Portugal, a corner of old Europe
Portugal, once a great maritime power and a sea bully in the 15th century, has been brilliant for more than 100 years, and has occupied many colonies, including Macao, China. As a neighbor of Spain, it is also a place for European holiday tourism. When I visited Spain in 13 years, I didn't stop by and saw many introductions. I went to Sicily this winter.
November is the off-season. It's not as sunny as summer and autumn, but I'm lucky. Most of the weather is good. I think it's rainy and the scenery is not so good.
Porto in, Lisbon back. I didn't go to the southernmost channel. According to reports, most of the historic sites are in the central part.
trip:
D1 Catania (Sicily, Italy) to Madrid / Porto
D2 Porto / Braga Braga Guimaraes
D3 GUIMARAES/PORT
D4 Porto / Coimbra Coimbra
D5 Coimbra / Batalha bataria
D6 Batalha / Obidos Obidos
D7 Obidos / Lisbon Lisbon
D8 LISBON
D9 Lisbon: Sintra Sintra
D10 LISBON/BEIJING/SHANGHAI
Its hundred years of brilliance has left many traces of history on the mainland. A 9-day trip can help you feel its style.
Some people say that Portugal has seven Miracles: 1) monastery monterio de Alcobaca
2) Lisbon: monsteiro DOS jeronimous
3) Sintra: Palazzo de Pena
4) Mosliero de Batalha, monastery of bataria
5) Castelo de Obidos Castle
6) Lisbon: Torre de Belem belenta
7) Castelo de Guimaraes
We've all gone. Although we'd like to have a quick tour, there's no doubt about its charm.
It's public transport all the way.

Off season, tickets can be bought on the spot.
There are not many tourist materials in Portugal in China. Fortunately, both ctrip.com and qiongyou.com have online articles and brochures for reference. I bought a book "let's go, easy trip to Portugal", which I think is more suitable for group tour.

On November 20, I took Rayan Airlines yesterday. Because I didn't want to go to Porto in the middle of the night, I changed planes in Madrid and spent the night at the airport hotel in the evening. However, thieves are very rampant. There are thieves in 4 * airport hotels. My wife's backpack was stolen in the lobby in seconds. When I went to the airport police station to report a case, a tourist called the police and the cart was robbed. When I was waiting for the hotel bus after reporting the police, I felt that my backpack had changed. When I turned around, my backpack was pulled apart and a woman was fighting nearby? Telephone.... There is a private notice in front of the airport police station. For those who don't speak Spanish, their alarm number and office hours... When entering the airport the next day, the radio reminds tourists to take good care of their luggage and prevent theft. Maybe it happened that Catalonia was fighting independence in the previous stage, and Spain had no police force to combat theft? Europe travel, anti-theft is a basic skill. Unfortunately, my passport and credit card are in my backpack. My cell phone is there, too. An ocean phone call reported the loss of his wife's mobile phone, credit card, more than 400 Euro Cash, camera and his wife's travel notes. What's more hateful is that the drug for his wife's hypertension is gone. He asked his family to wechat the name of the drug and went to Porto in Portugal to buy it（ When I was traveling in Greece, I coughed not only in pharmacies, but also in pharmacies
Unfortunately, the trip still had to go on, but the good impression of visiting Madrid in the past few years was wiped out.
。。
Flying over the Spanish plateau at the window of the plane to the green land of Portugal.
Terraces - Portuguese also have the tenacity to fight with the ground...
Porto arrived in more than an hour. Airport by subway, buy stored value transport card 0.5 Euro cost, (all over Portugal) Porto sub region, the airport is in zone 4, according to the automaton on the station indicator map recharge purchase. To the downtown San Bento railway station, which is high in the city, just all the way down to the hotel by the Doro river.
The main scenic spots are nearby. After checkin, you take the city map and go uphill in turn
Bishop's church, se do Porto,
Adjacent to each other is lgregia de Sao Francisco, the Medieval Church of St. Francis. It was built in 1530. In the first half of the 18th century, it was a cloister
The roof and pillars were inlaid with gold.
Exquisite and beautiful wood carving
After the tour, I return to the square,
On the left side of the square is the former exchange, Palacio Da Bolsa, which has become a hotel.
The red building is the mechado market, the earliest market of Porto, which has been transformed into hotels, bars and galleries.
The old town's tangge Road remains the same. Go uphill. A tavern by the side of the road, lunch - clean and delicious.
There is also a viewing platform beside the church. If you are not afraid of the steep uphill, there is a pedestrian trail in the square.
However, there are many slopes on the motorway. The old city is the old city...
After going up the slope, we arrived at the square. Torre DOS clerigos, the priest tower beside the church, was very high. We could buy tickets to go up. We were afraid of 225 stairs and gave up.
The square is beautiful
Two churches in the north, the old church igreja DOS cleriyos.
The ceramic tile painting on the exterior wall has a strong Portuguese flavor
Go down the main street after the train station. Commercial street to see a green cross drugstore, just my wife's hypertension drugs are sold, the price is slightly lower than the domestic it.
A glimpse of the interior of the Cathedral
Back to the riverside of the hotel, the Bund of Porto, all the old buildings are there.
The buffet breakfast in the 11 / 21 hotel is very good. The egg tarts are delicious - the king of pastry in Portugal - the standard of breakfast. It's delicious everywhere. Today, I went north to Braga and Guimaraes, stayed for one night, and then came back to check my luggage for easy travel. Walking slowly up the slope, I arrived at Porto railway station yesterday. It's antique.
1.65 Euro paper tickets. 30 minutes to the end. There are a lot of trains. They leave on the hour and at half-time, and so are the return trains. It's easy to remember.
The church is a neoclassical form, completed in 1881, built by King Carlos for the worship and loyalty to God. On a hill more than 150 meters high. There is a cable car up the mountain, 2 Euro round trip, 1.3 euro per time. Most people get on the cable car and get off on foot. We're old bones. It's easy to choose.
It combines the traditional Portuguese architectural art.
The facade is solemn and rigorous
The square stands high and has a panoramic view
If you look back at the church at the foot of the mountain, you can see 17 steps up, and there are 14 chapels at the corner of the road, describing the process of Christ's crucifixion: from "the last supper" to "the discharge of the holy body".
When you get down from the cable car, you can get back to the city by bus. According to the city map, you can get off in the downtown town of Braga. You don't have to take another two stops to the railway station. Civic Square in down town
A must visit to Braga: the cathedral, Se caterpillar de Braga, is also a world heritage site. Square in the 17th century...
The sunlight shines on the colored glass, light and shadow linger
The arrangement of organ pipes is different, but the time is not right, so we can't listen to them.
There are soul rooms in the basement. They are all elite families.
Exquisite wood carving of altar
It's amazing. Unfortunately, the lack of religious knowledge, did not understand the meaning of the story.
The ancient city remains the same, the Braga is full of Portuguese charm, and the beautiful city gate...
There is also Archbishop's palace, a 17th century Lord's residence in the town. After walking through the small town, I asked passers-by and found the long-distance bus station center, such as the bus station in a small county in China in the 1980s, which has information service. After inquiring, I learned that platform 10 was about an hour away from Guimaraes, which is tens of kilometers away. There is a shopping mall at the bus stop. It's just funny. There are barbecued chicken, bread, fruit and dinner. Guimareas management is organized, taxis are parked in the parking place and watch, and the drivers are honest. Take a 4-hour taxi to the hotel by tour square in the center of the city --- the original monastery rebuilt.
Tour square
It's cloudy on November 22. The hotel takes the city map. The scenic spots are very concentrated. It goes through the old street and has signs.
Visit Largo Da olieira in turn, and see Olivera Church in the square
On the right side of olive square, you can see the church Santa Marinha da Costa, which was built in the 12th century. First it was a monastery, and then it was changed into a church in the 18th century
The garden in front of the church is very special
Just at the time of mass, we watched the old decoration quietly.
Return to olive square, and then go up tanche road
Another monastery
Folk houses
When you go to the two major scenic spots of Guimaraes, Paco dis Duques, the Duke's mansion, it opens at 9:30, and you go up to Castle Do Guimaraes first
Overlooking the Duke hall, the castle has 39 chimneys.
The castle built in the 10th century has experienced many vicissitudes...
Go to the Duke Hall
The most luxurious official residence of the Duke of Branca, built in 1420-22.
The decoration in the room is luxurious, Chinese porcelain, brocade tapestry, furniture, ceramic tile painting...
Main hall
In the middle ages, the ceiling was supported by wooden beams.
Royal Church
Cloister, patio
According to reports, there was no perfect solution to the heating problem at that time, which led to the fact that it was basically not used in winter, and the medieval science and technology fire was not yet available.
The pupils on the autumn outing brought vitality to the Duke's mansion, and the teacher took a picture of them.
Below the Duke's mansion, take the loop bus of tug bus company to the bus stop
Turn to the next railway station and go to Porto (2.5 Ou old man), and get to Porto in an hour.
In Porto railway station, its ceramic tile paintings stick to the eyes（ I didn't leave the gate when I came.
The free city guide is explaining... The Municipal Tourism Bureau provides several free tour guides every day so that tourists can learn more about Porto...
Ceramic tile painting -- the quintessence of Portugal
Standing in front of the railway station, you can see the old flavor of Porto
Take the tram D line to the Lewis I bridge. The design of the bridge is the work of the Eiffel Tower designer in France.
Bridgehead station
Good viewing platform. Unfortunately, it's cloudy.
The cable car beside the platform of the bridge was stopped for some reason, so we walked down the hill to the bar street by the river, another name card of Porto.
The bar is a street side
The famous saleman winery needs to visit for 10 euro. There are many tour groups, and they have to queue up to make an appointment. The main selling point is the wine warehouse, and visitors can taste four different kinds of wine. On the side of the Cruz lounge to see, enjoy a wine introduction. In fact, none of the wineries are in Porto, but this block is the gateway of the wineries. From the bar street back to the hotel on the other side, walk across the bridge.
11 / 23 the restaurant of the hotel is on the top floor. You can see the open bar on the square. When it's not open, the tables and chairs are still charming.
Hotel to the railway station is uphill, do not want to tow luggage, take the taxi at the door, said 3.45 euro, the driver slapped several times into 5.95 euro, may be the luggage fee, we do not know whether the additional tip, gave 7 euro. The driver is very happy. Seeing that there were not many people at the ticket office, we went to the window to buy tickets and to Coimbra. The conductor gave us two choices: the transfer bus left early at 9:05 and the direct bus left late at 9:45. We also chose to go early - to Aveiro. The travel book "easy trip to Portugal" we bought doesn't even have a map of Portugal. I don't know where Aveiro is? It took almost three hours, and it took two hours. A glimpse of Aveiro railway station---
The Coimbra hotel is not far from the railway station. The front desk is warm, introducing the tourist attractions, saying that they are walkable. First, I went to the mosteiro de Santa Cruz monastery @ 1131 on the main street. Because there were two kings of the original Portuguese kingdom buried, it was named the Pantheon.
There are a lot of porcelain plate paintings, which have been lasting for a long time.
The stone carvings are exquisite and full...
He also went up the slope to see Coimbra University, the oldest university in Portugal. He thought that walking up the slope in the old city should be a little bit, but he didn't know it was very high, and his leg joints hurt. First to the old church @ 1120, stone church, garden simple.
The lifelike stone sculptures should be saints.
It's amazing. Unfortunately, the lack of religious knowledge, did not understand the meaning of the story.
The garden has Arabic elements.
The church is not small
Then climb the hill to the University's clock tower @ 1200, and stop at the University bar first. Its 1.2 Euro Portuguese soup is very delicious. The university is on the commanding height of the old city! The university took turns between Lisbon and Guimaraes. At last, Joao, the king of Lisbon, was appointed to Guimaraes, and the university built its statue to express its gratitude.
A distant view from the teaching building
The library is also a bright spot, but we didn't buy tickets when we went up the mountain. When we went down the mountain to the square, we didn't go.
When visiting Coimbra University, you should take a bus, and there are also buses! Or take a taxi up the mountain and down the slope to visit all the way.
I don't want to walk on my way back. I go to the school gate and ask the students, where is the bus?
In the bus station of the University, you can find the botanical garden tour bus Botanico line and the green minibus, which can reach the railway station. 1.5 euro. There's a voice guide, with earphones. According to the route map, I took one more stop to cross the river. I wanted to see the ruins of the Church of San Francisco, the Church of sadness. Unfortunately, the sky was dim, so I went home. There is Diya supermarket beside the railway station.
The 11 / 24 hotel restaurant is on the top floor, and you can see the university town on the high ground.
The community bus in the small town can't read Portuguese. Guess it's a community bus cycle. There's a supermarket beside the station. It's convenient for residents. The two lines have four shifts a day. It's also a solution for people who don't have cars.
Later, I learned that most of the tourists here are tour groups or self driving, and it's off-season, so I have to see tourists.
After check in, go to monasteries of Santa Maria da Victoria, 3 Euro tickets.
Originally intended to commemorate the Portuguese victory over casilians in aljubarota, after King Joao I, in the 14th century ordered the restoration, lasting for 200 years
Repair, fusion of various schools.
Stone carving for beginners
It's a pity that many people only look at the appearance. Internal shock
"The founder's Church" -- the soul room with octagonal star roof
King Joao I's family buried in the chamber
One hall was set up as the memorial hall of the unknown pioneer
The garden corridor is grand and exquisite“
Luxurious and elegant, with Arabic style.
It's different
There is a small museum inside
On the southwest side of it is king Duarte who repaired his own spiritual chamber in the 1630s, but left behind the famous unfinished spiritual chamber by driving crane to the West. The stone carvings are exquisite,
The monastery has no roof, time goes by
The facade is so rich
Looking for food in the evening, pizaria tentazione, a pizza shop on the slip road beside the main road, saw that local people patronize a lot. It's not surprising that the price is cheap and the quality is good. About 9 inches of pizza, vegetable flavor of 7.9 euro, potato soup of 1.5 euro.
November / 25 November is winter time and weekend. Bus to Obidos is only available at 14.21 p.m. on weekdays in the morning.
If I don't understand Portuguese, I guess words. I don't know on Sunday. Think about it. I'm not willing to wait. When I see a taxi, I draw a map,
How much is an hour's stay to and from Alcobaca? The driver draws 30 euros with a calculator. OK。 Go to Alcobaca
About 20 minutes. Tickets 3 Euro, the elderly. The monastery was large in scale, with nearly a thousand nuns in its heyday.
Entrance to the king's Hall
Porcelain painting tells history...
Accommodation area
Garden cloister
The monastery buries the amorous king Pedro I and his beloved wife. Portuguese people all know the sad story: when the old king saw that the prince secretly married his maid, he did not allow him to do so, and ordered his servants to kill him. After the prince righted him, he retaliated against his accomplice, told him to kiss his maid's rotten feet, and announced that he married his maid as his wife and became Queen. He also asked his men to face his feet when he was buried so that he could wake up and face each other...
The king's sarcophagus is held up by a lion, while the Queen's is under pressure to deal with her old king's accomplice...
The monastery is very big and has two halls. It is nice to hold a regional food exhibition and browse the rich Portuguese delicacies.
One hour is so fast that we can only have a quick tour.
Back to Batalha, there is still time for the afternoon bus. Just sit in the park next to the monastery and watch the monastery.
The church is open. I have time to make another round.
The only bus in the afternoon arrives on time. When we get to Obidos, it's a small bus station. No one has taxis. Although the hotel is not too far away, it's all on the Dangge Road, and it's going downhill. If they tow their suitcases, they will be exhausted when they arrive at the hotel. Ask their wife to stand by, leave their luggage and go to the hotel first. Ask the front desk to call for a taxi, 4 euro. The hotel is very antique. It was rebuilt from the old house. The door keys all have Knight style. In fact, you can call the hotel and ask them to call for a taxi, and you can stand by - that's more labor-saving.
There's a shortcut to the main street. We'll go to the main street for food
There's a bookstore, like a church
The main street is business street. Walk into the old drying room of a family
Cherry wine is a local specialty, made of chocolate goblet, a cup, 1 euro, very strong wine. The bread and pastry baked on site are excellent.
11 / 26 Obidos is Pingyao, Portugal, and the ancient city wall has its own characteristics. The hotel is right under the wall.
Walking slowly to the old city
The main street is the castle in the end. You can overlook the town when you climb the wall.
There is a hotel in the castle
The bookstore I went in yesterday is not open yet
The main street where the tour group hasn't arrived is very quiet...
Street Center: square, town hall and church
On the wall of the town hall
The view coach is on duty...
All around the city wall are interlinked, you can walk around for a tour --- as time goes by, no one wants convenient transportation, demolition...
Even the remains of Roman canals are there
The entrance to the ancient city is still like that...
Take your luggage and take a taxi to the railway station. Obidos is a small station, and there are few trains a day. There's only one bus to Lisbon.
The train arrived on time. It was a regional train with only one carriage. Maybe the shockproof of foundation or train chassis is old and rickety. More than 100 kilometers, stop at every station, it took 2 hours to get to St apoloma in Lisbon. When we bought tickets on the train, the conductor told us that the train could not reach Rossio railway station in the center of the city, so we had to transfer to the subway halfway. We also wrote down the place name. Let's go to the terminal St polma first. Take a look at the scenery all the way.
When I arrived at Lisbon railway station, I saw the map. This station is not far from roosio station. It is connected with the subway. I bought it on the automata. 1.45 Euro + 0.5 Euro magnetic card fee. Blue Line 2 turns from baxio station to green line 1 and goes to Rossio station. There are several exits, so you ask the administrator. Go to the hotel and you will see the hotel when you leave. I thought the railway would be convenient, but I don't know that the bus from Obidos to Lisbon might be more convenient.
It's a long journey. Take the time to go to the scenic spots. Take the city map, take the subway, recharge 1.45 Euro magnetic card to Belem Tower. The elevator is still under construction, so we can only climb the overpass
Belem Tower, closed at 5:00, can only enjoy the appearance
In the distance is the famous 325 bridge in Lisbon.
Climb the overpass again and cross the road to mosteiro DOS Jer ó nimos. The church is not closed.
The monasteries we saw before were the spiritual places of kings, and each of them respectfully placed Vasco da Gama, a Portuguese navigator and a poet, carmois!
11 / 27 the old-fashioned 28e tram goes to the old town, which is very convenient next to the hotel. Charge the daily ticket on the magnetic card (7 Euro bar)
Trams run through the old city. Some streets are narrow and houses are gorgeous. Maybe it's the postcard view. After going uphill and going downhill, the driver spoke Portuguese, and we saw that Hai also got off the bus. Later, we checked and found out that the name of the station was Largo Das Portas do sol.
But I didn't see the way to the castle. I thought I had passed the station, so I just went to church of Sao centre of tora church at the next station of 28e
Then he went back to the original station and asked passers-by for advice - there was a castle on a hill on a path
St Jorge castle. The old people's tickets are preferential. We can take a copy of our passport.
The castle chokes the sea to protect the city...
325 bridge, the designer of Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.
A panoramic view of Lisbon
Sightseeing elevator in the old city
The castle is surrounded by a circle overlooking Lisbon.
At the gate of the castle, there is a minibus ᦇ 737 going down the hill. The 28e tram failed to drive up the hill, but the minibus greatly facilitated the tourists. The minibus goes to the square and then transfers to the maritime monument by the sea. Originally, I wanted to visit the Carriage Museum. The old one was moved to the new one, but it didn't open at noon.
It was built in 1960 to commemorate the dream of maritime power pursued by our ancestors 500 years ago
The map of the world on the ground is a seafaring trail, and Macao is vividly remembered.
On the other side of the street is mosteiro DOS Jer ó nimos,
The square near the hotel, weekend market, food stalls, daily necessities, etc. Portuguese style roasted pigs are more charred than those from Spain, as well as cheese. The view by the hotel is also very good.
It's cloudy and rainy on November 28. I'm going to Cintra in the outer suburbs today.
When the train arrives at Sintra, the bus stops at the exit. The daily ticket in the city is 5.5 euro, and the big day ticket includes 12.0 euro to castcate (via Roca corner).
The line in the city is to the Palace first
The ceiling of the hall is decorated with birds, and the Swan hall is a masterpiece.
Two chimneys are the signs
Magpie hall. The walls like to use ceramic tiles
garden
Main hall
The room looks out and overlooks the town
Intrauterine courtyard
Out of the palace gate, we are still waiting at the stop when we get off.
Palacio de Pena: a fairy tale palace.
It's a pity that it's rainy in late autumn and there is no surrounding scenery. It's foggy and rainy.
The inner court is full of Arabic charm
restaurant
Roman bathroom
Royal family tree
It's not a fairy tale, it's a fairy tale...
with the care and precision of a sculptor
This Portuguese "summer resort" is very big, with castles, hunting villas, etc. we won't go. Take a bus back to the railway station, then transfer to # 403, about 50 minutes to cabo de Roca, the end of the European continent.
There are many tourist groups. There is a passenger center at the entrance, and there are also commemorative certificates for sale in the westernmost part of Europe.
The land is here at last, and the sea is here at first. Standing at the westernmost end of the European continent, you can have a broad view.
Lighthouse @ 1567
In the bar of the tourist center, there is no hot tea but strong coffee. Please add hot water to make instant coffee and have a drink in the western part of the Atlantic Ocean.
11 / 29 Lisbon has only direct flights to Beijing. Capital Airlines (Hainan Airlines and Capital Tourism Group joint venture) www.jdair.net flies to Beijing, and then turns to Hainan Airlines to return to Shanghai Hongqiao Airport.
Portugal, a tour on the 9th, has the style of old Europe, and the great power of navigation in the 15th century.
