Portugal: travelogues(s), jigsaw puzzles, photographs and information

Portugal, once a powerful world empire, is now a small country in southwestern Europe, enclosed by Spain and the Atlantic Ocean. We went there to visit a friend but have traveled all over the country to explore the various areas and we enjoyed it very much. We entered the Algarve from Spain and then and drove via Lisbon to the mountainous north. Lisbon is worth a city trip.
We like warmth but in the summer it can sometimes be very hot with periods when it is above 40 degrees in the shade! Of course they have that beach for that! And we enjoyed going there.
Here are our travelogue(s), photographs, online jigsaw puzzles of travel pictures and information about Portugal.
