Today I'm going to describe a country which is situated next to Spain... and by The Atlantic Ocean... I think you know it yet. Of course, I'm writing about Portugal!
Have you ever been there? I haven't been there yet but I'm going to go there in the future, maybe next year.
That hot climate attracks... There is more than 300 sunny days in one year!
The capital city of Portugal is Lisbon, a pearl of Atlantic. It is one of the most beautiful capital cities in Europe. There is a quarter "Belem" where Vasco da Gama started his journey. You can visit Lisbon travelling by a yellow tram which became a symbol. It drives you to the most popular monuments and places in Lisbon.
Near to the capital city of Portugal you can find many resorts, just like Costa da Caparica where is an elegant and wide beach, as well Praia do Tamariz, Carcavelos, Cascais (especially for surfing, kitesurfing and windsurfing lovers), Praia do Sul, Costa de Prata or Costa Verde (one of the wildest coasts) and many others.

Cascais
30 km from Lisbon is Sintra - placed on wooded hills - very pictureque village full of castles and palaces. The biggest attraction is Palacio Nacional da Pena which is a mixture of styles and colours. Also, you can see Palacio da Vila (be careful because there you can get lost very quickly!) or Quinta da Regaleira consisted of a palace, chapel, tunnels, parks, fountains and aquariums. You can find Sinstra on UNESCO World Heritage List.

That's all for today but I will continue my post about Portugal soon.
See you!
