Praia da Adraga, Lagoa Azul, Barragem do Rio da Mula

Praia da Adraga







Praia Grande





Azenhas do Mar







Lagoa Azul




Barragem do Rio da Mula - this is the only dam close to Lisbon.

Close to Sintra


I was pretty lucky to assist at some kind of wine tasting combined with a vernissage of a painting exhibition. This lovely house is also used for "soap-operas" shootings. The place is huge and cosy - it has a lake, a lot of orange trees, lovely buildings.

This is the land of the most beautiful earrings :-) those gipsy like gold earrings that can either turn into kitch jewelry, or can gracefully be worn like some ladies do :-)) this is all gold and very expensive!!

Monchique, Serra de Monchique and around



Monchique is a a small town, pretty hidden I would say - accidently discovered the 16th century Igreja Matriz with its manueline portal.
