Santa Cruz and Ericeira – Portugal
After spending 4 days in Lisbon, Andrew and I based ourselves in Estremadura for the remainder of our week in Portugal. We wanted to enjoy the sunshine while still have places to go to and visit if we fancied. When exploring the south of Europe this is often how we structure our vacations: half a…

A day in Peniche, Portugal
During our stay on the Atlantic Coast of Portugal, just north of Lisbon, we decided to explore some of the villages in the region. So on a cloudy morning, we headed north of Vila Louro to Peniche, a town poking out of the coastline into the ocean. We arrived mid-morning in what seemed to be a…

Obidos is only an hour…

Restaurante Noah – Santa Cruz, Portugal
On our first evening out of Lisbon, we headed north-west to the Atlantic coast and decided to spend a few days in the Torres Vedras region. The owner of Vila Louro recommended we grab dinner at Restaurante Noah in Santa Cruz which was only a 10-minutes drive from where we were staying. Unfortunately, it was already dark when…

Under Lisbon bridge
You don’t really realise how big the 25 de Abril bridge is until you are under it. I also love the colour coordination between the bridge and its surroundings. Lisbon – 2017 Follow me on Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, Youtube and Trover!
