The 50 cultural things you have to do at least one in Portugal
Participate in a half marathon in Lisbon and have the privilege of running over the 25th of April Bridge - Running a marathon, perhaps. In Lisbon, it is unlikely.
Browse the tents of the Estremoz Antiques and Antiques Fair in search of a unique piece - Not a priority! Old things and antiques dont fascinate me! But Ive been to Estremoz several times.
Discover the connection between Porto and the famous Harry Potter - Lello Bookstore saga ? Check it out !
Exploring the Costa Vicentina, following the road by the sea to Cape Sardão, and watching the sea storks - Many years ago I made this route with my parents ... but I can remember almost nothing. To do / repeat, clearly!
Climbing the 686 steps of the impressive staircase that culminates in the Shrine of Our Lady of Remedies of Lamego - Ive been there many, many times. But Im not sure if Ive climbed the entire staircase !
Rent a boat and watch the sunset as we travel the Tagus River - One day, who knows?
Let the Portuguese miss you in Mr. Fado , one of the most authentic in the capital - One day, who knows? Although he is more a fan of Coimbra fado than Lisbon.
Taking a bath with the Atlantic Ocean as seen in the Tidal Pools , in Leça da Palmeira - I work so close and never went there. I really have to go there and take S .
Going through the charming Beira Mar neighborhood and getting lost in its network of canals in Aveiro , Venice of Portugal - Ive visited Aveiro, but I dont think Ive ever been to Beira Mar and I still have to ride a moliceiro .
Going north and renewing the towel sets at home, as there are factories that produce some of the most prestigious brands in the world - No matter! I always had articles from these factories, or I wasnt from the area! Get to know the Portuguese culture through the articles of Vida Portuguesa stores - Check!
Eat a razor clam rice in Tavira , suggesting the restaurant Noélia & Jerónimo - to try on a trip to the Algarve! Feeling like youre in Rome, walking through Bragas beautiful historic center - I dont know if I felt like Im in Rome, but Ive been to this historical center several times. Check it out !
Eating sardines in the neighborhood of Madragoa during the feasts of Santo António in Lisbon - Should not happen! Let the shudder as the roar of the waves hit the rocks of the mysterious Boca do Inferno , near Cascais - Check !
Surrendering body and soul to the Burning of the Ribbons of Coimbra - I surrendered body and soul to the Burning of the Ribbons of Porto. Is not the same thing? Maybe not! But Im not going to Coimbra now!
Visit Cape St. Vincent - Check !
Have a coffee at Martinho da Arcada, in Lisbon, where Fernando Pessoa wrote most of his poems - Can it be any other drink?
Discover the green wine route in the Minho region, starting with the first capital of the country, Guimarães - Guimarães? Check it out! Check it out! Check it out !
Feel the religious fervor of Fatima , the most famous pilgrimage place in the country - Check (with Pope and all)! Travel back in time in the spectacular Roman ruins of Conímbriga near Coimbra - Check !
Feel the immensity of nature, camping a weekend in the Peneda-Gerês National Park - Not yet camping but Ive been there many times. Check it out !
Eat the famous fried cuttlefish in the city of Setúbal - One day, who knows?
Feeling cramped at the São João Festivities in Porto, the longest night of the year at Invicta - Check !
Riding an imposing horse on a deserted, almost wild beach in Comporta - It must not happen!
Attend the Campo Maior Flower Festival - Check !
Bathe in the river pool of Piódão , one of the most beautiful villages in the country - Ive visited Piódão , but didnt know the river pool!
Enjoy the absolutely magical landscape at Lagoa das Sete Cidades , on the island of São Miguel, Azores - Check ! It is always an experience to repeat!
Pay a visit to the new Lisbon pertussis - the MAAT - I saw it! Account?
Relaxing on Saturday afternoon at Meco Beach and letting yourself in at night dancing to the music of Bar do Peixe - It should not happen!
Get on a boat to visit the Ponta da Piedade caves and rock formations in Lagos , Algarve - Certainly , despite the nausea by boat!
Taste the Belém pastries of the Old Belem Confectionery in Lisbon, an authentic work of Portuguese pastry - Check ! But Im not a special fan.
Climb aboard a steam train and travel the route between Peso da Régua and Tua - To do! Same! Have a fish meal in Porto Cov o, a fishing village in the Costa Vicentina - Ive been to Porto Covo but I havent had a fish meal there!
Sit on the golden dunes of Guincho beach , one of the most beautiful in the country - One day, who knows?
Buying books at St. James Church in the village of Óbidos , classified by UNESCO as the Literary City - Buying books can be anywhere, so when I return to Óbidos, I go to church and buy one! :)
Learn all about Port wine , the quintessential Portuguese elixir, in the cellars in Gaia. "I dont know everything, but Ive visited the Caves more than once!" Check it out !
Im not too bad! Ive been to most of the sites mentioned, although I may not have done exactly what they listed. But there are also things that tell me nothing! : D And there are missing experiences / things in the list that seem very relevant, of which I highlight two:
- Take a walk through the Levadas on the island of Madeira . - Climb to Pico and enjoy the view over the remaining islands of the central group, in the Azores.
