Adega do Cantor, Portugal – NOT ONLY Sir Cliff Richard vineyard.

What is a “white lie”?

Simply put it is an action of stretching the truth to an acceptable state. Acceptable enough means having something in common with the facts. The white lie is a great marketing strategy. The borderline between the actual lie and the truth is very very thin, and the whole thing is not a lie entirely. But it is not the truth either… All depends on the interpretation really. Like with Vida Nova and Onda Nova – the wines signed by Sir Cliff Richard. Indicating by his signature that they were created at his vinery, from the grapes grew on his vineyard, and he was the sole creator of this delicious beverage. Adega do Cantor is a perfect example of using a white lie strategy as a marketing tool. Not very successfully though, as it seems that the Birch family is thinking about selling the whole estate…

9 reasons for traveling with a tent – for 9-5 folks :)

There are plenty of advices for full-time travellers on how to book cheap accommodation, buy cheap flight ticket, find great place to eat etc. However if you are not, like me, a full time traveller, you might consider spending part of your holidays with a rented car and a tent!

To this day I consider our 2 weeks holidays in Portugal with a tent the best holidays ever. And this is why:

Go without a plan – lets beauty unfolds on its own… Portugal

This is still my favorite travel destination as without a doubt it has some unique and most attractive beaches I have ever seen. We visited in October so it was less “touristy” and not crowded as during the season. The time was perfect and we could enjoy the beaches by ourselves.

Batalha – not planned but not a miss!

Let me start on saying – Portugal is amazing!!! I am not the person who considers coming back to the country again, but Portugal would be on the top of the list if I have one for “visiting again”. So, if you have a tent and spare time just book your ticket, pack your stuff, rent a car (better have a car if you are carrying a tent around and it is not that expansive if you look carefully) and go and see Portugal! The most amazing, beautiful beaches, lovely people, great food, grand architecture and more will await you.
