My mother is from the Algarve and she told me that the Medronho fruit was the fruit that women of the past used to give their husbands to calm down on the days when they were more aggressive. It is a powerful fruit that gives the famous Medronho drink 50% alcohol. You should also try Medronho jam, it’s very good.

Monchique is definitely one chic village. Maybe one day they will restore this monastery, I love ruins though too. Thanks for this gem and boas festas.

[@SuperNegawsklov]

Very interesting, im português, living in Tavira, gonna do this next week !!!

[@iomtilt]

Awesome video thanks, loving your Portugal adventure 🇵🇹🇬🇧👍

[@carlosrebelo6007]

Those are not chestnut trees, they are cork trees. As you can see, the bark of those trees is peeled off. It's from that bark that cork is made of. Portugal is the world's biggest cork producer.

[@marcinkowalczyk8717]

To be more precize: these are oak trees (Quercus suber)

[@franciscorebollomedina8912]

Spain is the biggest producer buddy

Love the hiking video #jumpingplaces #portugal #algarve

[@elpidiobautista5851]

Thanks for showing more of the Portugal Sceneries and Old Ruined Historical Edefices . Great to see and tour Portugal through you . Thanks !

[@threecampbells]

The Algarve's have been very enjoyable plus it reminds me so much of where I grew up. It was the same type of streams but the trees are oak's and pepper trees with some olives that seem to grow naturally on the olives and peppers. It was just such a lovely hike and so enjoyable to watch. I loved the old tile work in the monastery and the ole mill on the hill was very neat. I loved the drone footage as it captured such a unique feel to the area, like being in Italy or Greece to a cense. Thank you Chris and Carol for such a lovely adventure through the highlands of Algarve's. Peace and health my friends, have fun

[@Lat41]

MONCHIQUE is so lovely. Really a place one would be lucky to live.

[@MrTdacosta]

If you get a chance, try the chestnuts - they are not like “nuts”. With a knife, make a cross ( X ) in the center to cut through the skin, then put them under the broiler for 15-20 minutes. Let cool, then peel and sprinkle with a bit of salt. When you peel the skin, the entire inside is solid edible chestnut - as castanhas são muito saborosas! The mechanism in the mill is powered by the water. The water turned a wooden wheel which was attached to the stone disk which was leaning up against the wall when Carol walked by to look in the ground level of the building. When it was operating there were two stone disks - one on the bottom which didn’t spin, and the second (on top of the bottom disk) which was attached to the wooden shaft which ran from the first floor of the building to the ground floor. The second stone disk (which was attached to the shaft) turned. Wheat, rye, or corn was then put in between the stone disks and was then ground by the grinding action of the two stones against each other.

[@grandadan]

Hi there: Those are not chestnuts: Those are Bolotas, não são castanhas! Acorn it is!

[@rodelynpitcher7867]

Wow! Thanks for this video. What a beautiful place!! Merry Christmas to both of you. 🌲

[@stevetash5032]

Merry Christmas ! Thank you for entertaining us....Steve and Nancy in San Diego, California

Do you guys bicker about anything? It’s so refreshing to see such a calm and chill couple. Most couples I’ve seen just fight constantly.

[@mariaangelinabatallones292]

Travel to Portugal is definitely in my bucket list.

[@praxedesmonzon7953]

each video is better and beautiful!!!

[@MrDeanonline]

I live in Monchique and I often do the walk up there that goes along the wind mills. You should see them when its all cloudy and stormy. Its unreal!

[@JustineKenneth]

We miss you in the Philippines!!!! Its better you stay here, you have more fresh air than the city!

[@PaulPaullus]

Feliz Natal Saltando Lugares! ...obrigado....obrigado....

[@duggio666]

So pretty, quiet, and peaceful. Nice vlog. That cloud at the end when you were waiting to see the sunset was pretty cool. It almost looked like smoke from a fire.

[@JumpingPlaces]

Yeah had a bit of a brown tint to it 🔥 good job it wasn’t!

[@mandybasford]

Yet another brilliant video CC. It’s funny how a lot of people call Wind Turbines - Wind Mills 🤣🤣 We had a Wind Turbine at our house in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 and my hubby always says to people, Wind Mills make bread 🥖🤪 Looking forward to your next video, come to Loulé 🇵🇹

beautiful place, we love Portugal, our regards from Italy. merry Christmas

[@brianb1815]

I housesat in Monchique for 3 weeks in August 2018. and missed out on an opportunity to go back for two months over the following winter. Such a beautiful place. If you just filmed this the weather looks fantastic! Enjoyed discovering your channel and glad you're living your dream. I like your style: great production value and content, and an interesting laid back couple who love to explore, without being over the top in personality. Kudos!

[@JumpingPlaces]

Nice that you spent a while there 😁 this was filmed at the start of December, fantastic weather!

[@brianb1815]

@@JumpingPlaces Very cool! I also noted your trip atop Foia. I had some wind there too but it was very warm by comparison. I may have missed it if you did this, but there's a roadside pullout not far from the top with a fountain of excellent Artesian water.

[@SolidLan]

I love all your travel videos 😊. Glad I stumbled upon this gem of a channel.

[@NomadShifu]

Tourist attractions in the region include its beaches, Mediterranean climate, safety, cuisine, and relatively low prices. Well-known beaches in the Algarve include Marinha Beach, Praia da Rocha and Armação de Pêra. A well-known spa town is Caldas de Monchique.

[@odisseiaetc3909]

Great! I love Algarve! Welcome to our channel.

[@ATrainTravels]

Thumbs up guys 👍

[@NickyDunn]

Cool tunes, good vibes, amazing drone shots. Very overgrown, you must be the first people, to have walked that way in a while, definitely amazing views, thank you for sharing your adventures. Do you miss the temperature of the Philippines,

[@JumpingPlaces]

To swim and sunbathe for sure but it was actually too hot a lot of the time over there, here is a more comfortable temperature overall

[@NickyDunn]

@@JumpingPlaces I Just opened my Christmas gifts from my Son, and he got me what I asked for as always, and that was one of your lovely t-shirts, I will be wearing it tomorrow

[@Manwalkerinpark]

The monasteries were closed in the first half of the 1800s in Portugal, by royal decree. Most of the pastry treats in the country come from these monasteries, after the recipes were let out as a result. Think of the Pastel de nata in Belem. The cloisters are right around the corner in Belem and that is where the recipe came from. If a town has an old monastery, it is has unique pastry to that town now. For instance the Nevadas of Penacova. explorandar.com/2018/10/20/doces-delicias-a-provar-em-portugal-nevadas/

[@ilargiarecording]

About the monastery of Monchique, once, because of something in my work I had a meeting with a person from the city hall and asked about if there was some plan of rebuilding it, and the answer I got, is that after the monastery was shut down in the XIX century, it's land and ownership was divided through some people from the village, and although there are plans to do something with it, it has shown to be an impossible task to find all the heirs of the heirs of the heirs, so their parts can be bought by the state. It is so sketchy that it was even mentioned that some people have ownership of a piece of the kitchen, some people of some square meters of a corridor, some people of a piece of the garden, etc...

[@grandadan]

Yes: As they were bored always doing useless things such as pray, then started to use the spare time on making new things, only for themselves and in secret!

[@drew3018]

Great video 👍. We enjoy watching and will visit one day like you guys did. One thing I'd like you to mention is the month that you are filming your videos and the temperature as well. Just to give those of us watching an idea if we want to plan 😀

You need to visit Silves in the Algarve

[@anamiguel1429]

Algarve and other places are "like other country". 😉 | The maiory of the coutrie, is very this vídeo. 🌳 *+* 🌄 *+* 🏞️ | And the 'nuts' not are 🌰. Are acorns. 🐿️

[@jims6056]

Wow!!!

[@joaotome7916]

there not chestnuts :)))) They are: Bomen-trees; Quercus suber - Cork oak Quercus suber or cork oak is originally in South Europe and North Africa where the tree is used because of its cork. This cork is used for wine bottle corks, shoe soles, floors etc. This peeling of the trunk is done every 10 years. After this, a dark red chestnut colored trunk remains, it can even turn black over time. This process is repeated every 10 years. The rough pale brown / gray rough cork layer around the trunk is a beautiful sight. The leaves of the tree remain smaller than those of the ordinary oak and are oval in shape. Top of the leaf is black / green in color, the underside is slightly hairy. The leaf is about 3 by 2 cm. Actually the cork oak is much nicer than an olive tree and also very hardy. The cork oak is evergreen in a moderate winter. We have some cork oaks in the example garden from 2005 and these have had no problems in recent winters. However, the leaf turns brown after a severe winter and ends in March. Hereafter, fresh new leaves appear in April. The care of the cork oak is very easy and requires almost no maintenance, pruning if it becomes too large is sufficient. In May, the cork oak will bloom and in October the cork oak will be fruit after a good summer. Seems much like fruits of the ordinary oak only much smaller. Winter hardiness zone 5b (-22ºC).

Please go to Azores, Algarve is boring

[@sairajmechy]

Don't know what it is.... But Portugal is so uninteresting..... Your viewer count had also fallen..... Come back to Asia guys.... Or Greece or Turkey in EU

[@antriksX]

Because these countries are perfect. No pollution. Same type of houses. Everything is perfect. Everything is clean. Compared to asian countries these countries are totally opposite.

[@jfjbiscaia]

Portugal uninteresting? What world do you live ... Portugal is currently one of the biggest tourism destinations in Europe. Wake up to life...

[@miguelcoelho3877]

Over 25 million tourists visited Portugal in 2019. Had it not been for the Pandemic, there's quite a strong possibility that the 2020 figures would have been similar. Portugal is not just the Algarve. Very far from it, in fact!

[@Lat41]

Man to each their own. I want to leave the USA for Portugal and never return. Porto, The Algarve, Madeira, Lisbon, Azores, etc etc etc. I LOVE PORTUGAL

[@jsilvamaintenance]

Ha Ha come to Asia what a joke ! Turkey? Lol is a muslin country. Be safe .
