Piódão: Portugal's Most PICTURE PERFECT Village!

[@edensky3629]

Portugal is the coolest country in the world and the cost of living is very cheap for the whole of Europe, the people are genius and friendly and helpful,from jakarta indonesia

[@lurdessilva2658]

Oh thank you for that.its a pleasure to fnd people like you.love from Portugal

[@COLT-kl1pi]

The cost of living is good for tourists but very bad for the portuguese

[@PickOfDestiny2010]

It isn't cheap at all if you've to work in Portugal and pay your rent from your paycheck.

[@godakira]

I think the old man joke was: Estou numa cadeira, Multibanco não tenho. Banco also means stool besides bank

[@mishinha]

yeah 😂

[@anasofia1527]

“I’m on a chair... I dont have multibanco” (the joke being, I don’t have a Multi-Stool)

[@cochinada01]

Sim, exactamente.

[@joenandamalie]

Piódão is too perfect! And so is Serra da Estrela. We CAN'T WAIT to share our next video from there!

[@joenandamalie]

Thanks, Ivo! Makes us very happy to hear 🥰

[@danicornea]

All of you are doing a great job...Obrigado..Bucharest salutes you all starting with Amelia, little Lara, Jon and your local tour guide...

[@joenandamalie]

Thanks so much, Daniel!

[@ovisorrabib1066]

8:18 in here the old man said "I have only a chair and not a multibanco", multibanco can also mean multiple benche's or multiple chairs if translated

[@joenandamalie]

He was a funny old man!

[@lxportugal9343]

I admit, I never aspected that coming hehehe

[@RuiBarreiras]

@@joenandamalie Sr. Lourenço.. what a character!!! before your question, he said: you need water? 1,10€, over there is 2€ ehehe Last month, i´ve been there chating with him then i asked him how much time would take from there to Fraga da Pena (beautiful btw) and he instantly answered: 15 min by plane...lol

[@chakaula8642]

Another heartwarming trip! Continue being who you are! The music during the last part of this blog is EXCELLENT; as good as the vlog is, for me the music is the best you've included in any vlog Now, I have to figure out who did it! I can only dream of visiting at 74. Your blogs are the next best thing. Thanks and Aloha from Maui.

[@Alfablue227]

So beautiful, my country is truly underestimated. But wait until you go to Minho and visit Arcos de Valdevez and Sistelo, or Ponte de Lima, Ponte da Barca, or Caminha. Minho is gorgeous. Great vídeo guys.

[@Alfablue227]

@Borden KW yes, but if they go NOW, they will still find nice weather, but not for long.

[@jimmyabreu10]

The quality from one year to now in the filmmaking and editing is impressive and you visit so much Portugal you make look like the Portuguese don’t know Portugal

[@joenandamalie]

Thanks, Jimmy! We always try to improve our content in all ways possible. The quality of the footage has always been a high priority and with our new camera we can now film in 4K, which has been a significant improvement! Cheers

STAY CLASSY VLOG it looks great ,keep it up

[@louiscaeiroramos8051]

I believe the road/track you seen at 8.05, is the road we took the first time we visited Piodao. It was a dirt road, which got narrower and narrower. At a certain point I wanted to stop but there was no way I could turn around. It was too dangerous and I kept thinking, I hope no one is coming up. Then the road stopped near an old house. There was a car parked and there was enough space to turn. We left the car there and descended the last 100/200 meters by foot. It started to rain. Afterwards we went up again. By then the dirt road was wet and it was a bit scary but we managed. We slept in Inatel on the mountain top on the other side (8.25 top left), a 5 km round trip that costed more than 20 minutes. The next morning we visited Piodao again but from the other side. This was 10 years ago. The roads were under construction then. It was not an easy accessible place. I fell in love with a picture of Piodao by night. In the meanwhile there are a few more renovated towns like Piodao in the surroundings of the Serra do Açor. We call it Schist villages, a kind of Slate rock. Casas da Lapa: we were there before Piodao and crossed the bridge, the 4 of us. It was open then but it leads to a private property. There are about a dozen of those renovated houses and very nice small gardens.

[@garetteasdale7064]

wow, I have seen pictures of the road at the casa do povo in my old village, and it also makes me think about how it must have been before the car, when was just horses, and donkeys the road to Coja, took 40 minutes from my old village, Tojo after I grew accustomed to driving faster, like the portuguese do! the roads were made better for the windmills and edp, had it been only gravel, I think I would have never bought a house there.

[@vincenzo3292]

I can never finishing watching your videos ... I never want them to end

The beauty of it put tears in my eyes.

Amazing footage quality, keep up the good work! Very inspiring for future videos :)

[@joenandamalie]

Thanks so much! :)

[@csdragonfly]

Ahhh, Coimbra, my birth place and my alma mater! Beautiful and unique Coimbra! So many things to visit: Penedo da Saudade, Jardim Botânico, Jardim da Sereia, the Universidade and its beautiful Biblioteca Joanina, Choupal, Quinta das Lágrimas, Portugal dos Pequeninos, the narrow streets, some of which overlooking the peaceful Mondego, the antique bookshops, the little dark Fado taverns... I could go on and on... You've got to go back! The first time I went to Piodão, more than 20 years ago, I almost peed my pants driving my little Fiat Uno through those winding curves, forcing myself not to look down. 😀But once arrived, it was so worth it!

[@joenandamalie]

We definitely have to go in depth with Coimbra! And driving to Piodao is just amazing!

[@EMCpedro]

Men, this edition... soo good!!! And thank you for doing all this for my country!

[@edjtmonte]

Coimbra the city that saw me born! Without knowing a little bit of history, we will never understand the present. Lots of quality and class in your videos.

[@csdragonfly]

Me too! We are both conimbricenses! 🤗

[@Ari-ld9hi]

You guys should do wild camping. It would be great content. The two of you in nature, cooking, and giving each other a hard time. Great job you two!!!!

[@joenandamalie]

Not a bad idea! It would be interesting camping haha!

[@donnadecarne8133]

[@hentomedw]

One of your best...beautifully edited and music great. And the places visited sublime!

[@musicbyenokk]

I love story time with Joel. You should make a bed time vlog of all his stories for all the good boys and girls. :)

[@dave5633]

Haha Joen I think you're the kind of guy who lives in the present, not the past (unlike the Portuguese). That is why you always have a new favorite place. If you ask me, I think that's a great philosophy. Another excellent video. And thank you Joel for the great story times :)

[@joenandamalie]

[@JenShea]

You might need to adopt Joel! We are getting very used to seeing him in your videos. I wonder if they are getting more people specifically asking to be guided by him?! 😉 You’ve pointed out one of the main reasons I’m in love with Portugal. You don’t have to drive far to experience immensely different vistas in the landscape. I am very curious about the buildings in Piódão. You didn’t mention the stone and what looks like slate, rooftops. What where the outer walls made of and were they slate rooftops?

[@lxportugal9343]

It's the rock material they had in the region. I don't know the name in english. It's call "xisto"

[@aliochafonseca5973]

Coimbra dos amores❤❤ ainda tem mais encanto na hora da despedida. Amalie &Joen, thanks for this faboulus video. Big Hugs e até lego Maaaboyz 👋.

Trabajo perfecto, Suuuper profesionales. Mi Like y suscripción a tu canal, me encanta Portugal, afortunadamente lo conozco de Norte a Sur y de Este a Oeste. Piodão es precioso, junto al entorno de la Serra da Estrela. En Serra São Mamede, tienes pueblos también muuuy bonitos, Marvão, Castelo de Vide, Alegrete, Portalegre... Un saludo amigo, que tengas una buena tarde 🤙🤙🤙

You"ll have a mini, mini studio. Ok..you don't have to thank me...😉

Cuz "multibanco" in portugal can also be understood as a bench with multifunctions, specially for old people that is not used to "technologies" like pay with a card in a small market or person in the middle of real rural areas of portugal 👌 Piódão is one of the "classy" villages of portugal 🙏
