Traveling | Why you should visit Portugal :)

Hello beautiful ones! :)

Today we bring you something a little different that we thought you might enjoy!

Since summer is nearly upon us and you are probably trying to find a lovely yet affordable place to spend your summer vacations, we decided that we would give you some suggestions! :)

This week: PORTUGAL!

I know what you're thinking: "yeah right, of course you are going to talk about your own country!". But, hey! Who would give better advice on why you should visit somewhere than a local? Besides it is a true gem! Not only is it beautiful, it is also really affordable! :)

So, I would like to tell you how much you would love to visit this beautiful country! :)

I have been to almost everywhere here in Portugal and I can tell you: It is WORTH IT! :) 
What I love the most about it is the fact that there is a little bit of everything for everyone! So today I will adress three locations: Oporto, Lisbon and Algarve. :) 
If you love cultural tourism you should start by visiting cities like Porto (or Oporto):

It has beautiful piers.


Gorgeous monuments. This one is called "Torre dos Clérigos".


And a vibrant nightlife!



So this city is very vibrant and full of monuments and museums for you guys to visit!
Another city you should visit is, of course, the capital: Lisboa (or Lisbon) for almost the same reasons you should visit Porto!


It is so colorful and beautiful, it will definitly take your breath away :)



I mean, just look at that!!


And this is "Mosteiro dos Jerónimos".



Now, moving on to relaxation and sunbathing :)
If you know Portugal, you know Algarve. You might have heard something about it's beaches or you might have actually been there already. Anyway it's reputation is well earned :)



I don't know about you, but I think this comes realy close to paradise on earth :)



Now, we couldn't end this post withou even mentioning Portugal's AMAZING food so, here you go! :)

This is "Arroz de Pato":


This is "Tripas à Moda do Porto":


 This is a sample of two of Portugal's finest products: Bread and olives.


Hungry yet? Here's a "Francesinha" :)


And finally, you cannot leave Portugal without having tried a "Pastel de Nata" :)


Hungry yet? :)
