Started off in Lisbon. 
We rented beforehand a nice room at the gayhotel "Blue Angel". 
A very nice small hotel right in the centre, -and by a miracle we found a free 
parkingspot right in front of the hotel. 
Parking in Lisbon is totally impossible, -so leave the car, walk or go by bus,
-much easier and more fun!

After 2 days in 
Lisbon 
we went round the peninsula to
Sintra,
-visited the beautiful castle and drove to Nazare.

passed  Alcobaca, Batalha and Fatima.

Then towards Portalegre and
Castelo de Vide.

Then right through the mountains to Aviero and on our way we saw the
impressing university of Coimbra.

After a couple of rainfull nights and nice paellas we took off to Braganca 
through Viseo and Villa Real,
-forgot to visit the holiest place on earth :
 Matteus!!!  (-I love the wine) and arrived in pouring rain in Braganca. !

We camped in 
Parque Natural de Montezinho,

After having looked (in vain)for the 
Iberian wolf and bear 
we drove to Porto,-but what we really needed was beach,sun and relaxation,
-so by incident we found a little paradise called

Furadouro 

south of Porto,-stayed there for the rest of the holiday.
