Happy Sunday Steemians!
Hope all of you had a great weekend. I'm new to the Steemit Community and I'm planning to write and upload more photo series about my travels from the past 4 years every Sunday! :) To myself I'm studying Interior architecture in Germany and before that I was travelling a lot and still am. So I hope you will enjoy the first foto series about Portugal.
Beach at Sagres!
We got a flight from Munich to Faro in September 2016, where we rented a car for the trip through the Algarve. Here is our first appartment which we booked over Airbnb, it was amazing!
First stop at the beach was at Ria Formosa natural park on Ilha Deserta. It was beautiful and not crowded at all!
Driving up the Algarve I've seen some of the nicest beaches and caves which weren't crowded at all. Since tourism started growing in the last years though this might change in the next years I assume. Let's hope not, since Portugal really has some more hidden gems!
some salt farms we visited in Portugal, haven't seen any before... was really interesting to see!
First we have seen the cave from above! Really amazing and then...
I swam into the cave! Also awesome! There is no real path into the cave, the only way to get there is through the water...
I made it! I went there first to check if my girlfriend could make it and I thought it would be doable for her, so I went back and picked her up and we went for the second swim! She said she couldn't make it back on her own, it was allready too hard on the way here, which is why we asked a Stand up paddler to take her back after an hour in the cave. On the way to the cave I was allways behind her so if something would have happend I could help her... So guys and girls if you go there be careful! Don't take it too easy...This day there were just too many big waves...
White small church on top of a cliff at Armacao de Pera beach...
Sunset at the Odeceixe Beach!
My girlfriend and some kind of art at Fortaleza de Sagres
Me looking into the sea and enjoying the view! :)
No this is not San Francisco! This is Lisbon! Such a beautiful city!
And no this is not Rio de Janeiro! Still Lisbon ;)
Monastery of jeronimos in Belem district in Lisbon..
My girlfriend and I infront of the Monastery of jeronimos in Belem district. Pastéis de Belém must go to in Belem, might be really touristy but the Pasteis are amazing there.
Lisbon from above..
Needless to say, the trip was amazing, we had a lot of fun, perfect weather, met some really nice people and experienced. Portugal is a beautiful place. Have you already been there and got any tips for other Steemer? Then comment :)
Also if you got any tips for my next photo series? What could I change? More text or less text? More photos or less photos? I'm open for any tips!
