SILVES PORTUGAL Medieval City & Castle -

How cool is that stork

[@FrugalTravellers]

Isn't he/she just so cool! There are loads of storks near the centre of Portimaõ... I really should video them! We were told that they're protected by law, so the old chimneys they nest on can't be torn down... which means there are loads of tall brick chimneys standing alone where factories once were 😁😊

Have been to Lagos, this looks just as lovely. Happy to watch these videos you and Mandy post!

[@FrugalTravellers]

Thank you so much for your lovely comment, Pamela! We're happy you enjoyed this video about Silves - it's a great place to visit! ~ Mandy 😀😁

[@eddouglas7553]

Hi guys I do enjoy your posts. I am leaving the UK next week to stay in Lagos till September. I know the town well but your videos have been great. Maybe a coffee in Lagos sometime if you are still around. Best Ed

[@FrugalTravellers]

Thank you so much Ed. Glad you enjoyed the videos. Things are warming up nicely here now. Maybe we can join you for that coffee if we are still around. Stay in touch! 👍😊

[@carolinacadabra8278]

What a lovely town! Going on the list for sure.

[@FrugalTravellers]

Yes, Silves is lovely! We had a great time there 😀😁 ~ Mandy

[@edek8470]

enjoyed the collab! those bitter oranges may have come in handy in a glass of 🍹 Thanks for sharing 🌴👍

[@FrugalTravellers]

We're pleased you enjoyed the video! It really was way more daunting than I'd expected, doing a collaboration... especially as it was so much fun walking around with Debbie and Stijn, so I had to keep making myself stop and video things!😀😁 That is a brilliant idea re: the bitter oranges - I like your thinking! 🍹🥂

[@viajarMOTO]

What a fun collaboration and tour guides with the Two Creative Travelers.

[@FrugalTravellers]

Thank you, viajarMOTO - we had such a great day with Debbie and Stijn... they were wonderful tour guides 😁😀 Thanks for your lovely comment.

[@MrRugbyprop1]

Beautiful town.

[@FrugalTravellers]

Yes, Silves is so lovely, and is in a beautiful location up in the hills. We had such a great day there, and I swear that was the best frango assado that we've eaten! 😃😋 ~ Mandy

[@sammiesmith6690]

I look to be in Portugal 🇵🇹 in January & will see these historic sites.

[@FrugalTravellers]

That's great to hear, Sammie! We hope you enjoy Silves, as it's such a lovely place. Thank you for taking the time to comment! ~ Mandy

[@ouritaliandestiny7955]

OMGosh! This was absolutely brilliant! You captured Silves perfectly! We just loved hanging out with you guys and showing you one of our favorite cities in the Algarve! So glad you enjoyed it and we are looking forward to the time we can do this again! Happy travels!

[@FrugalTravellers]

Yayyy... we had such a great time! Thank you so much for taking us to Silves! I'd love to stay there but Lee wouldn't want to leave the amazing beaches near us 😁😀 Here's looking forward to more adventures together, wherever or whenever it may be! 🥂😊😁

[@TakisTravel]

Nice excursion. 👍👍12👍👍 Best wishes from Greece.

[@FrugalTravellers]

Thank you, that's so kind! 😀😁

[@GlennHigley]

I love your videos. Thank you for all of your material on Portugal. I intend to move there from the US when I retire in a year or so and find it most informative. Please keep up the good work. It is most appreciated. Your channel deserves far more views.

[@FrugalTravellers]

Thank you, Glennhkc for your lovely comment! It's great to hear from viewers and to know that our videos are informative. Wow - how exciting that you're planning to move to Portugal! It is such a beautiful and laidback country, with delicious fresh food and the cheapest and best wine we've had! You will love it here! Our channel is growing day by day, which is wonderful to see. We'll keep recording our travels and sharing them with fellow frugal travellers, and who knows where we'll be in a year's time 😁😊 Thank you for watching and for your kind words! 😀👍

[@TheWorldnUs]

Well done on your first collab 👍

[@FrugalTravellers]

Thank you! It was a great day out but doing the collab was harder than I expected! Did you find that with your recent Qatar camping video collaboration?

[@TheWorldnUs]

A little, but we had a plan in place for what we were going to talk about which made it easier. Probably much harder when your exploring new place.

[@FrugalTravellers]

That was a good plan! We just rocked up and started walking around the beautiful streets of Silves...so I found it difficult to think of what to video as was too busy looking at all the sights 😀😁

[@podrozepochmurze]

Hello, our lovely friends! Thank you for this new video and for taking us away to Portugal :). Very nice video lets watch it together!

[@FrugalTravellers]

Hello - that's so lovely, thank you! We're so happy you came with us on our day trip to beautful Silves :))

[@Nadelina_kb]

So you met up 😃. This is so cool, I have seen a few videos on their channel about Portugal. It’s very sunny unlike Paris today. This castle was magnificent.

[@FrugalTravellers]

Hello, Nadelina! Silves was so lovely. Hopefully next time we'll be able to go into the castle, but it was still a wonderful day wandering around! Yes, we met up with Two Creative Travelers after meeting through KZbin comments, which shows how wonderful this medium can be, in more ways than one! We told Debbie and Stijn about your channel and I know they've really enjoyed watching your videos 😃 As always, thank you for watching and for your kind comments.

[@JenShea]

Great tour of Silves! Obrigada ~

[@FrugalTravellers]

Thank you so much, Jen! We had such a wonderful day in Silves with Debbie and Stijn... and seriously, that was the most delicious piri piri chicken ever!

[@carlosvictor8679]

in the algarve you find the best piri-piri chicken at guia village.

[@FrugalTravellers]

We haven't been to Guia village yet but thanks for the tip! 😀😋

[@ambikasomu9875]

I love this!

[@FrugalTravellers]

Thanks for your lovely comment, ambika! It's always great to hear such positive things, and we're so pleased you enjoyed the video!

[@ambikasomu9875]

@@FrugalTravellers sure thank u

[@odisseiaetc3909]

Nice to see this video from your channel as well. Thanks friends. We have just uploaded a new video as well. Hope to see you always.

[@FrugalTravellers]

Hello Odisseia Etc 😁 Thank you for your lovely comment! We look forward to seeing your latest video.

[@JasonJFlippingLife]

Is there much of a nightlife in Silves?

[@FrugalTravellers]

We were only there for a day trip, in February 2021. Many restaurants etc were closed then but have probably reopened now. Hopefully another viewer will be able to answer your question. ~ Mandy

[@vitoroliveira9939]

essas laranjas são laranjas de jardim...são piores que limões...(garanto as laranjas de Silves são a melhores que há), obrigado pela visita...voltem sempre

[@FrugalTravellers]

Sim, percebemos que o sabor era muito amargo. Gostámos muito de Silves mas não voltaremos a comer as suas laranjas! Muito obrigado. 👍😊 ~ Lee

[@marinacampbell-kingston6681]

This is where my grandma lives! And I live in Praia da luz 🥰

[@FrugalTravellers]

How wonderful, Mariella! This is such a beautiful part of the world! 😀😁🌞

[@paulduke605]

Well we went there with our family and it was the worse meal we have ever had and will not be returning as 4 of the meals was cold and one was made of rubber.

[@FrugalTravellers]

That's so unfortunate, Paul. Our takeaway piripiri chicken was excellent. ~ Mandy

[@samallealle7742]

The hooks in Muslim civilization were used to enlighten the city by hanging the old lamps such as oil lamps. Sadly the Christians tried their best to destroy any sign of Muslim civilization and the city should have guides to explain to visitors.

[@FrugalTravellers]

Thank you so much. That is very interesting to hear. We had no idea at all. Silves was certainly a very charming place to visit.
