Trip to Morocco
Trip to Morocco
Living in
the South of Portugal also gives you the opportunity to go to Northern Africa,
since it is so close!
We spent
some days travelling around Morocco, exploring different cities...
… different
traditions and aromas, through the markets and the busy streets.
We also had
the chance to see this country’s landscapes…
… and we
can all agree that being on the desert was as amazing as everyone that has been
there says it is.

Trip to Sintra
Trip to Sintra
Sintra is known for its many 19th-century Romantic
architectural monuments. Although
its heritage in buildings and nature is the most visible face of the historic
individuality of Sintra, a whole literary heritage has made the area a
legendary reference in Portuguese culture.
You can
spend a whole day visiting and discovering different castles, cathedrals and
streets.
The Quinta da Regaleira is one of the most surprising of all Sintra’s
monuments. Located on the outskirts of the town, it was built 1904 e 1910, in
the last days of the Portuguese monarchy.
This romantic property formerly belonging to the Viscondessa da Regaleira, was
acquired and enlarged by António Augusto Carvalho Monteiro (1848-1920) as his
favourite country estate. His vast fortune earned him the nickname of Monteiro
dos Milhões, (Moneybags Monteiro). He commissioned this unique project of house
and landscape from the Italian set-designer and architect Luigi Manini
(1848-1936) whose genius, along with the mastery of sculptors, stonemasons,
craftsmen who had formerly Palace Hotel do Buçaco, created this magical place.
Initiation
Well at Quinta da Regaleira. The well is divided in nine platforms
reminiscent of the Divine Comedy by Dante and the nine circles of Hell, the
nine sections of Purgatory and the nine skies which constitute Paradise. At the
base of the well you will find a Rosicrucian Cross, which also happened to be
the coat of arms of Carvalho Monteiro.
You can
also enjoy walking through the nature, surrounded by history.

Trip to Lisboa
The capital
of Portugal is the place which must be visited!
Lisbon is one of the oldest cities in the world, and one of
the oldest in Western Europe, predating other modern European capitals such as London,
Paris and Rome by centuries.
The city of Lisbon is rich in architecture; Romanesque, Gothic,
Manueline, Baroque, Modern and Postmodern
constructions can be found all over Lisbon.
To know
more about the history of this amazing city, it is easy to take some of the
walking tours in different languages.
To feel the
spirit of the city you should climb or take a tram to one of the many
Miradouros.
A few days surrounded by beauty, warm atmosphere, kind people from all over the world are the things you can see in Lisbon!
“Cidade branca
semeada
de pedras
Cidade azul
semeada
de céu….
Cidade que se degrada
cidade que acaba.” Adília Lopes
