I am very happy to have found your blog. I am Portuguese, living in the UK, and passionate about Portugal too. It is always nice to discover a passion in people, especially through the places they like.

Although I was born in Lisbon and spent most of my childhood in Sintra, I never really got to know our capital as I was more familiar with the Cascais and Estoril coast near Sintra and, too, the north of Portugal where my grandfather still lives. About four years ago, while at university, we visited Lisbon as part of an Urban Regeneration project, and it was my first proper chance to get to know the city. We visited many places, most of which I’d never seen before. The old, the new, and the completely modern. We learnt about the history of the city, as well as the current reality, through all its urban and social changes. It was a very rewarding and enlightening experience. Since then I have been back many times, as I have a strong connection to the city. I also love other parts of Portugal, and always like to discover new places. It is a beautiful country, always in my heart.

Lovely to have found you. As melhoras para voce. Sergio
