Exploring Portugal: Lisbon to the Algarve

October 6, 2019October 6, 2019 Jess

With dramatic cliffs that hug the Atlantic coastline, Portugal constitutes the southwestern most tip of Europe. A prime position for sunset viewing, for sure, but also a sliver of land that offers rich culture (and equally rich cuisine), stunning scenery, genuinely nice people and equally important, extreme value.

B U R A N O // Candy-colored charm just forty-five minutes via ferry from Venice 🍬 Spent a morning strolling the streets, nibbling cicchetti and soaking up all of these vibrant hues (while dodging dozens of girls in bright dresses getting it all for the ‘gram.)
These falls though! // Visiting @plitvicelakesnp with little kids seemed daunting, but turned out to be such a memorable morning. I struggled to find helpful tips online, so am summing up below exactly how we approached it, in case it helps anyone else…
D U B R O V N I K // Blue sea, clay roofs, and those slippery-smooth limestone paved streets. Among Croatia’s coastal Old Towns, this one has got to be the MOST. The most of everything - grandeur and gelato and cobblestone.
R O A D T R I P // When you weren’t expecting to get Bosnia stamped in your passport, but here you are. 🤷🏻‍♀️
More than half way through this trip, but love the idea of capturing a snippet from a window in each place we stay.
M O N T E N E G R O // I guess what I’m trying to say is: come to Kotor, book this adorable Airbnb, hire a boat, sip wine on the balcony, walk Old Town, climb to the fortress, and swim in the sea.
K O T O R // When you carry your children up the equivalent of 60 flights of steps and they still can’t be bothered to smile. 💀
Sometimes you choose a travel destination and then find a place to stay. Other times, you see a balcony on Airbnb that melts you into a puddle of happiness and get yourself to Montenegro.
