Portugal (July 2011)
August 24, 2011
|
I have been to Portugal multiple times as youngster, and for business. However, my wife and kids never saw Portugal, so I decided to show them the country. The tour started in the North-West of Spain in Santiago de Compostella. Then we headed south towards Lisbon. Afterwards we visitid the inner countryside and returned via Salamanca. |
