourists every day...

Braganza Castle
2019年3月9日, ポルトガル ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
The Castle of Bragança (Portuguese: Castelo de Bragança) is a well-preserved medieval castle located in the historic center of the city. Started in 1129 it has been developed ever since. With the surrounding small houses it gives a great impression of what a fortified medieval town was really like.もっと詳しく

Vila Real
2019年3月10日, ポルトガル ⋅ ☀️ 9 °C
Vila Real is the capital and largest city of the Vila Real District, northern Portugal. Stooped for a break in the driving. It çonfirmed our suspicions there is nothing much to see in the poorer inland parts of Portugal.もっと詳しく
翻訳をご覧ください
旅行者Agreed - about things to see in the poorer regions, that is. But do go to Fatima - just to see religious tourism at its most extreme! I thought that such practices had died out, but not there!
2019/03/18返信する
旅行者Oh, but I forgot - you’ve been to Lourdes, and lit a candle! In Fatima, you can buy a wax replica of a body part that is troubling you and cast it into an inferno, but don’t be too optimistic!

Museum of Contemporary Art

Amongst other things, a brilliant exhibition of the work of Joana Vasconcelos. A lot of her work is large and kinetic so photos do not do it justice.

Matosinhos

Small industrial & fishing harbour north of Porto and along the Atlantic coast. Funny mixture of old and run down and new. Easy reach of Porto by bus or metro.

Porto
2019年3月14日, ポルトガル ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
Mixed feelings about Porto. There are some very nice buildings spread out over a large area. And it is very up and down. The public transport is excellent and a great way of getting around.

Porto: final thoughts
2019年3月17日, ポルトガル ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C
We were somewhat surprised to find a Banksy exhibition here. Went to a craft market and a flea market but all we got were fleas ...the statue is very symbolic and is dedicated to the heroes of the Peninsular War (1808-1814): the Lion (symbol of the alliance between Portuguese and British forces) smashes the Eagle (symbol of the French troops),もっと詳しく

Nazare
2019年3月18日, ポルトガル ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
According to the Legend of Nazaré, the town derives its name from a small wooden statue of the Virgin Mary, a Black Madonna, brought by a monk in the 4th century from Nazareth,. Today it is a beautiful seaside resort famous for surfing. Waves can reach 30 metres high in season.もっと詳しく

Obidos
2019年3月18日, ポルトガル ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
The name "Óbidos" is a Latinised (oppidum, citadel) derivation of the older Celtic "Eburobricio". The municipality had its growth from a Roman settlement near the foothills of an elevated escarpment.
The Castle of Óbidos (Portuguese: Castelo de Óbidos) is a well-preserved medieval castle.もっと詳しく

Cascais (north of Lisbon)

Charming little resort on the coast. Beautiful by the sea but a bit touristy further back with plenty of "pubs" etc. Property prices here similar to Cote d'Azure.

旅行者 These little charmer are part of a schools project - they're learning how to engrave. I was envious!

旅行者 The Citadel. Inside it's al very modern architecture, an art centre, smart homes, galleries, restaurants; an imaginative use of an old building.
