Costa Blanca, Spain

Live classical music on the street below and a bottle of cava from our host makes a lovely first impression.

Obrigado Lisbon

We cannot talk about our impressions of Lisbon without referring to the quaint single-car trams that speed up and down its hills.

Belém, a suburb of Lisbon on the Tagus River, is filled with museums, historical sights and monuments.

If you are a bibliophile, a visit to the historic Joanina Library at the University of Coimbra should be added to your bucket list.
