Filed under: Portugal
I was in Portugal in october 2008. Before it I never been there before but I could go there again.
We arrived at evening and weather was great warm and clear. Water was about 20 degrees warm but portugalians said that it’s too cold to swim so it was fun thing. So if you go there at autumn you will see only forgeiners swimming in sea. There was little triatlon when we was there.
My dad had conservation with one competitor about wet suit and competitor said that in Finland would need two wet suits if want to go to swim because water is so cold in Finland.
The European most western place on land was so awesome so it’s almost impossible to describe. There was very good tranquality. The place name is Cabo da Roca.
This video is from youtube.
But Portugal have bad sides too of course. When went to ocenarion we saw very much poor people and broken houses so there is huge weatlhy differences in one place some have very big and cool houses and some other place people live in broken houses.

The ocenarion was very cool place there was much fishes what I have never seen before. Like this.

A great description of Portugal, is the city in question Lisbon by any chance? I enjoyed the little story about the guy you met and his impression of Finland. That was a fun detail. You could have used more of them and described the place through your senses a few times. All in all, good work!

Cool pictures but where are the translated challenging words?
