Yes, its sometimes hard to strike a balance between car accessibility, and local livability. And we Portuguese are loud drivers. We honk a lot. Thankfully, I think there's movement to make some areas more friendly towards pedestrians and free from heavy traffic ❤️🇵🇹

That is absolutely true. Alas it is very Portuguese to feel saudades for a Portugal that is no more. It's been that way for 450 years ❤️🇵🇹

Viseu is indeed a wonderful city, with beautiful architecture, viewpoints, foods, and people. I'm ashamed I didn't know the city better, and I'll definitely be coming back soon! ❤️🇵🇹

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoy watching these walks as much as I enjoy filming them! There's so much to see in our small country ♥️🇵🇹

I'm glad you liked this walk. I hope you enjoy it here. This is a multicultural area, but it is safe, very central, and well connected by underground, buses, and trams ❤️🇵🇹

@@PortugueseFlaneur We may even speak to an immigration lawyer while we are there- but we want to be careful not to cause damage if we do. We have a lot to think about!

I liked Tallinn very much. It is quiet, beautiful, and clean. ❤️🇪🇪

Wow! That sounds very interesting! Feel free to use any footage from my channel. And good luck with your movie! Santa Maria is a beautiful place! ♥️🇵🇹🇨🇦

@@PortugueseFlaneur Thank you so much !

A wonderful place. I feel like it's a second home to me too, having lived there for 2 years ♥️🇵🇹

I liked Barcelona

It really is! ❤️🇵🇹

Lol. What? XD

@ you heard me…take your white sneaker wearing, open mouth chewing, California Lilly White asses back to where you came from. 😏

It is indeed. Lisbon is very different nowadays from what it once was like ❤️🇵🇹

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed this walk! ❤️🇵🇹

@@PortugueseFlaneur Um lugar onde passei 15 anos da minha vida, os mais felizes. Infelizmente em fevereiro meu marido faleceu, perdi meu melhor amigo, e eu e nosso filho tivemos que vir embora para o Brasil, é confesso sonho a cada dia em poder um dia retornar. Meu marido nasceu em Gaia, e conhecia cada lugar deste lindo país, e nós dois fazíamos muito esse passeio pela boa vista, foz . Obrigada 🌹

Os meus sentimentos. 😔 Espero que o vídeo tenha ajudado a relembrar bons momentos e que um dia possam regressar ❤️🇵🇹

@@PortugueseFlaneur Eu que agradeço. Sim, também espero que esse seja o plano do universo para nós, se for o melhor para todos. Dizem que se fomos felizes muito num lugar, e fomos embora, não devemos retornar pois estamos indo em busca de um tempo que já não existe mais, mas por vezes acredito que nem sempre pode ser assim, mas também tem a sua lógica. Obrigada e continuação de um bom dia, e optimos vídeos.

Faial is indeed a wonderful island! And Horta is a beautiful city! ❤️🇵🇹

That's absolutely true! Unfortunately it's an old problem. Youngsters make their graffiti everywhere, usually at night. Homeowners and local authorities can't clean it up fast enough. Sometimes they'll even graffiti over actual artistic murals. Vandalism has been on the rise over the last couple years, as have other problems: the amount or rubbish found on the streets, instances of as*ault, extremely loud music being blasted everywhere, public ur*nation in every corner, etc... It's very sad, and it makes our beautiful city feel terrible. I hope local authorities find a way to deal with it in the future ❤️🇵🇹

O Funchal é mesmo uma cidade linda! Cumprimentos de Portugal :) ❤️🇵🇹

Câmara de Lobos está muito diferente. Eu visitei a primeira vez em 2013 e também noto muitas diferenças. É uma terra muito bonita ❤️🇵🇹

Wow! That's such an interesting life story. Glad to hear you enjoyed the video and revisited childhood memories. Hope you can get back there someday. Everything must be so different from how you remember it ❤️🇵🇹

É verdade, muitas vezes ao caminhar, passamos por sítios ruidosos. Já pensei meter música ambiente nas caminhadas, mas o objectivo é mesmo serem imersivas e darem a ideia de como cada sítio. Parte da essência de um local é o som, e às vezes o ruído. Obrigado pelo feedback. Tenho tentado diminuir o ruído digitalmente, tenho de continuar a tentar melhorar isso. ❤️🇵🇹

I don't understand what you wrote. But I hope you enjoy watching Ribeira Brava as much as I did. ❤️🇵🇹

Olá! A Sertã é uma pequena cidade da Beira Baixa. Fica um pouco a oeste de Castelo Branco, na Zona do Centro de Portugal ❤️🇵🇹

That sounds wonderful! I can't imagine how different everything must have looked back then. Even in the last couple decades, so much has changed in Benfica... As for the cheese, it's one of my favourites. My family is from near the area where it's made (in central Portugal, mostly on the north slope of Serra da Estrela). Thankfully, I think you can still find a good wheel of Queijo da Serra for less than 100 euros. I'm curious to visit the various cheese festivals that promote that particular type of soft-runny sheep's cheese

@@PortugueseFlaneur I remember walking to see Benfica at the old stadium, on what must now be Rua João de Freitas Branco, there was nothing on either side of the road but 3 metre high vegetation. Below Av. Lusíada there no buildings, just one very large barraca community. And of course there was no Colombo. in 1995, I passed by to see a good 30 cranes working at the same time., to build it.

Mind-blowing! I remember Colombo before it got the towers, and I have a very vague memory of the old stadium. Sometimes when I'm filming through a place, I wonder what it will look like 50 years from now 🤔

@@PortugueseFlaneur Pink Street is a good example. I remember going on a walk about some 30 years ago, passing along Rua Nova do Carvalho, and being propositioned for sex because I looked like an American tourist. Look at the street now. I have a love/hate relationship with Baixa, and its transformation, particularly the last dozen years. Seeing all the beautiful buildings rejuvinated is a positive, but only catering to tourists, thereby displacing all the original businesses and people that gave Lisboa character, is disheartening.

@@nigelsmith3719 Yes, the positive change is not without its downside. Many places seem to be losing their true essence

Thnx! We are doing the same thing, but 10,000Km away! :D

@@PortugueseFlaneur I subscribed. I'll stop by often!

@@vividspace1225 I'm your subscriber as well. Looking forward to your walks in Korea! :D

É uma lagoa, chamada Lagoa das Furnas (por estar perto da Vila das Furnas), e julgo que se pode nadar na água, e há actividades com barcos. Há ainda um trilho circular que começa perto da vila e circunda toda a lagoa ❤️🇵🇹

So glad you enjoyed this video. Madeira is truly a beautiful place! ❤️🇵🇹

Madeira is such a beautiful, peaceful place. I can't imagine how different Funchal must have looked 40 years ago. The market has indeed been recently renovated, and it has become an attraction in and of itself. I hope you get to visit Madeira again soon. I know the contrast you will find will be stark, compared to what you remember from before. Madeira has changed so much. Even just over the past decade! ❤️🇵🇹

Thnx! It was a lovely walk! ❤️🇵🇹

do you know other way to look for rent in Funchal different to ImoVirtual and Idealista?,

No idea XD

Depende do que fazes. Deixar um carro de luxo estacionado com os vidros abertos e a chave na ignição é perigoso. Mas se te portares e vestires normalmente e não tentares arranjar sarilhos, não é perigoso. Tem alguns bairros mais problemáticos, nomeadamente a Cova da Moura, onde a malta gosta que os deixem em paz e não vão lá, mas o resto do concelho é tranquilo

It is such a nice city! ❤️🇪🇸

It really is! ❤️🇪🇸

É mesmo! ❤️🇵🇹

Madeira is a beautiful island. So much nature in such small space. I always love visiting, even with the social issues (which one finds everywhere), and some over-tourism at the most popular spots. It's one of my favourite places to be ❤️🇵🇹

No, the Azores is part of Portugal. A 9 island archipelago with beautiful nature ❤️🇵🇹

Thanks! Barcelona is a beautiful city, and very walkable! ❤️🇵🇹

❤️🇵🇹

It really is! ❤️🇪🇸

Indeed it was! ❤️

Yes, they are ❤️🇵🇹

It is a very nice area. I'm curious what it will look like after this boom. Thank you for your encouragement! ❤️🇵🇹

So happy you enjoyed it! Hope you like Madeira! It is such a beautiful place. You have cosmopolitan life in Funchal, high mountains towards the centre of the island, lush forests with hiking trails around the island, beaches in Porto Santo. So much to do and see! Hope you have fun there! ❤️🇵🇹

I've heard similar stories from people who grew up on Santa Maria Island. It is a lovely place. I'm glad you liked the video. It's comments like yours that keep me filming. I have a few more walking videos from Santa Maria (see the map in the description), and also some footage in a LoFi video I made as a bit of an experiment with still shots from the Açores. As I remember it, the bits from Santa Maria are a drone video from São Lourenço and some cows grazing on a hill just East of Vila do Porto. I was going to film Maia too, with the waterfall and the sharp cliffs, but my friend who was travelling with me noticed he'd forgotten his bag somewhere else, and we had to leave in a rush to go get it. 😅 Thanks for sharing your story. ❤️🇵🇹

1970-1976 for me. The memories run deep.

It was indeed! ❤️🇵🇹

Hahaha! Obrigado! ❤️🇵🇹 Narramundos também é um nome muito criativo! 😁

Obrigado! É tão bom caminhar pelos sítios do quotidiano ❤️🇵🇹

Madeira ist die Blumeninsel! ❤️🌷🌸🌹🌺 ❤️🇵🇹

Madeira gets heat waves well into autumn. Even in winter, it's quite hot. Hope you enjoy it again this year! ❤️🇵🇹

@@PortugueseFlaneurthat year was extremely hot even the taxi driver told us and the locals that it was hotter than normal we also were in Funchal in 2018 same time and it was not that hot.

Boa tarde para um passeio na Ericeira! ❤️🇵🇹

Ponta Delgada is a beautiful city! ❤️🇵🇹

It is a lovely neighbourhood and a beautiful park ❤️🇵🇹
