[@travelmu]

you guys are lovely couple and such a great video of you travelling in this beautiful place

[@FrugalTravellers]

Oh, that is so lovely, thank you! We're pleased that you enjoyed this video 😃😁 ~ Mandy

[@PlanetImo]

That guarna's made Lee go a bit nutty! Ha ha!

[@FrugalTravellers]

Hahhha, it was a combination of the guarana and the delicious meal... almost guaranteed to make Lee go nutty 😁🤣 ~ Mandy

[@LuisSantos-us1ww]

Thank you for this video about one of the most amazing places in Portugal. I worked in Nazareth as a teacher 23 years ago and I had a chance to enjoy the village, the incredible scenery, the beaches and the monuments. Watching your video made me remember that time. Cheers.

[@FrugalTravellers]

Thank you for your lovely comment, Luis. We're so pleased this video brought back memories of your time working in this incredible place... does it seem to have changed much? We love Nazaré - it's one of our favourite places in Portugal, and that view from the Miradouro at Sitio is always breathtaking! 😃😁 ~ Mandy

[@sherryhead8224]

Mandy I made it and have said hello to both Tony and Shelly 😂 I love it here in Nazare. Thank you for all your helpful suggestions

[@FrugalTravellers]

Hello Sherry. I'm happy to hear that everything is going well... I'm wracking my brain to think of who Tony and Shelly are?!? ~ Mandy 😁😀

[@Nadelina_kb]

Hi guys ! Good video I enjoyed going to Nazaré with you again. I just saw the highest wave on the Portuguese news and I thought about you. Nice meals.

[@FrugalTravellers]

Hello Nadelina! It's always great to hear from you, and we miss your lovely videos. Amazing news about the new record, and crazy that it was for a wave surfed in October 2020! We're looking forward to going back to Nazaré in a few months time, and going back to that tasty restaurant!😃😁 ~ Mandy.

[@cindybruin4888]

Great video guys. ❤ so glad you shared more of Nazare, my fav place in Portugal. Thanks for the meal tips. Hey I love a good bench lunch, how was the colour of the sky behind Lee, and the million dollar view. Definitely going to seek out that Brazilian place for lunch when I'm there next. Brilliant, thanks 😊.

[@FrugalTravellers]

We're so pleased you enjoyed this video, Cindy, as we know how much you love Nazaré. We'll always remember you as the first person to mention this incredible place to us! The sky was so blue for our beach bench picnic... we love those piripiri sardines! Via Brasil has the best value menu do dia in town, and we're really looking forward to going back there! 😃😁 ~ Mandy

[@toniaferguson7495]

Thank you so much for this great video. My husband and I are moving to Nazaré in July. Have a lovely place 1/2 way up to sítio with a great view. Wish you were going to still be there when we arrive. In the meantime, I have taught my American coworkers to use the term "busting for the loo" because it makes me laugh! ❤️

[@FrugalTravellers]

It's lovely to hear from you, Tonia, thank you. Congratulations on your upcoming move to Nazaré in July. We're hoping to be back again in August to housesit, so we might bump into each other. I'm trying to remember when I said "busting for the loo" and think it was in the Cascais to Guincho video... so disappointed there weren't any public toilets open en route in January. Good on you for teaching your coworkers a new phrase! 😃😁👏 ~ Mandy

[@colcoco_co]

This is such perfect timing, I'm in Nazare right now! The carnival looks so fun, I'll have to visit again to experience it myself!

[@FrugalTravellers]

We hope you're having a wonderful time in Nazaré, Colleen! It is one of our favourite places, and it's definitely great timing for you! Carnaval was so much fun and we'd recommend it! 😁😃 ~ Mandy

[@TheJansenJournal]

Really want to go here and see the biggest waves! Keep on travelling!

[@FrugalTravellers]

It's an awesome sight, and Nazaré itself is such a magical place! It's definitely one of our favourite places in Portugal. Thank you so much for your lovely comment, and we're planning to be travelling for at least another 20 years 😃😁 ~ Mandy

[@juliedavid8863]

love your energy and your smiles..I was in Nazaré last month and felt in love. thanks for the information for my next trip there

[@FrugalTravellers]

Thank you so much for your lovely comment, and welcome to our channel! We've made loads of Nazaré videos as it's one of our favourite places in Portugal!!🇵🇹❤ In case you haven't seen it, here's our very first Nazaré video from last winter. We hope you enjoy it! ~ Mandy 😀😁kzbin.info/www/bejne/maiyhoyKm7-HjMk

I absolutely love those infaltable dinosaur costumes. I've been resisting the impluse to order myself one!!

[@FrugalTravellers]

Oh, I could so see you in one of those! They were brilliant, and stole the show 😃😁 ~ Mandy

[@drapen1836]

Loved the video, thanks guys

[@FrugalTravellers]

That's so lovely, thank you! We really appreciate you taking the time to write! 😃😁🙏 ~ Mandy

[@BasicBeachCommunity1]

I can see your love for the ocean...! I am from HB,CA.... surf city, and I love the ocean... Also loved the coast of Wales in my time there (Swansea)

[@FrugalTravellers]

There's something so wonderful and free about watching the waves rolling in... especially when they're the epic sets at Nazaré in winter! Neither of us have been to Swansea nor Cardiff... I'd like to explore more of Wales! Thank you for taking the time to comment, we really appreciate it! 😃😁 ~ Mandy

[@deenaparker8689]

I’m heading there in November. Looking forward to it!

[@FrugalTravellers]

That's a great time of the year to head to Nazaré, Deena! We hope you see some of those incredible giant waves! ~ Mandy

[@SandraMarksWebster]

Thanks for another informative and fun vlog. We need to revisit the Brazilian Churrasqueria and try your suggestions. Sofie & Deja send hugs!

[@FrugalTravellers]

We're so pleased you enjoyed the video, Sandy and Roy. We haven't found any deal as good as Via Brasil in Tomar, Évora and Faro... it's such a great asset to Nazaré! Big hugs back to your beautiful girls. I miss chatting with Sofie, and Lee misses Deja sleeping on him every night xx😃😁 ~ Mandy

[@GLITCHDADA]

Nearly tempted to get me ironing board a heading over 🌊 that Brazilian feed looked the business, rechecked your vid on Tallinn Estonia sold deed is done off October 😎👍

[@FrugalTravellers]

Hahhha... I could just imagine you on your ironing board, surfing Praia do Norte 🤣🤣 That Brazilian restaurant is excellent value... I'm just hoping they're not too busy for us to get a table the next time we're in Nazaré. Great news about your trip to Tallinn! We loved our 3 weeks there, and made quite a few videos. The centre of the Old Town is pretty but is very expensive. We hope you can find some great bargains, and look forward to hearing about your trip! 😃😁 ~ Mandy

[@jacquibrooks7059]

Another great video both. My husband and I have been trying out some of the restaurants you have recommended in previous videos so will now try the Brazilian in Nazare.😀

[@FrugalTravellers]

Thank you, Jacqui. It's always wonderful to hear such positive comments! We loved Via Brasil and will definitely return the next time we're in beautiful Nazaré 😃😁 ~ Mandy

[@opagodaswirling9383]

Always enjoy your informative videos .Truly inspirational . Have you ever taken the ferry south from Lisbon to Barreiro ? I got the impression that prices are lower down that way and on to Setubal but there is still lots to see and do . Good health .

[@FrugalTravellers]

Thank you so much for your lovely comment and kind words. We haven't taken that ferry but spent 3 weeks housesitting in Setúbal last year, and made 5 videos of our experiences there as we had such a great time! It would be interesting to hear what you think of our time in Setúbal. Thank you for taking the time to write, we really appreciate it 😃😁 ~ Mandy

[@clam371384]

❤❤❤ i came back from Portugal and Spain about a month ago and was there for two wks. I’ve seen reviews about lack of vegetables on the menu as well. The food prices were so affordable and I just love Portugal so much and your budget eat vids as always.

[@FrugalTravellers]

Thank you for your lovely comment, Carmen! We're so pleased to hear you love Portugal as much as we do...isn't it an amazing country! It's great to hear that you enjoy our videos, and we always love to hear from you! ~ Mandy

[@nooranderson835]

I would like to welcome you to Dubai UAE.

[@FrugalTravellers]

Thank you, that's very kind of you, Noor. We have always wanted to visit Dubai! 😃😁 ~ Mandy

[@julieeggleton9743]

Yes! The perfect vlog! Proving that being outside, especially at the coast can be invigorating, life affirming and of course free! Those views, sunsets and the excitement of nature's magnificence watching those waves... you must get so many natural highs. Also there is something special about local produce eaten outside. I love seeing what you have for your picnic lunches! The Brazilian restaurant, just stunning food at an unbelievable price! Libraries... not been to one abroad... great tip! Update: The Balkans did not let me down. £321 for 15 days so £21.40 per day. I made sensible choices most of the time but of course if I wanted a drink or a meal at a local restaurant I had it (picking a local dish). I loved the Tavce Gravce beans! I also bought a few small souvenirs and went kayaking! The people I met were incredible too. And we talked, alot, great conversation, not looking at phones. And a frugal development.. I am returning to volunteer at a hostel in North Macedonia in July. It's at Lake Ohrid and one of the best hostels I have stayed at and best of all there is a folk festival whilst I am there! Like your carnival... amazing! I just formed a good rapport with the owner then asked if they wanted help this summer. Looking forward to your next film. You inspire me so much! I hope you don't mind me sharing my updates. 🇲🇰😃

[@FrugalTravellers]

That's such a wonderful comment, Julie, thank you! We always love hearing from you, and reading about your own frugal travels... they're inspiring and hopefully will be helpful to other frugal travellers 😃😁 We're both huge fans of libraries and always gravitate towards them. In Perth alone we belonged to 5 different libraries! There were some amazing modern libraries in the Baltic states, and I remember going to a very old library in Nairobi in 2011, with the reference books dating back to the 1970s. Nowadays libraries are a great place to relax, and many even have cafes attached! Yes, there's nothing like sitting on a cliff, watching the sunset over the ocean... truly magnificent, and best of all, completely free! I'm pleased that you feel the same way. Congratulations on arranging to volunteer at the hostel on Lake Ohrid in July... that will be an amazing experience! 👏😃😁 ~ Mandy

I know a lot of people who would consider no veg with a meal a plus! 😆

[@FrugalTravellers]

Nooooo!!!! I need some sort of green or other veg on my plate otherwise it seems so lifeless! ~ Mandy

[@PlanetImo]

@@FrugalTravellers same here!

[@FrugalTravellers]

@@PlanetImo I really love my 3 weeks at the quinta sit, eating loads of fresh veg from the garden, and eggs, and no alcohol. I felt so full of energy and vitality... I want more of that! I'll be starting that video soon, but Lee had the GoPro and my S8 isn't quite up to that standard! 😃😁 ~ Mandy

[@cadillacsmith5339]

Any recommendations on where to stay?

[@FrugalTravellers]

The first time we went to Nazaré we stayed in a hostel, and housesat thereafter, so can't recommend anywhere. ~ Mandy

[@PlanetImo]

Does Lee do all the editing or do you both do it? I think I vaguely recall that you both do some?

[@FrugalTravellers]

We take turns making videos, and tend to steer towards our interests ie Lee makes most of the travel videos as is into his maps etc, and I like combining a few days worth of clips to make a video about a place. I think Lee has better technical skills, while I really enjoy sharing odd snippets and facts about places. The endings tend to show who's made a video, as Lee uses an end screen template, whereas I finish with photos of menus, buildings and street art 😃😁 ~ Mandy

[@PlanetImo]

@@FrugalTravellers ahh so you, Mandy, did this one. 😃

[@FrugalTravellers]

@@PlanetImo I meant to say this was my video in my first reply... I then realised that you would be one of the few people interested and engaged enough to actually notice! I made most of the Setúbal & Cascais videos, Lee made standalone videos like Caldas da Rainha and Our 21 Years of Travelling... but I made Óbidos so it really depends on who wants to do what! I love making museum videos, even though they rarely do well, but if it interests and helps 100 people, I'm happy. I really hope we get to meet one day, and make a few video together! 😃😁 ~ Mandy

[@PlanetImo]

@@FrugalTravellers my museum or cathedral or park videos tend to sink like stones but I LOVE them and the few people that do like them REALLY like them. Same with the folk music.

[@FrugalTravellers]

@@PlanetImo Exactly the same for us. I made videos on former prisons in Eastern and Central Europe & Iraqi Kurdistan, knowing that they wouldn't appeal to most people but I wanted to share the tragic stories from those places, and the people who did watch, were very pleased to have seen the videos. For me, I would like my videos to be informative, educational and interesting... viewing numbers are never the main goal ~ Mandy

[@thomascalipso9538]

Hi, I think I saw one of your videos in which you talk about a hotel in Nazaré which is €21 for one night, am I remember well? I am going to Nazaré in October and lookig for cheap places to stay for 4 days. Do you have any recommandations, please?

[@FrugalTravellers]

Hello Thomas. Thank you for your great question. We spent 4 nights in a hostel in Nazaré in November 2021, when there were still lockdowns, so prices were lower than usual. We always check Booking dot com and tend to book through that platform. Fingers crossed you'll find some budget accommodation but prepare yourself for higher prices now that tourism is back in full swing here! ~ Mandy

[@thomascalipso9538]

@@FrugalTravellers Thank you very much for your quick answer :) I've checked on Booking, it's very expensive. Do yo remember the name of the hostel you've stayed in?

Thanks for another wonderful video. Curious about your library tip. 📙 It never dawned on me that libraries in PT carry books in English. It kinda makes sense-now that I’m thinking about it. 🤔 Do you find books in English common in PT libraries? Cheers. 🎉

[@FrugalTravellers]

Thank you for your lovely comment, lucchese20. We absolutely love libraries, and always manage to find one... I just realised we hadn't shown any for quite a while! Most libraries we've visited around the world have a foreign language section, so in Oz/NZ/UK we'd have books in Portuguese and other languages...and it's the same in Portugal Always a great place to go and chill out for the day if you want a break from travelling or bad weather! 😃😁 ~ Mandy
