SETÚBAL PORTUGAL First Impressions - Walking Around Centre & Old Town - Delicious Menu do Dia

[@FrugalTravellers]

We absolutely loved Setúbal and made 5 videos in total during our stay in this great city. Check out our experience at the stunning market: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZvMpmV3YqmZrMU

[@sofiav540]

As a "Setubalense" (born in Setúbal and lived here my whole life) I welcome you and I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay! I like to call it a "big village" because although it is a city (and a "main" one), people here are really sweet and homy :)

[@FrugalTravellers]

Hello Sofia! Thank you for taking the time to comment. We totally agree with Setúbal being like a big village... it's such a wonderful place but so low key with it! I'd return tomorrow, especially as I'm working through hours of footage to make at least 4-5 more videos, and it just makes me want to be back there! We love Setúbal! ~ Mandy

[@anasantanadasilva]

@@FrugalTravellers HI. I really enjoy your video about Setúbal and also the Buses rides. Please let me know when you back to Setubal, as I'm local resident here. Hope to see you! Cheers

[@FrugalTravellers]

Hi Sofia, Appreciate the welcome and sharing the space with the world. Me and my wife recently returned from Portugal. We passed through Setubal while riding the bus going south. I can see why you are proud of the "big villiage". Beautiful place with incredible views. We plan to return and retire in Portugal, and Setubal is high on our list, we also love Setubal! Cheers!

[@ricardopontes7177]

It's a great option for someone who wants to be near Lisbon and yet lives on a budget, the city is charming and has everything: cafes, sushi restaurants, markets, promenades, big malls, cinema, theater, top notch gym facilities and so forth.

We totally agree, Ricardo! Setúbal is a great city in an excellent location... we had such a brilliant 2 weeks housesitting there! Thank you for taking the time to comment! 🙏😀 ~ Mandy

My husband and I just returned home from visiting Portugal and the Azores for seven weeks. We absolutely loved Setúbal! The market there is really special too! I could definitely live there!

[@FrugalTravellers]

Hello Debbie. That sounds like a wonderful trip! We haven't been to the Azores yet but would love to go. I agree, the market is very special, and I could definitely live in Setúbal! ~ Mandy

[@debbieb9815]

@@FrugalTravellers You must make it to the Azores one day. They are so beautiful! I have been there on four trips for a total of 9 weeks. I suggest going in June or July because the hydrangeas that are all over the islands are in bloom then and it is incredibly beautiful along with all the lush green landscape. You will need to rent a car to get around and make the most of your trip. Plan early and you can get really good prices. The cost of living is low there too.

I've been to Setubal only once and I think I missed half of it...Will go back in a week or so! I also want to go to Tróia! As for the Bachalau à brás...I finally tried it at our local resto in Lisbon and it was delicious!! Not really my thing, fish with rice or potatoes, but made right and fresh just delicious!! Thanks for making me want to revisit Setubal...And once again great pronunciation Lee!!!!

Hello Tamara! Lovely to hear from you. There'll be another 4 or 5 Setúbal videos so keep an eye out for potentially new places for you to visit. Making these videos really makes me want to go back!

Thank you so much for your lovely comment, Eileen! It would have been lovely in Setúbal in June - we were there in August & the 34C days were a bit warm for us... thankfully there weren't many of those! We agree, it's such an underrated city, which is why I'm planning to make loads of videos to share our amazing 2 weeks there! Our trip to the Fortelaza will be coming soon, and the next video is our trip to the beach and one of the best meal deals we've found in Portugal!

My home town (I was born and lived there untiil my late 20's), it's a beautiful city! I'm so glad you enjoyed it as well, so many beautiful places to see, the food, the culture, everything, one of the best places to visit in Portugal, specially on summer holidays. 💛

[@christinewitton3260]

Hi Mandy and Lee. I generally watch your videos on the big screen and rewatch them on the computer so I can make notes and comments! Love your videos. As I said previously I had written Setubal off but now it is firmly on my list. Love the flower boxes. Are they real plants or fake? We would love housesit pets as we are animals lovers. Now that we no longer have pets of our own, we provide "day care" and "holidays" for the next door neighbour's cat who prefers to stay with us! Thanks for providing the correct pronunciation for Setubal. I know Lee has hollow legs, but one of those dishes would do both of us!

[@FrugalTravellers]

Hi Christine. Thanks for watching and we're so glad you can enjoy them on the big screen. Since we started using the GoPro the quality of the video for big screen is much better. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Setúbal which shows on the videos I think. It was a lovely surprise for us. We're so fortunate we got a house sit there as we probably wouldn't have chosen to go there otherwise. It's a pleasure to share these places and encourage others to visit the places we find and enjoy. Thanks for your support. We really appreciate it. 🙏😊 ~ L&M

[@FrugalTravellers]

And, yes, the plants were real! Such a gorgeous array of colours. I'm so pleased someone told us the correct pronunciation for S'tubal... I love how they drop the "e". Lee certainly has a healthy appetite, which is another reason we loved the excellent value menu do dia options in this amazing city! 😃😁 ~ Mandy

[@markhendy4845]

Before you mentioned it I was admiring the tiled/cobbled floor in the square in the opening scene and then seeing it flow through the smaller streets. It really does add to the sense of history and beauty. And that second square with the grey building which looked spectacular contrasting with the lighter coloured buildings. Awesome!

[@FrugalTravellers]

Hello Mark. Thank you so much for taking the time to share this excellent observation about the calçadas and the buildings in the Old Town. We love the calçada pavements, which are found throughout the country. They have been among the many lovely and hitherto unknown features of Portugal for us, as well as the excellent & inexpensive wine; the delicious dishes, and the fact that so many Portuguese speak fluent English. The landscape and weather differ greatly from the north, central and south, but something all regions have in common is the lovely laidback atmosphere. This is an amazing country and I still can't believe it took us so long to visit. We can highly recommend it if you haven't been already. ~ Mandy

[@mariajoseguerreiro9119]

[@jetfowl]

I was in Setubal the week after Christmas. It's a beautiful place, but it was so warm (I didn't pack shorts and sandals). Braga, Porto, and points north are more comfortable to me. 😄

[@FrugalTravellers]

We were houseitting in Alcobaça from mid December until the 5th January, and it definitely wasn't warm every day! I love Porto but the weather is a bit similar to NZ and the UK, ie it rains a lot! I'm not as big a beach fan as Lee, but I do love bright sunny days with amazing blue skies. On that respect parts of Portugal are so similar to Perth, Australia! I hope you still had a great time in Setúbal... I would go back there in a flash! ~ Mandy

I’m currently on a house sit with 2 dogs - just in the UK though. I’m planning on doing some overseas next year

That's excellent, Andrew. Isn't housesitting such a great way to have quality pet time and get to know new places! We're so happy that we've re-started housesitting as it brings us so much joy 😃😁 ~ Mandy

@Frugal Travellers Yes it is. I’m in Northamptonshire - I was here at the end of July and they’ve asked me back. Looking forward to doing some new walks - unfortunately it isn’t as warm and sunny as Portugal

@@FrugalMrB It's actually quite cloudy at the moment. I've just put up an Instagram and Facebook post about yesterday's 11km walk to Peniche and there were grey skies all day! We love going on long walks, which is why it's always great to look after dogs... as you said, you can go on loads of new walks! Have a wonderful time in Northamptonshire. Sending best wishes from Portugal! ~ Mandy

Thanks for visiting and loving on our little city! Setúbal is a gem :) I just filmed a video for my friend Andrew's channel on my 3rd year in Portugal, if curious: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3zIYnqJarmjg9E

Hi Shanna! Yes, we love Setúbal... such a great city. Thanks for your lovely comment and for sharing your link. Three years in Portugal is pretty cool indeed! ~ Mandy

Don't say "shtubal", it's pronounced like "stew-bal". ; )

[@FrugalTravellers]

Thanks for that. If you notice, I say "stew-bal" and in the next 4 or 5 videos, Lee will say it as well 😃😁 We appreciate the feedback and correction, thank you! ~ Mandy
