PORTUGAL Tour - 2022/23

Hi guys, this is our trip through Portugal in winter 2022/23 and back via Spain. To all who follow us - bon voyage! 🚐 Left: https://www.visitportugal.com/en https://travel-to-spain.com/ https://www.beachrex.com/en/portugal?scr=destinationsMap https://www.geo.de/reisen/19825-rtkl-portugal-ria-formosa-eine-lagunenlandschaft-zum-verlieben In my opinion, if you go to Portugal to spend the winter, you should better do the loop clockwise. Then it may still be/already warm in the Algarve and you have a better chance of warm and, above all, dry weather on the west coast on the Atlantic.

On the Pico de Montánchez there are radio masts at about 1000m and the famous shaky stone "El Cancho que se Menea"
Our pitch Camperstop Alegria is one of the best so far and is owned by Dutchmen Joop and Ivon. We have never stood so calmly and sublimely.

Salamanca, Spanien

Always worth a trip to the center. Visit the artist district with street art! District Oeste

We are at the Don Quixote campsite, just outside of Salamanca. From here you can quickly reach the city by bike. It takes about 30 minutes on the bike path along the Tormes. In addition to some highlights that we look at, we also go to the district of Oeste, where street art has been on display for a few years. There are great graffitis, but overall everything seems a bit artificial, not grown.
This is where many of the city's more than 30,000 students live, some of whom we recognize.
