Mingle at the Portuguese Embassy

On Monday, we mingled with representatives of Portugal's different regions, travel agencies that organise trips to Portugal and some journalists and bloggers. Among other things, we got the chance to talk for a while with Gunilla, who runs the well-written and entertaining travel blog. 4000 mil. And then we were treated to Portuguese wine and a variety of Portuguese treats, such as cured meats, cheeses and pastries.

Cycling or hiking in Portugal?

Portugal is currently being promoted as a great place to go cycling or hiking. The country is already known for sunbathing, surfing and golf, but it has more to offer.

The different regions of Portugal showed pictures and told us about hiking trails and mountain bike rides, but also about charming rural villages, small castles built on high hills, dramatic cliffs, vineyards and local food. Among other things. We travelled around with our motorhome in Portugal in 2015, and can agree that this is an amazingly beautiful country. The photos below are from our trip.

We became curious about Madeira

For ourselves, we became curious about Madeira. This island group belongs to Portugal, but is geographically closer to the African continent than to Europe. We saw a lot of pictures from here and it seems to be very beautiful.

The island offers sun and swimming, of course, but also nature, hiking, spas and festivals. Perhaps you've been to Madeira and have some experiences to share?
