¡Hola a todos! It has been such a hectic week trying to complete everything since the semester is ending this THURSDAY, I know the time has flown by. But I guess that I should do some catching up…
First of all, Lisboa was amazing! The weather was perfect, the trip well organized, and the food was incredible, making this one of the best weekends this entire year! The city is located along the Tagus, Tajo, or Tejo River (Depending on which language you speak…English, Spanish, or Portuguese) and is also the current capital of Portugal. While there we visited several important sites including the Castelo São Jorge, Torre de Bélem, Monasterio de los Jerónimos, as well as many other sites including a nice theatre where we were able to watch a fado show while enjoying a delicious meal. During the trip we also traveled to several other surrounding cities like Sintra & Cascais, two lovely beach side towns where we had a lot of free time to relax, walk around, or simply lay on the beach. We also traveled to Cabo de Roca, which is the most western point of mainland Europe! It was so nice there and the view was incredible (as you can see from the foto above). Needless to say the trip was a great sucess and to top it all off, we ate some Pastéis de Bélem, some heavenly desserts that are famous from that area by locals as well as tourists alike, making the weekend end on a wonderful note. The bus ride was about eight hours, but I guess that is what you have to pay to reach some of the nicest places on earth...
¡Hasta Luego!
