I fell for PORTUGUESE countryside
Calm, windy and beautiful
There were some dubts in my head when I first saw it in my e-mail: „Accommodation resides in a rural area of the natural park…“ I Just hoped that there won’t be many spiders.
All those famous places visited regularly by many people have already some reputation despite different personal experience. But for those places that even google can’t find much about, we tend to create our own fantasy. And nothing can equal reality, so different, so breathtaking.
Variety of houses in the area of Rio Major.
Every day, we were watching this donkey browsing for food. He simply doesn’t care about the world outside his meadow.
Can we stop and stare for a while? (Stopping and staring was actually a significant part of my time spent there)
Brought from fields…
…to the table.
To conclude this article, how’s Portuguese countryside like? Harsh like ocean whirl, sweet like home- grown oranges, proud as its citizens and as beautiful as can human fantasy really capture it.
