Hey guys there is this route namd percurso das Aldeias Hitoricas, take a look 😊 Almeida | Belmonte | Castelo Mendo | Castelo Novo |Castelo Rodrigo| Idanha-a-Velha | Linhares da Beira | Marialva | Monsanto, | Piodao | Sortelha | Trancoso

[@patriciaobrien2775]

Sortelha and Linhares: best places in the planet imo

[@RamblingRamul]

you guys travel more than my dreams.

[@joenandamalie]

Haha, then you need to dream more!

[@claudiorodriguez7661]

You are my favorite bloggers by far (now you can sleep, now you know it). Intelligent, funny, informative and enjoying life. Greetings from Mexico.

[@joenandamalie]

Aww, thanks, Claudio

[@cleantheocean]

Marvão, Castelo de Vide and Penha Garcia. Almeida (prepare your drone). Castelo Rodrigo. While there and since you like eagles, cross Douro river to Freixo-de-Espada-à-Cinta and go to Penedo Durão, the top of a 500m cliff where eagles (real ones, not 'grifos' which are very common there) have their nests and if lucky you'll see one - don't tell anyone, it's a secret. From praia da Congida you can rent a bike and search them from bottom. I did a boat trip from there and it's unforgettable, regardless being crowded in summer.

[@nandaalmeida1716]

Aldeia Nova (Mafra), Almeida, Belmonte, Trancoso, Lamego, Viseu, Tomar (Terra dos Templários), Sortelha, Monsanto, Castelo Rodrigo, Idanha-a-Velha, Idanha-a-Nova, Marialva, Viana, Barcelos, Mértola, Silves, Aveiro e os Passadiços do Paiva, Casal de S. Simão, Aigra Nova, etc., etc. (Cidades e aldeias históricas de Portugal que nos deslumbram)

[@inesdossantos182]

And it must stay underrated! :) é isso que faz com que Portugal seja tão maravilhoso

[@disnox6902]

1- Idanha-a-Nova region for sure: Monsanto, Idanha-a-Velha and Penha Garcia. 2- Vila Viçosa/Elvas. 3- All the Minho region. 4- Chaves/Vidago. 5- Castelo de Vide/Marvão.

[@joaorustil]

Try to visit the Alter do Chão Stud Farm, near Alter do Chão (in northeastern Alentejo), which has existed continuously since 1748 to breed and preserve Lusitanian horses. There is a new hotel Vila Galé within the Stud Farm, where they can stay to enjoy the region.

[@ES-ge7bb]

Very good choices. Looking forward to 10 must visit towns in Portugal, part 2

[@sutash9043]

Qué lindo!!! Quiero ver todos esos pueblitos tan hermosos! Ya llegará mi tiempo. En unos años más.

[@JenShea]

Olá my Darlings. I’d like to suggest, as I know others have... showing the name of the town when you mention it. It’s difficult, sometimes to know what you are saying... between Portuguese names and Danish accents... please. For example, @ 4:49... I know you said Azores, but no idea what the name of the town was. It will especially help non Europeans. Obrigada. Great list.

[@cleantheocean]

I'm from Portugal and didn't catch the Azorean one either.

[@JenShea]

@@cleantheocean 🤗

[@patriciagasparvalentim2294]

I agree 👍

[@ruipedrodonas6192]

I think it’s Nordeste

[@quantummotion]

As Rui Pedro Donas mentioned - the town in the Azores mentioned in the video is called Nordeste (north east in transliterated in English). This town is located on the island of Sao Miguel in the Azores. The island itself is very easy to get around - roughly 64 km wide by 21 km. Ponta Delgada is the main city that has the airport that you would fly into, and Nordeste would be about 30 minutes from Ponta Delgada. Quite frankly, the whole island is amazing, give yourself a week there bare minimum to check the place out.

Guys you must visit Monsanto and Penha Garcia, this last in Summer because they have a natural Swimming Pool after a incredible Water Fall.,

[@pedromalbernaz]

Man, I love this couple!

[@causticflow]

My bucket list just got bigger, keep up the great videos

[@Impartial.Observer]

We always enjoy watching your travels so much!! I think it would be super helpful if you could either list the names of the places you visit and/or show them on the video itself. That way, they are easier to locate on maps. Thanks so much!

[@AlgarveAddicts]

Fantastic video guys, you really have worked hard to attain next level skills in videography. It's beautiful to watch!

[@ryandanger9333]

I knew Portugal was beautiful, but you 2 really showed its much more then you expect if you get off the tourist hot spots. Would love to move over next year.

[@NunoFranca]

So nice!!! 4:30, our island, São Miguel!! Nordeste, I still remember that frame when you presented the video (in front of the church), the first video I saw from you. Great work as always! So glad you have chosen that place in your video! No doubt, one of the best places here in the island, so beautiful! :)

[@jorgeamador9407]

I fully agree with your choices ...

[@antoniomiguelsimao]

Piodão is in Serra do Açor.

[@claesbaud6951]

Just shared info about you guys on the Swedish PT-groups with a link to this video. Hope you get some new followers. Keep up the great work 😎

[@dinocorreia1202]

You forgot Sintra!!!!! How dare you? :-) You guys, a big warm hug and a humble ThankU to show the beauty and the best of this country. A nice place to make holidays, to live in the last years of our lives, specially people with money. Unfortunelly a country with full of inequalities and poorness across all those villages and cities. Keep going in your journey and keep Safe

[@josedomingues3039]

Awesome choices lads! 😉 Nonetheless, I would recommend (for further trips): Alentejo - Castelo de Vide and Marvão (also visit the buried Roman city called Ammaia nearby); Minho - Moledo, Caminha and Vilar de Mouros; Trás-os-Montes/ Alto Douro - Torre de Moncorvo, Mogadouro and Miranda do Douro (And you could also visit Freixo de Espada À Cinta as well).

[@m000Theevilcow]

Speaking of Algarve you guys need to go after COVID to the Medieval festival of Silves and to Monchique Thermal town and ofc to Odeceixe. About Alentejo, you need to visit Mértola, Marvão (on the other side of Monsaraz) , Elvas, Alcoutim (Pulo de Lobo).

[@TugainVietnam]

Guys!! You know Portugal better tha than me, and I am Por TUGA. I will definitely visit your recommended places thank you for your great videos. 🇵🇹

[@13tete13]

Aveiro, Vila do Conde, Braga, Barcelos, Ponte de Lima, Ponte da Barca, Arcos de Valdevez, Vila Nova de Cerveira, Monção, Melgaço...

[@juliocalheiros5139]

You must go to ELVAS in Alentejo and stay there, minimum 3 days. Try the food. Very very close to Badajoz (Spain).

[@adrianofernandes7767]

Marvão, Ponte de Lima, Braga, Guarda, Sabugal, Viana do Castelo, Leiria, Lamego, Santarém.

[@taniafilipafernandes6662]

OMG! I can't believe that you guys went to Rio d'Onor. I'm from another small town from Bragança (less than 100 people, so boring) and I must admit that you guys chose a really good place from my concelho. If you decide to return to Bragança (the distrito) I would recommend either Mirandela (for the river, not the alheiras) or Miranda do Douro. Miranda do Douro (vila) is near the border and has a magnificent view of the Rio Douro, where you can try to spot the number "2" which is said to bring good luck for couples or that you will get married if you are single.

Bem, pelas alheiras também, diga-se de passagem !

[@olindasilva315]

I'm surprised that you included Amarante in this top! I wasn't counting on that, thank you! 😉

[@afaria6173]

This was one of my favorite episodes.

[@ptog]

The problem when you visit Portugal is that your are visiting a country with 1000 years of pure history well preserved, and few invasions could threaten it. So you can see it one food, architecture etc... etc...And with big natural threaten (like Spain) this country has always been able to keep some sort of cohesion (Aljubarrota battle for example) due Maybe in part to religion, stubbornness, huge faith and enormous will to survive. What you see is only the top of the iceberg that you can explore.

[@michaelhopkins4296]

and Portugal had a big Templar influnce with values like St. Francis along with the fighting skills of the Spartans. Good combination

[@SpectrumX9]

So many missing. Try: Marvão, Castelo de Vide, Ródão, Monsanto, Idanha-a-Velha, Penha Garcia, Segura, Castelo Mendo, Castelo Rodrigo, Marialva, Numão, Miranda do Douro, Chaves, Pitões de Júnia, Arcos de Valdevez, Soajo, Lindoso, Monção, Castro Laboreiro, Caminha, Valença, Viana do Castelo, Citânia de Briteiros, Tongóbriga, Cinfães, Resende, Castro D'Aire, Arouca, Serra da Freita, Serra de São Macário, Águeda, Conímbriga, Lousã, Ferreira do Zêzere, Tomar, Berlengas, Baleal, Alcácer do Sal, Beja, Noudar, Mértola, Alcoutim, Castro Marim, Aljezur, Serpa, Odeceixe, Vila do Bispo, Almodôvar, Castro Verde, Vidigueira, all in between these and those I didn't mention. This is only in the continental part of the country. I've even didn't mention my home town but I want my paradise intact.

[@jorgedourado8503]

Since you like to travel, I would recommend Almeida at the end of August, since at that time they have some recreations of the french invasion of the town. Another place I recommend is Chaves, which is a beautifull city with a lot to see and do.

[@jenifermessina6673]

I loved your video, I would love to see what is your top 10 cities or towns to live in!

[@hugopereira6106]

Ponte de Lima is beautiful and near braga. Lamego is very breautiful as well

[@LeHunkyDory]

Can you guys please do a video in Mafra, or more specifically, Sobreiro? Thinking you guys will enjoy it too and it'll be good viewing for everyone else! :D

[@M3rmaids2]

Hello, Thanks for sharing !! Beautiful I love Portugal . I live in Massachusetts USA. I will be visiting São Miguel , Nordeste!! Where my family is from and my husband . I really enjoy every visit!! Can’t wait until this summer..July… Incase you decide to visit . Hope to see you guys! 😘 podemos ter umas cervejas!!

[@jotapcardoso]

One in my top 10 that you need to visit: The romantic Constância, near Santarém. Camões wrote part of the most epic portuguese novel ("Os Lusíadas") there.

[@barbaragoisfa]

Viana do castelo is amazing! I AM not sure if it's a town or a city. It's more like a big town Peniche - an old town with some nice beaches but it's better at summer Barcelos/Viana do Castelo/Caminha - amazing towns in Minho area

[@filipepalhares3325]

Viana é uma cidade.

[@roaringmoon88]

Next stops: - Lamego - Viseu - Chaves - Guarda - Sortelha - Trancoso - Pitões das Júnias - Gerês - Passadiços do Paiva - Monsanto

[@douradomanuel3874]

Great work you two......

[@eduardoserrao7372]

Great choices. My favorite places's list wouldn't probably be very different. There are always new places, of course. Like Tomar, Castelo de Almourol, aldeias de xisto (in several areas, look for it in advance), Belmonte, Elvas, etc. Elvas is in the Alentejo, near Spain. If you want a feeling of deep Alentejo you can go South, Serpa, etc.,and then down to the Algarve, Castro Marim. (By the way, you could do EN2 - Estrada Nacional 2 - from Chaves in Trás-os-Montes (I think) down to the Algarve. It's gaining some mistique , there are "simbólic passports", etc,, - you need planing). But about Elvas and the "deep Alentejo", you could something different, like going to Olivença /Olivenza, in Spain (/Portugal). It is the facto in Spain, but is Portuguese in essence. And very beautiful. It is the only border dispute, or political sensitive issue still, a bit. I have noticed you focus a lot in gastronomy, architecture, land scape, etc., which is great, but you could also look for traditions (do you know Pauliteiros, Caretos...?). Do you know about Mirandês, a different language (close to the Pauliteiros). You sometimes include Portuguese music, which is great, I love Cante from Alentejo, Beira Baixa music (if you go there look for Idanha-a-Velha), look for the recordings of Michel Giacometti of traditional music (some videos on KZbin) , rare footages, etc. etc

[@linogalveias]

good one :) Around Piódão and Arganil there are many local things to visit... Serra do Açor, Mata da Margaraça and Fraga da Pena, Senhora do Montalto, Santuário de Nossa Senhora das Necessidades, tour along Rio Alva and go to Côja, Avô... there is Ponte das Três Entradas too, a bridge with 3 entrances... and the local food, nature.... :) near Pombeiro da Beira a hexagonal chapel of Rainha Santa Isabel too....
