People in India are being scam in the name of liking your video. anonymous msg came from an unknown no. and she told to like 3 videos and get 150 rupees.and after they get scammed
Misleading videos, they seem like genuine people but they are talking everything up to get followers and money on click throughs, have been on the same Douro river tour they went on and it was shithouse compared to their review. There was no wine on the boat...Spent 7 of the 10hours on a big arse bus...
Please don’t expect what you see in the advertising for the Douro Valley tour. Misleading offerings. There is NO wine on the boat as per the videos and the booking photo. This was the main reason we booked this specific tour - wine on the river 🩷. Less wine served in the tastings than in the video. We were made to walk (without any prior indication to taking the tour) up and down a steep and uneven hill of 8 mins downhill (more time uphill). This was 37 degrees on cobble stones. Other tour buses of the same size did not make guests walk up and down the hill. There was no excuse of lack of space because all the other busses were gone but we were still made to walk back up the hill without warning. We were sad that we did not go to Croft Winery too. I do not recommend. Hire a driver, take your own adventure and see more of the beautiful area.
What a great tour. Thanks guys. Looks like you might need to go into some kind of 12 step program by the time you get home. 😂So much beauty everywhere you look. And the food!! Have fun and stay safe. Love you. ❤🙏
So glad we could help!! You are gonna love Porto 😍 We have a “Best of Algarve” video coming out really soon. Don’t know if you were going but just wanted to help ❤️❤️
I just returned from Porto and Lisbon (2 nd time). Loved every moment in each place. There is so much to see and do in these amazing cities. I went on tours and learned so much about the history & culture. I definitely wish to return to Porto.
Great video! My wife and I are retiring there in 2025 and are counting the months down. We are making an exploratory trip next April. We're looking at Madeira, Tavira and Carvoeiro. This is our first video of you guys and we've liked and subscribed. Looking forward to more!! (My wife says, "They are so cute!")
@@ian.and.ana. you must think perhaps to come to Belgium..is really beautiful too, where I live...flamish side 😊....and why not cross the boarder to Nederland☺️.There is so much to discover😁
@ian.and.ana. Ana- do you have a link for any of your cute outfits/clothes?! Going to Portugal this summer and would love to have some cute outfits similar to yours!
Do you need to buy tickets for the clerigos tower? Should you buy them ahead of time to skip lines etc.? Are the lines bad without tickets like the library?
Loved that you enjoyed. Only got a sad that you did not take the train up the Douro river to visit the vineyards! Most surely would make your trip even more memorable! Miss my city so much!!!!
portugal has been on my list for quite sometime. did a study abroad in athens and wanted to extend my trip to visit, but didn’t have enough time! it is so stunning and i can’t get back soon enough, definitely so high up on the to do list, love this!
Oh my gosh! I've only ever been to the Lisbon airport and sadly never got to see any of Portugal. It's now super high on my bucket list. In fact, I would probably just go for the Pastel de Nata. Those things look amazing. Obrigada!
Hi Guys... Lived in the US for 25 Years but I have to say, I love my Birth Country "Portugal "...and you guys are AMAZING ... ❤ Please enjoy Portugal, where the sun shines on , the nature, the food, the sites, the people, our History, are all a Magestic and Magical combination of so many things that make people fall in Love and eventually stay 🥰❤
What is the best way to get there with the least amount of exhaustion? I have been to Lisbon before but should I transfer and take a flight to Porto or when I arrive in Lisbon, get on the train to Porto? Thanks in advance!
In fact we (Portuguese) also say "Apelido" for Surname, like Silva, Sousa, etc. Nickname in Portugal is more used as a short name, like Beta (Elizabete), Zé (José), etc. We also call "Borrachão/Borrachona", those who drink too much 😀 Keep up bringing us good videos ❤❤
Hello guys, I live and Malaga, Spain very close to Portugal, i want to visit for a day only or 2, can you give me a quick list on where to visit please? Thank you in advance
Amazing video, makes me miss the time I visited Porto 😍 Seems that both of you are really enjoying Europe. If you are one day in Latvia, let us know, would be awesome to show you some amazing places here 🤗
Hi guys, can you share a link / the name of the campsite you were staying in? And thank you for the videos! We’re coming to Portugal for a van trip next week, maybe we’ll meet on the roads 💛
Just updated the description below this video with the campiste information!! The campsite is not the best looking but it has the best location. Have the best trip ever and you never know we may bump into you one of these days WOOT WOOT
A little correction and a few tips for your next time here: "Playa" as in "Playa de Salgueiros" is spanish. In Portuguese we write "Praia". Now for the tips: to get to know Porto you really need to walk. Yes, you can take buses, tours, Ubers, etc. but you will miss a lot. Your recommendations about Torre dos Clérigos and the Sé Catedral were spot on, but you missed Palácio de Cristal and a couple of other spots. And, when you're at the Sé, try walking around it. There's a lot more to see. Have fun :)
10:07 - I don't know where you got that information from but it's wrong, there has never been such a high temperature registered in Portugal. Since the records started 1931, the highest temperature registered was 47,3ºC (~117ºF) in the town of Amareleja (Alentejo region) in August of 2003.
Hahaha when I was editing this was the last touch to make to the video and I took a risk without looking it up 😞 So sorry to all the Harry Potter fans out there!! See I told you I was a fake fan 🤣
I was a week in Porto for a vacation.I rented a homestay.Since i have no tourist giude i visited limited places such as the tall bridge. I cook myself because its hard to find halal food
If the good Lord ever sees to let me go to Europe my first place will be Sicily then Tuscany maybe Rome then Spain definitely Portugal I've always wanted to go there grease Ireland and Scotland in that order. But first I gotta kick this cancers ass I go for my second treatment tomorrow every 21 days thank God it's all in one spot on my body and the only side effects I'm getting is being really tired none of the other messy side effects as you could say. Enjoy life stay safe stay strong stay healthy and definitely enjoy because you never know✌✌👏💪🎅🚌🌻👍
We believe you will beat cancers ass and visit all of these places and more!! Praying for you ❤️❤️ Hopefully our content can be inspiration to keep you optimistic
Sadly we used spanish music because the 3 websites we use for Copyright-Free music had no Portuguese tunes. If we used copyright music, we wuldn't be able to make money off of the ads
@@ian.and.ana. I wonder how other wonderlust/tourism/living abroad channels get Portuguese music?🤔 Besides, there's plenty of "non-ethnic", "non-world music" soundtrack style beats copyright free that can be used without this misrepresentation of a country's musical identity. We're Portuguese, NOT spanish.
You guys are so kind, adventurous, genuine, humble, optimistic, and gracious. I love that you bring in this channel with kindness, humour, positivity, humility, and gratitude. Greetings from New Zealand 🇳🇿🇳🇿♥️♥️🥰🥰
The writer lived very close to this bookstore, it's impossible not to have gone there. It is said that there was a disagreement between her and the bookstore owners about commissions ( money).
She didn't live near Lello. She lived on Rua do Duque de Saldanha, exactly two kilometres from the bookstore, when she was married, and before that, when she was single, she lived even farther away. For context, that's pretty far in tightly-packed-together urban area--which means people in this city basically have all they need within a small radius and there's not much reason that she'd be regularly ambling past that shop--and this was also over a decade before the metro system showed up, something which greatly increased people's mobility. Even if she had lived near the bookstore, that's no reason to believe that she would have visited it. You need to historicize: She lived in Porto in the early 90s. At that time, the bookstore was, believe it or not, barely a tourist attraction and, for at least some residents, barely a footnote in their knowledge of their own city. I lived in Loios, the location of the bookstore, for several years in the early 00's, and even in that later time it was a sleepy, less-than-heavily trafficked place. While I'm relying on more than purely personal experience here, I'll note that I, even as bibliophile, was unaware of its existence for nearly a year, and in subsequent years when I did visit it a few times, I found the place nearly empty, and as a result had long, uninterrupted chats with the manager. Yes, that's hard to believe now, based on the winding lines all the way down the hill that can be seen every day, but that's the way it was. The downtown area was not Disneyland. I understand the business perspective in Porto promoting its ties to JK Rowling, but most are specious, don't stand up to even slight scrutiny, and often rely on painfully literally-minded connection-making. (A random fountain features a griffin; therefore, that must be what inspired House Gryffindor---never mind that the house's emblem is a mere lion.) Note that I say "most" here, because, yes, even though JK wasn't too fond of her time in Porto--that's an entirely different post--things did rub off on her. She has confirmed, for instance, that the cloaks worn by Porto uni students did in fact inspire the Hogwarts dress code. Maybe it appears that I doth protest too much, but I have a pretty invested reason why some of this misguided mythology irks me. Just one insight: My former boss has been cited multiple times as the definite inspiration for Professor Dumbledore. At first it was mentioned as a mere possibility; over time, though, and as these things go, that notion has ossified into established fact. I mean, just look at this picture of him posted in a "Here's What Inspired Rowling" article in a local paper! If you squint, does he not look like he could pass for an elderly, wizened professor? Well, yeah, I guess? But, maybe, you know, don't put your finger on the scale and actually select an image that's contemporaneous with Rowling's tenure in Porto, not one from a few years ago? Because, you know, on the day that she left this city--in quite a rush and quite unhappily, I should say--that guy was in his early forties. Here's the thing. She's a writer. Even if Harry Potter is not your particular cup of tea, anyone should be able to concede that she has imagination, that she's capable of conjuring up people, places, and things without having to constantly rely on literal 1:1 cognates. And when it comes to fairly basic things--I mean, come on, Dumbledore the wise old mentor is a timeworn trope, and archetype--that's especially the case. Sorry, but it wasn't a cool art deco staircase in a Portuguese bookshop which begat the world Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
I´m portuguese and i dont know anyone who eats pastel de natas as breakfast... maybe once in a while people do, but saying "most of people do" is a huge exaggeration, specially in a time where people are becoming more aware of their own health and go for better food choices, which pastel de nata is not.
Ya, I’m surprised the tour guide said that’s a typical breakfast 😂🙊, def not. Maybe some ppl eat it for brekkie but it’s not the norm. Breakfast isn’t an important meal for 🇵🇹, maybe they have a coffee & bread w butter :)
It is insane that a local says that pastel de nata is the common Portuguese breakfast!! I am Portuguese and that is insanely wrong. We have bread, cereals, oats, coffee; cakes/pastry in the morning is really not the norm. Then, the pastel the nata is part of a traditional 'convent' array of recipes. The real reason for the birth of these pastries is that, indeed, the monks had a lot of know-how and needed to make a living but they did this by being self sufficient and working the land and maintaining poultry, rabbitry, etc. for in-house consumption. The surplus of produce and time then allowed for inventions such as these... And other delicious 'doces de convento'... Anyway, it sounds like a rant, but it isn't... it is just inaccuracies that are well intended, I am sure.
1:37 embaraçada does not exist in portuguese. You can say like maybe "envergonhada" (a woman/girl who is embarassed). The reason we find the spanish "embarazada" funny is bc it looks like the english "embarassed". Also "apelido" means "surname" and "nickname" actually means "alcunha". Beijinhos de portugal😉👋
"Owned half the world" that's a stretch. Spain and Portugal divided up the world but they any actually owned it. Grand plans that never came to fruition. Great video though!
Poerugal did not "own" other countries. It inviade/colonized areas outside of Portugal and killed/ens;aved people outside of its own defined boundaries. Does not equate to "owning" other countries.
We licked it therefor they were ours. But seriously which nations did not try to invade/colonize others? And regarding the locals for some we were welcome as we were allies against other locals or trade partners. For others we were oppressors or the allies of people they themselves wanted to dominate. I will not apologise or feel embarrassed for what our ancestors did. They formed the world and for the much evil done then, there is some good left still today

Eu fui ao douro este ano durante uns dias e, sim, estava MUITO quente mas creio que não passou dos 45🤔
My fav city Porto ❤
It was one of kind, so amazing! Glad we could share this video with you
Can someone let me know of the song at 4:39 because it sounds like a dope cover of the Xmen theme
@ian.and.ana. Ana- do you have a link for any of your cute outfits/clothes?! Going to Portugal this summer and would love to have some cute outfits similar to yours!
so beautiful, you guys!
How was the weather that time of year? Going in the middle of April this year and want to know how to pack!
Where is this 17:13 sunset spot? Great guide and tips. Thanks.
Heading there next week, thanks for this! Also, where is the black dress from? I love it!
Can’t wait to go, November
Do you need to buy tickets for the clerigos tower? Should you buy them ahead of time to skip lines etc.? Are the lines bad without tickets like the library?
Did you bring a drone with here...if so what process did you need to fulfill
Very nice, thanks.❤️
Loved that you enjoyed. Only got a sad that you did not take the train up the Douro river to visit the vineyards! Most surely would make your trip even more memorable!
Miss my city so much!!!!
If you watch till the end of the video you will see we took a boat on the douro river and visited vineyards in Douro Valley!! Your city is amazing
Amazing ❤
portugal has been on my list for quite sometime. did a study abroad in athens and wanted to extend my trip to visit, but didn’t have enough time! it is so stunning and i can’t get back soon enough, definitely so high up on the to do list, love this!
Ahhh you will love it!! Hopefully our videos keep raising it higher and higher on your list ❤️❤️

Hi - would you have the link to the actual tour you did for "Food & Wine Tour with Locals" Thanks 😊
When you press on the link below this video, it’s the first tour that shows up highlighted in blue ❤️❤️ Have the best time ever
Wow, I never seen anything of Portugal, its beautiful!
So excited to keep showing you more and more ❤️❤️
Oh my gosh! I've only ever been to the Lisbon airport and sadly never got to see any of Portugal. It's now super high on my bucket list. In fact, I would probably just go for the Pastel de Nata. Those things look amazing. Obrigada!
Please how do we head up to the rock near the bridge? The last part of the video. We’re going to Porto this November 🤩
Beautiful city! I am leaving for there in three days. So excited. Was it very expensive to ship your van to Portugal? what service did you use?
I hope that map at 3:02 has a bit of humour. Portugal didnt rule the whole Asia. I enjoyed the vid. Porto is a beautiful city for sure ❤

Interesting places 🙂
3:18 chourição, not chouriço
They are different but tbh idk how😅
In fact we (Portuguese) also say "Apelido" for Surname, like Silva, Sousa, etc. Nickname in Portugal is more used as a short name, like Beta (Elizabete), Zé (José), etc. We also call "Borrachão/Borrachona", those who drink too much 😀

Ahhh thanks so much!! We are really loving Europe 😍 Of course and hopefully we make it there soon
Is it only me but I can't access the link to the Food & Wine tour... 😞
You need to go to "Conga" for the traditional Pork Sandwiches that we call "Bifanas".
They have the best ones 😉
Thank you so much for the recommendation!!
Nice video but I believe you are very wrong about the temperature you quoted for the summer months. Its about half of what you said.
I am always waiting many countries,in news and other,but I have no idea about Portugal, Thankyou
Links to the tours aren’t working :(. Could you pls share
Hi guys, can you share a link / the name of the campsite you were staying in?

What's with the spanish beats music? Fado, Portuguese Guitar, Ranchos are our musical identity. If you want portuguese soundtrack use Carlos Paredes.
Sadly we used spanish music because the 3 websites we use for Copyright-Free music had no Portuguese tunes. If we used copyright music, we wuldn't be able to make money off of the ads

She has confirmed, for instance, that the cloaks worn by Porto uni students did in fact inspire the Hogwarts dress code.
Maybe it appears that I doth protest too much, but I have a pretty invested reason why some of this misguided mythology irks me. Just one insight: My former boss has been cited multiple times as the definite inspiration for Professor Dumbledore. At first it was mentioned as a mere possibility; over time, though, and as these things go, that notion has ossified into established fact. I mean, just look at this picture of him posted in a "Here's What Inspired Rowling" article in a local paper! If you squint, does he not look like he could pass for an elderly, wizened professor? Well, yeah, I guess? But, maybe, you know, don't put your finger on the scale and actually select an image that's contemporaneous with Rowling's tenure in Porto, not one from a few years ago? Because, you know, on the day that she left this city--in quite a rush and quite unhappily, I should say--that guy was in his early forties.
Here's the thing. She's a writer. Even if Harry Potter is not your particular cup of tea, anyone should be able to concede that she has imagination, that she's capable of conjuring up people, places, and things without having to constantly rely on literal 1:1 cognates. And when it comes to fairly basic things--I mean, come on, Dumbledore the wise old mentor is a timeworn trope, and archetype--that's especially the case. Sorry, but it wasn't a cool art deco staircase in a Portuguese bookshop which begat the world Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

I´m portuguese and i dont know anyone who eats pastel de natas as breakfast... maybe once in a while people do, but saying "most of people do" is a huge exaggeration, specially in a time where people are becoming more aware of their own health and go for better food choices, which pastel de nata is not.
Ya, I’m surprised the tour guide said that’s a typical breakfast 😂🙊, def not. Maybe some ppl eat it for brekkie but it’s not the norm. Breakfast isn’t an important meal for 🇵🇹, maybe they have a coffee & bread w butter :)
Euro trip is def NOT the time cut out wine 😂🙊

It is insane that a local says that pastel de nata is the common Portuguese breakfast!! I am Portuguese and that is insanely wrong. We have bread, cereals, oats, coffee; cakes/pastry in the morning is really not the norm.
Then, the pastel the nata is part of a traditional 'convent' array of recipes. The real reason for the birth of these pastries is that, indeed, the monks had a lot of know-how and needed to make a living but they did this by being self sufficient and working the land and maintaining poultry, rabbitry, etc. for in-house consumption. The surplus of produce and time then allowed for inventions such as these... And other delicious 'doces de convento'...
Anyway, it sounds like a rant, but it isn't... it is just inaccuracies that are well intended, I am sure.
Really appreciate your point of view here!! Others will see this comment ❤️❤️
1:37 embaraçada does not exist in portuguese. You can say like maybe "envergonhada" (a woman/girl who is embarassed). The reason we find the spanish "embarazada" funny is bc it looks like the english "embarassed". Also "apelido" means "surname" and "nickname" actually means "alcunha".
Beijinhos de portugal😉👋
It's not playa.. it's praia 😊
"Owned half the world" that's a stretch. Spain and Portugal divided up the world but they any actually owned it. Grand plans that never came to fruition. Great video though!
locals never eat pasteis de nata for breakfast...
Poerugal did not "own" other countries. It inviade/colonized areas outside of Portugal and killed/ens;aved people outside of its own defined boundaries. Does not equate to "owning" other countries.
He was talking in his third or forth language - pretty sure he did not mean they owned so much of the world.
We licked it therefor they were ours.
But seriously which nations did not try to invade/colonize others?
And regarding the locals for some we were welcome as we were allies against other locals or trade partners. For others we were oppressors or the allies of people they themselves wanted to dominate.
I will not apologise or feel embarrassed for what our ancestors did. They formed the world and for the much evil done then, there is some good left still today
