    Barcelos is the city of the Rooster...there is a legend about the Rooster of Barcelos....I recommend visiting Barcelos on a market day...Feira de Barcelos is one of the biggest in Portugal and is always on Thursdays... . Guimarães is also worth a visit....this is where Portugal was born....you have a lot to visit here in the North of Portugal...let's go

    Alcobaça is what made us seriously consider moving away from the sea... we were living in Nazare and our sons were at school there... we often went there for coffee and walks to escape the madness of Nazare and soon realised that it made sense to check out inland Portugal... we love Alcobaça!

      Hey, man 🫡
      I didn't know you were living in Nazaré. How long time you lived there? Nazaré was also on my radar, but you say it's too much?

      ​@@millionplacesoneworldDear friend Alcobaça is great for quality of life and you have São Martinho do Porto beach but in summer is very crowded...if you want the same feeling of slow living and culture/ history of Alcobaça and a very long remote beach consider Pombal municipality and praia do osso da baleia (whale bone beach)...you have plenty of nature there close to mata do urso!

    Hi, if you enjoyed the monastery there you should definitely go and view the Monastery in Batalha, but try and do it on a cloudy day as this will give the most authentic experience of the architecture. It is also a UNESCO heritage site. Manter-se bem!

      Hey 🫡 How have you been? All good?
      I'm currently saving up funds for my trip to Northern Portugal. Since it will require a longer time to film and stay there, I'm committed to making it happen. However, I'm a bit worried that I might love it so much that I won't want to come back!
      Regarding the car, the one in the video is my friend's van. I still have my Mercedes🚗
      I plan to apply for citizenship in 2-3 years, as it requires living in Portugal for 5 years. I've finally started taking a language course, so I hope to improve my Portuguese speaking skills soon.
      Thank you for your well wishes🙂 Sometimes it can be challenging to stay on track, but I'm determined not to give up!

    The "thingy" on the "c" is called "cedilha" and it's there only to indicate that the "c" has the "ss" sound instead of the normal "c" sound. It doesn't change the way the "a" before or after are pronounced. 🙂

    Love the video....many expats on the group I follow have praised Alcobaca...some moved there. I think it can be hard to find long term rentals if I remember correctly. BTW....and also @theportugeeza....do you prefer Nazare or Sao Martinho? Will be staying in both in late October and just wondering if I should split the time evenly as I have planned now.....4 days in each....I like to at least settle in and get the feel of a place for a few days.
