Lobo d’Almada, d. 1960 / Coleção Marcel Gautherot

“25/08/1979 – Belém/PA – Onde fiquei mais dias. Calculei mal e não pedi pro meu pai mandar minha grana. Era sexta e teria de esperar o banco abrir na segunda. Deixei quase tudo que tinha numa pensão, como garantia,  e só sobrou pra vitamina de banana que foi almoço e jantar no final de semana. Ver o Peso, Pça da República, Cais do Porto, Pça Amazonas, Pça do Pescador. Chegando a grana fui no melhor restaurante e comi, pela primeira vez, um frango à francesa pois achei chique o nome. Viria a comer muitas vezes depois na vida. Delicioso. Também fui no Teatro da Paz. Peguei navio Lobo D’Almada. Terceira categoria. Era obrigado entrar com rede. Comprei uma. Chegando no “porão” do barco cada um amarrava a sua, sem ordem, uma bagunça. Dormi com medo de cair, era a primeira vez. Mas não caí. O banheiro não tinha assento. O buraco dava direto pro rio. E todo mundo cagando no Amazonas. Fiz amizade com um manauense e dois cariocas. Passamos os 5 dias subindo para primeira categoria (eram beliches e tinha uma bela visão lá de cima) e sendo mandados de volta pelo pessoal do barco. O café da manhã era uma fila onde fazíamos conchinha com a mão e o cara jogava bolacha, aproximava da boca e ia comendo até sobrar uma mão para pegar a xícara do café (...)”

Lisbon, and Porto, Portugal

28 September - 2 October.

Took the bus up to Lisbon, for some more exploring. Booked an Airbnb in Costa da Caparica.

Spent the first day at the beach, relaxing, and enjoying some food by the beach.

Next day, caught the ferry into the city to explore, and did a pastel de nata cooking class - really fun!

Went out to Sintra for a day, so many tourists! Walked a lot, snuck up on a castle. Had fun exploring Quinta da Regaleira - playground for adults.

Then saw Belem tower, and wandered along the shoreline. Went to a Fado performance with some education around the musical history, really cool.

Popped into the tile museum on the way out of town. Off to Porto for a night, then flight out to Canada! Loaded up on straight sugar in Porto just for the giggles.

Portugal, with its rich history, stunning architecture, and breathtaking landscapes, is a treasure trove of must-visit sites. From ancient castles to magnificent palaces and picturesque coastal towns, Portugal's landmarks offer a glimpse into its vibrant culture and storied past. Among the top landmarks are the Belem Tower and Jeronimos Monastery in Lisbon, both of which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites that reflect Portugal's Age of Discoveries. The Pena Palace in Sintra, with its whimsical architecture and lush gardens, transports visitors to a fairytale world. For those interested in medieval history, the Castle of the Moors, also in Sintra, offers stunning views and a journey back in time. In Porto, the Ribeira district and the iconic Dom Luis I Bridge showcase the city's unique charm and vibrant riverside atmosphere. The historic university town of Coimbra, with its ancient university and beautiful library, is another must-see. Whether you’re exploring the narrow streets of Alfama or enjoying the scenic views from Cape Roca, Portugal's famous landmarks promise an unforgettable experience. So, pack your bags and get ready to discover the most famous landmarks in Portugal, each offering its own unique story and beauty.

 Here are some of the most famous landmarks in Portugal to visit:

1. Lisbon's Belém Tower: Portugal's Age of Discovery is embodied in the renowned Belém Tower, also known as Torre de Belém. Constructed during the initial years of the 16th century, it functioned as a stronghold to safeguard Lisbon and as a symbolic entrance to the city. Its unique Manueline architecture, which is embellished with fine carvings and nautical themes, pays homage to Portugal's naval history. Its interior is open for exploration, and ascending the winding staircase will reward visitors with expansive views of the Tagus River and the surroundings. When learning about Lisbon's rich past and culture, visitors must see the Belém Tower, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

2. Sintra's Pena Palace: Pena Palace is a castle from a fairy tale that appears to be right out of a novel, nestled in the lush forests of the Sintra Mountains. It was constructed in the 19th century and is a fanciful and vibrant masterpiece that blends aspects of Manueline, Gothic, Moorish, and Romantic architecture. It is one of Portugal's most Instagram-worthy sites because of its vivid yellow and red walls, exquisite details, and lovely setting. Its lavish rooms are open for exploration, and guests can take in breath-taking vistas of the surrounding countryside as well as stroll through the parkland. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Pena Palace is the centerpiece of any vacation to Sintra.

3. Lisbon's Jerónimos Monastery: Representing Portugal's heyday of adventure, the Jerónimos Monastery, also known as Mosteiro dos Jerónimos, is a magnificent example of Manueline architecture. Constructed in the sixteenth century to honor Vasco da Gama's victorious journey to India, this building is well-known for its intricate carvings, cloisters, and exquisite chapels. The stunning Church of Santa Maria, with its elaborate vaulted ceilings and superb stained-glass windows, is the monastery's focal point. In addition, visitors can explore the Monument to the Discoveries, which honors Portugal's explorers, and the nearby Maritime Museum. Not to be missed is the Jerónimos Monastery, a cultural treasure recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.

 4. Lisbon's São Jorge Castle: São Jorge Castle, perched atop Lisbon's highest peak, provides expansive views of the city and the Tagus River. It was initially constructed in the eleventh century by the Moors, and for many years afterward, it was both a royal home and a fortification. Because of its strong walls, towers, and archaeological sites, it is now a well-liked tourist destination. The ramparts of the castle can be explored, the archeological museum can be visited, and plays and cultural events can be enjoyed within its gates. São Jorge Castle is a live example of Lisbon's rich and varied history, in addition to being a historical site.

 5. Porto's Dom Luís I Bridge: The Dom Luís I Bridge in Porto, which spans the Douro River, is a famous landmark and an engineering marvel. When the Gustave Eiffel-designed bridge was finished in 1886, it held the record for being the longest iron arch bridge in the world. These days, it serves as a link between the lively Vila Nova de Gaia, which is home to many of Porto's renowned port wine cellars, and the ancient Ribeira neighbourhood. Take a leisurely cruise along the Douro to see the bridge from below, or wander over the upper deck to enjoy panoramic views of the river and the city skyline. A beloved monument that embodies Porto's beauty and charm is the Dom Luís I Bridge.

6. Coimbra, at the University of Coimbra: One of the oldest universities in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site is the University of Coimbra. Its magnificent architectural legacy and rich history date back to its founding in 1290. Perched atop a hill with sweeping views of the city and Mondego River lies the university's main campus, called the Alta and Sofia. Its ancient structures are open for exploration by guests. Two such buildings are the Royal Palace of Alcáçova, which contains the university's administrative offices, and the Joanine Library, which boasts exquisite Baroque architecture and a collection of rare literature. The university's 18th-century botanical garden, with its wide variety of plants and serene ambiance, is another well-liked destination.

Week 6: Discovering the Vibrant Heart of Spain & Portugal

Hey folks, I’m back here to detail the last week of my Spain & Portugal. After that, it’s back to ENSEA & Paris! I spent the week super busy in Madrid. Seville, Granada, Lisbon, and Porto.

Madrid: A Royal Welcome (February 16th - 17th)

February 16th - Arrival in Madrid

On the brisk morning of February 16th, after a swift transition from Barcelona, I found myself aboard the FrecciaRossa Iryo train, cutting through the Spanish landscape at an astonishing speed of 310 kmph towards Madrid. The Spanish capital greeted me with its grandeur and vibrant street life. My exploration began at the Royal Palace, a magnificent testament to Spain's rich monarchic history, which, with its 3,418 rooms, stands as one of Europe's largest palaces. The Plaza España, with its towering monument to Miguel de Cervantes, offered a perfect backdrop for an evening stroll, encapsulating the majestic aura of Madrid.

February 17th - Day Trip to Avila & Segovia

The following day, I embarked on a journey through time, visiting the ancient cities of Avila and Segovia. Avila's imposing Roman walls, stretching over 2.5 km and punctuated by 88 towers, encircle the old town, offering a glimpse into medieval Spain. In Segovia, the colossal Roman aqueduct, an architectural marvel of ancient engineering, took my breath away. I also saw the exquisite craftsmanship of the Spanish forged swords, a testament to the city's metallurgical heritage. The day was perfectly rounded off with a series of delightful tapas.

Seville: A Walk Among Oranges (February 18th - 20th)

February 18th - Arrival in Seville

The journey to Seville on the morning of February 18th introduced me to the unexpected charm of navigating challenges. A hiccup with public transport led me on a 30-minute walk to my Airbnb, a stroll that became one of my most cherished memories, thanks to the orange trees lining the streets. Their bitter fruit, tempting yet inedible, became a symbol of the city's unique allure, planted by the Islamic tribes of Africa when they conquered Andalusia for the majority of its human history.

February 19th - Exploring Seville

Today, was my change to explore Seville. It’s filled with monuments that are a testament to the 5 different conquers that ruled the city and brought their own cultures: The Iberians, Romans, Visigoths, Moors, and Spanish. The Seville Cathedral, a colossal Gothic structure, and the Real Alcazar, with its intricate Moorish architecture and verdant gardens, narrated stories of a city where Christian and Muslim histories intertwine in a beautiful mosaic.

February 20th - A Day Trip to Granada

An early start took me to Granada, where the Alhambra awaited with its red-tinted walls against the backdrop of the Sierra Nevada. The Nasrid Palaces and the Generalife Gardens whispered tales of a bygone era, their beauty a testament to Islamic art and architecture's enduring legacy. This was such a tiring day, but one of the most rewarding. Alhambra is situated on a mountain, and climbing up and down was taxing, but couldn’t be more worth it. The views from the highest tower of The Alhambra show a vivid picture of the whole city of Granada.

Lisbon: A Melody of Traditions (February 21st - 22nd)

I woke up with another early morning and caught the first bus to Faro, Portugal. Then, the journey from Faro to Lisbon, though slow, set the pace for a discovery of Lisbon's serene beauty. The city's landmarks, from the Belem Tower to the Jeronimos Monastery, unfolded like chapters of history, each more compelling than the last. A fado performance in the heart of Lisbon, coupled with a glass of port wine from a chapel bell tower's vantage point, offered a harmonious blend of Portuguese culture and tradition, set against the panoramic canvas of the city.

Porto: A Toast to Memories (February 23rd - 24th)

February 23rd - Arrival in Porto

Lisbon went by really quick, and it was soon time to move to Porto. The Alfa Pendular train's swift journey to Porto marked the beginning of the final chapter of my travels. Porto, with its Douro River and the iconic Dom Luís I Bridge, presented a picturesque setting that was both vibrant and steeped in history. A visit to a historic fountain pen shop dating back to 1829 was a highlight, where a silver Caran d'Ache fountain pen became a treasured keepsake, a symbol of my journey through the rich tapestry of Spain and Portugal.

February 24th - Departure

As I boarded my flight home on the evening of the 24th, I reflected on the past week's adventures. Each city, with its unique charm, had offered a glimpse into the soul of Spain and Portugal, leaving me with memories that would last a lifetime. This journey, chronicled with every stroke of my new fountain pen, was not just a travelogue but a journey of discovery, culture, and unforgettable experiences.

I couldn’t be more excited to sleep in my own bed in Paris, and rest after such a long trip. And of course, I’m looking forward to my next adventures in Venice, Geneva, & Strasbourg!

Hasta Luego,

Portugal and Spain

Introduction - The Bakers are off on another walking tour in northern Portugal and western Spain. We are traveling with our good friends Richard and Susie Weiner and we are looking forward to an interesting, exciting time along with good food. Before the walking tour we will be spending time in Lisbon and Porto.

Follow us during the next couple weeks as we share stories, travel ideas and pictures.

May 20 - 24 - Claremont CA to Lisbon, Portugal -

We arrived in Portugal on May 21 after a stop in Paris. Our hotel was centrally located in the Baixa area, or downtown, of Lisbon. On our first day, May 22, we walked to the Praca do Comercio, a large plaza facing the water and surrounded by government buildings. We walked along the water to the Time Out Market, a very large indoor food court with a variety of Portuguese food. From there we walked to the Chiado neighborhood located on one of Lisbon’s many hills. We had a close-up view of the Elevator de Santa Justa that was completed in 1902 and takes riders seven stories to another Lisbon neighborhood. The line was very long so we decided to take a pass on riding the elevator.

In the afternoon we joined a food tour of Lisbon that introduced us to unique locations and a variety of Portuguese food, including cod fish balls, local cheeses and wine, samosas, a fried South Asian delight with savoury filling, of either beef or vegatables. We finished the tour having the famous Portuguese custard pastry, pasteis de nata. It was a fun tour and our guide was lively and informative.

On May 23, we ventured on public transportation and went to the National Coaches Museum located in the Belem neighborhood. The museum is fascinating with a variety of horse drawn coaches, chaises and miniature coaches with some dating from the 16th Century.

It was fascinating to see the development of coaches over the different time periods.

Afterwards we walked the Belem shoreline to the Statute of the Discoverers, a tribute to the long seafaring history of Portugal, and the Belem Tower, 16th-century fortification that served as a harbor entry point for Portuguese explorers.

On the return we walked different Lisbon neighborhoods with a late lunch stop at a cute restaurant, Fauna & Flora, for a delicious and creative meal. After a rest at our hotel, our evening plans were altered due to a deluge of rain, however, we did venture out for an ice cream.

On May 24 we all took a Tuk Tuk ride, an open air large scooter, to the Castelo de Sao Jorge, a large castle and hilltop area overlooking Lisbon and the harbor. There was a long line for entry to the castle and the Weiners stayed to explore while the Bakers ventured down the hill for a long walk to the Principe Real neighborhood, another hilltop area with narrow streets, a variety of cute shops and restaurants.

In the late afternoon we met back at the hotel for some beverages and relaxation before our dinner for a 45 minute walk along the tree-lined Avenida da Liberdade for dinner at Lidia Restauante & Bar, Mediterranean food with a wide selection of Portuguese cuisine. It was a nice and final day in Lisbon and on to Porto.

C'est chose faite et le coup de cœur confirmé, après nous être installés à une petite table entourée d'azulejos et sans déranger la petite fée des lieux mais en l'admirant comme attendu. Elle est gentille Bagaia, elle vient volontiers vous saluer, aime qu'on grattouille gentiment le bas de son dos, et apprécie de prendre le soleil couchée sur une table ou une chaise de la jolie salle. Les pasteis vous emmène directement au Portugal, à Lisbonne, Porto ou Coimbra, dans ce pays du bel accueil et de la jolie lumière. Ils nous ont donné envie de prévoir très vite un voyage pour aller déguster ces petits gâteaux merveilleux là où ils sont nés. En attendant nous retournerons prendre un café et déguster des pasteis avant d'aller faire le marché aux Batignolles.
