Azulejos, Pastéis de Nata and lots of Vinho do Porto

first time flying with tap. when someone else took my luggage by accident, the people at lisbon airport showed real kindness for my situation.

what has fascinated me about portugal for years were pictures of old yellow trams. now i know that portugal is characterized by many more things. i fell in love with azulejos, the blue tiles so typical for this iberian peninsula state, or pastéis de nata, the famous egg tarts. i was especially taken aback by porto, a small city so breathtakingly beautiful in all its imperfection. and what is most important, the portuguese people made me feel like i was family. enjoy the portugal pictures me and my sister took in february.
