Hungary to Portugal There are two popular ways to go to Portugal from Hungary: One is through Austria and Switzerland or southern Germany. I used to take the road through Vienna, Linz, Salzburg where I would normally stop for a short walk, and then to Munich and finally, Switzerland. I did this first part in…

The Portugal – Hungary road-trip is difficult for one reason: you know you are leaving the ocean behind. I think we had 5 cars along the years. The small cars have the advantage of low consumption and cheaper motorway fees. Bigger and modern cars are always more comfortable and have more space, however if something…

I love this city in the Basque country. It is a gem of the bay of Biscay. We have spent a few days on the beautiful beaches of this holiday resort several times already and it is always a pleasure to return. It is an adorable town with its multicultural atmosphere, the narrow streets, parking…

until 15th of April 2023 The minimalist EDP headquarters building is already worth a visit, and now it hosts the temporary VHILS exhibition until the 15th of April 2023. Free and open air. It is a pity that the artefacts are behind a fence… It just makes it a bit more difficult to get what…

Our initial plan was to go to Morocco, however, due to weather reasons we opted to go for a weekend surf trip to the South of Portugal because it looked more sunny there then in certain parts of Morocco. It was such a good decision. Fantastic weather, great waves and yummy food. We really needed…

Serra da Estrela in November is full of autumn colors. A weekend is a very short time to discover this beautiful mountain region in Portugal, but this was all we got. We will definitely return, perhaps, in the summer, when we can enjoy the stunning waterfalls and swim in the crystal clear lakes. I have…

This magical spot in Tessin or Ticino as the Italians say, is in the hills, close to the Italian border of Switzerland. If one comes from the heart of Switzerland it is important to consider the Gotthard tunnel. It can get very busy on a Saturday morning for example. Should that happen, there is an…

This is a post about Mano our beloved dog whom we recently had to put down due to tongue cancer at the age of 15. He had a happy life full of love, adventures and travels. I am forever grateful fo my friend Katy who gave me this little bundle of joy. Mano was originally…

Írtam Aljezurról angolul korábban. Aljezur annyira jó hely, hogy élnék ott. Ismerősök mesélték akik ott élnek, hogy ez volt az európai hippi-bázis már a 70-es évektől; a kis portugál kalifornia. Egyre többen költöztek oda, vettek területet, házat és telepedtek le a környéken campervanekkel, lakókocsikkal Németországból, Angliából, minden felől. A mi kedves ismerősünk egy belvárosi kis…

Bazar das Artes, azaz Kézműves bazárban jàrtunk a hétvégén Sesimbra mellett Azóia-ban. Itt Portugáliában nincs “rendes” tél ugye, de a kellemes élő zene Leo Marsh -tól és a levegőben terjengő finom forralt bor illat, igazi karácsonyi vásár hangulatát idézte. Szemet gyönyörködtető kézműves csodákban nem volt hiány: volt itt kézműves Peter Pão féle kovászos kenyér, gluténmentes…
