Leiria district is just amazing! I moved back from Lisbon to here, bc comparing cost of life and quality of life - Leiria just bits Lisbon so hard 😁😁 thank you for showcasing it so well!
I am trying to do the relocation to Portugal and your videos are helping me. Thank you. I am sitting in my home and watching your videos and I feel I know all the country because of you.❤
@amjaduda5212 Thank you, my goal is just that🙂👍 Happy to help. Now, I will also add a segment on traditional foods in Portugal (it's a bit more on the entertainment side tho). I wish you all the luck in relocating. It is worth it! 💯 See you in Portugal 🇵🇹
Thanks for the video! We will be coming from Texas, scouting the area in September and will be in Leiria for a couple days. Looking forward to the cooler weather...27°C sounds lovel...its 42°C here today!🥵
After 42° this will be refreshing for sure 😁 Have a great trip to Portugal and definitely visit Leiria, as I said in the video - a very good find 💯🇵🇹 Take care 🫡
I agree 100% my wife and I purchased a house in the Leiria district in Curcialinho just outside Ansião. We wanted to live in a small village with access to grocery shopping and not in a bigger town. Thanks for sharing!
@user-pf7qg5rr3w Thank you for your comment 👍 My wife, after watching the video is curious about the location as well. For me, I loved it and it's one of the top cities in Portugal now🇵🇹
Although they are in the Leiria district, places like Ansião, Pedrógão Grande, Figueiró dos Vinhos or even Pombal have very little to do with what people envision when they think about Leiria, which usually is more the coastal area: Nazaré, Peniche, S. Pedro de Moel, Alcobaça, Caldas da Rainha, etc. Ansião is even closer to Tomar (around 30mins) than to Leiria (around 45mins). 🙂
Your music with the videos is always so great! You could teach some of the other you tube travel channels are thing or two - lol! Lovely city! (Also the street art is amazing.)
Fantastic. Leiria is a beautiful city... and the view up to the castelo is wonderful!! Love the intros and fab job on the map. I know where it is, but many wouldn't. The effect as great! Obrigada ~
I have been to Leiria and to a Castle I think where we could have a neat view of the city. I loved the vibe there. I think you would love trás- os- montes and Minho up north. Houses made of beautiful Stone all untouched and the people uncorrupted. Nature, farms, peace and tranquility. The purest place I ve visited. Another era back in time. I ate in a family house food made in fornos de lenha.
Hey👋 Good to see you here!🫡 Well, 27 is hot for me (especially when filming), since we are from Latvia🇱🇻😁 Answering the question about the streets, Leiria is calmer, let's say, compared with Lisbon and Porto, but it doesn't feel like a ghost city. For now, it is my favorite city in Portugal🇵🇹
I was already planning to go to Torres Novas, but I couldn't fly my drone because of some restrictions. Next time, I'll know how to confirm it, so it will be out there at some point👌 And Tomar-I've heard a lot of good things about it. Thank you for the suggestions!🫡
It's because the location is more inland (weather-wise)?🤔 I should go check it out later this year because what I saw now made me fall in love with Leiria🤎 Thank you for your comment and tip about a house👍
It's called seasons, ever heard of them? If you want to live in a place where it's Summer and good weather all year round, then Portugal isn't for you.
The month of August is vacation for Portugal. Nice video! I lived in Portugal some years back. It is absolutely beautiful. I wasn't a fan of the Portuguese people, if I'm honest. My impression of the Portuguese people is not very good, unfortunately. I am glad to see that other people are enjoying Portugal.
@teddydavis2339 Well, you know how it is with people; some are nice, some not so much. I definitely love Portuguese nature and cities. As for the people, I love Portuguese people, but my experience has always been positive (except on the road 😁). I believe this depends on where you are in Portugal; in small villages/towns, you’ll definitely find a better attitude toward you. Thank you for sharing your experience 🫡
@@module79l28 Why? If he doesn't like us, why are you bothered? He is entitled to his opinion. Personally I am not offended and I am proud to be Portuguese.
@@teddydavis2339 Do not worry. You should be honest. Even if you are generalising. We, as a country, are almost 900 years old. During such a long period of time, a lot of people did not like us, in general, and a lot of people liked us too. It is a fact of everyday life. We just can not generalise about your country because we do not know your nationality.
A city that doesn't exist can't be the best. 😉😄 I find it very strange that you couldn't get permission to fly the drone in Torres Novas but for Leiria, which is right next door to one of the major air bases in Portugal (Monte Real), you could. Adega dos Caçadores is closed on Sundays. Was it by any chance when you were there? 28:36 - And the mega shopping centre in Parceiros, which includes the Leiriashopping (it has a Continente inside), Media Markt, Staples, other supermarkets, car dealerships, a music store (Ludimusic) and other businesses. More ammenities than you'll ever need if you live there. 😄
@module79l28 What do you mean it doesn't exist? Don't tell me it's a town 😄 About the drone, yes, they dropped the height but approved all my flights 😁🇵🇹 I wasn't there on Sunday; I was on thursday I think. Have you been to this cafe? And Amigo, as always, thank you for your comments. I need to see that shopping center; it sounds massive! 🫡
@@millionplacesoneworld - Oh boy, I see you're not aware of the meme... It all started around the 2010's with a trend that every country had a city that "doesn't exist": in Germany it's Bielfeld, in the Netherlands it's Drenthe, in Brazil it's Acre, in the US it's Wyoming, and so on and so on. In Portugal it started when someone posted a map online where the Leiria district didn't exist, so a portuguese "redditer" took that map and posted a video on Reddit, starting the # leirianãoexiste trend. Then it really took off in 2021 when a new map of the Iberian Peninsula was added to the Euro Truck Simulator 2: no matter how many times the players "drove" on the A1 between Lisbon and Porto and vice-versa, they could never find the exit to Leiria because Leiria didn't exist on that map! 😆 No, I've never been to the Adega but online it says it's closed on Sundays. The LeiriaShopping itself is massive but what I was referring to is the whole area surrounding it, on both sides of the free stretch of the A19/IC2 south of Leiria. If you see "Área Comercial" written in the road signs, it's in that direction. Or just search for LeiriaShopping and look at the map. 🙂

@carlosbarbosa5821 Thank you, Amigo 👍 But I still need to improve many things for my videos. I'm learning in the process 😄 I appreciate your feedback.
Glad you found your Xarlie beer!🥳 🍺
@christineawoolley334 Me too 😁 But there's also a brewery a bit outside of the city where you can try it👌

You need to visit Tomar, the city of the knights templar. And in the way you visit my town Torres Novas.

Pretty in the Summer not much to do in the winter , longer winter and very grey and cold! Get a house with central heating if renting there!
It's because the location is more inland (weather-wise)?🤔
I should go check it out later this year because what I saw now made me fall in love with Leiria🤎
