Portugal
Portugal, more specifically Lisbon and its region, a trip that I loved for the gentleness and kindness of the people I met there.
We feel a very strong family value. Moreover, when I arrived in Lisbon in the middle of the afternoon, I was able to find a bistro in a very discreet alley where the tables were located in a back room without windows and yet bright.
Before my arrival, I was impatient to be able to taste a dish that was recommended to me, the grilled octopus (fabulous !).
Greeted by a gentleman behind the bar who directs me to the room where I guess his wife just finishing lunch and both smiling at me.
Alone in the room, the husband brings me the dish on a tray and serves me the plate as if I were his son, before putting the dish on the table.
Even today, I smile warmly when I think about it.
This moment, which may seem trivial, is representative of a set of details that caught my attention throughout my stay.
This trip made in 2019 between city and nature is a favorite!
