Quick stop in FARO Portugal

Image
Quick stop in FARO Portugal On my way back from Sweden to Spain, I made a connection flight thru FARO, Portugal. Because there was enough time between flights and the airport is only 7KM from the city, I went for a 4 hour visit of the old town of FARO. It looks like Algarve is the poorest region of Portugal. Faro does have a historical section, and it is interesting if you are already in the region. But it is too small and has too few old historical streets and buildings to justify a trip down there just for that. For the most part it is a collection of ugly out-of-place apartment buildings for British people looking for a vacation place consisiting only of sun and beaches that is cheap and not much more. So, I would say, it was semi-dissapointing

Quick impressions: Tomar + Evora ( Portugal )

Quick impressions: Tomar + Evora ( Portugal ) I've lost count. It must have been my third or fourth trip to Portugal . So the trip had to cover the areas I had missed so far including Madeira, but also Tomar and Evora. Below image is of Tomar Tomar was a 2 hour train ride from Lisbon and then 2 hours back. It was raining like hell. Despite that I liked it quite a lot. The monastery, which in the photo you can see me standing on it's roof, was simply amazing and beautiful. Usually I get a bit bored with churches and stuff but this monastery was enormous. The town itself was sort of cute with a river passing thru it. Unfortunately the train schedule meant I had to rush back to the train station and I missed seeing the aqcuaduct that is 7 KM outside the town. Below image is of Evora at night To go to Evora after Tomar, meant I had to be stuck for some hours in the Oriente station in Lisbon and the surrounding area which includes a huge Mall. The Oriente stat...

Madeira Island : My visit - [ESP] Un viaje ideal y cercano: La Isla de MADEIRA

Image
Dario is In Madeira Island - [ESP] Un viaje ideal y cercano Un viaje recomendable para los Españoles es La Isla de Madeira que pertenecen a Portugal y estan al norte de las islas Canarias . Es un viaje que sale relativamente barrato si lo montas solo usando la aurolinea de bajo coste: EASYJET .   Hay que volar primero desde España a Lisboa y de alli coger un vuelo que usualmente sale por menos de 100 Euros a Funchal / Madeira . Tienes de todo: Mar, Historia, arquitectura, naturaleza y montaña . Los edificios historicos estan para mi gusto mejor guardados que en Canarias y no hay de esos apartamentos feos que estropean la vista. Hay funiculares que suben las montañas y todo es bastanta verde con mucha vegetacion. Y temperatura templada incluso en Noviembre que es cuando yo fui. Aqui os dejo unas fotos que tomé en Funchal : Finally arrived to Funchal. Very beautiful with lots of historical buildings and the place is very calm. Few people on the street, except for f...

Iran VS Portugal Worldcup 2006

Commentary on the Iran VS Portugal game of the world cup 2006 in Germany MONgholaa! Iranian soccer team is just not improving. It´s drying up and fading away! I went to Frankfurt to see Iran play versus Portugal. Iran lost 2-0, but could have been 3-0. In the stadium, because you dont hear the tv presenter, it felt like 3-0. There seamed to be a goal at the very, which I guess didnt count. Imagine all the sacrifices involved in getting there from Spain. In Frankfurt there were slightly more Portuguese fans than iranian fans. I was carrying this huge "shir va khorshid" iranian flag. Many iranians have seamed to accept the "allah o akbar" flag as the iranian flag, which is dissapointing. Im sure they were carrying the "allah o akbar" flag, just because its easier to find than the "shir va khorshid" flag, but they should do an effort and use the lion and sun flag. It was a cute experience being at the stadium. It looks much smaller than what it l...
