Southwards from Viana do Castelo, visited Barcelos (beautiful), visited Tibães near Braga (unfortunately closed for lunch), then stopped at Mealhada for one of the local specialties: roast piglet with oranges. Delicious!

After lunch, visited Batalha which was one of the highlights of the trip. Then stayed overnight near the sea, in Colares. Afterwards visited the “Boca do Inferno” (Hellmouth) in Mafra and arrived in Lisboa again around noon… time for a last afternoon visit into the city, and now we’re resting and packing. Tomorrow very early it’s on to Hamburg (Germany). Stay tuned…
