A Few Pics of Portugal
The Mr and I recently spent eight days in Portugal staying in old historical buildings or Pousadas as they are known. Three different buildings, a Royal Guard barracks attached to an old palace, a hospital and a very old monastery. Most of the time spent there was very charming and so I thought I would post just a few pics. Do have a close look at the tiles, eighteenth century I believe and the subject? why, The Chicken's Wedding, natch.

I love The Chicken''s Wedding - such detail.
ReplyDeleteThe huge tree is wonderful. Is it an olive?
The magnificent tree was in a very old hilltop village called Obidos, founded in 308BC. I'm not really sure what the tree was but definitely not an Olive as too big. I felt a tremendous energy from it.
DeleteWhat wonderful buildings, I have never been to Portugal, it looks a beautiful place to visit.
ReplyDeleteIt was very busy of course but we had a fab time.
DeleteHa ha....LOVE the tiles - and the chicken in the carriage just cracked me up for some reason. I was in Portugal years and years...and years...ago. A beautiful country and beautiful people. How I wish I could have had your lodging arrangements - WOW! I stayed in hostels...and not of the pleasant variety LOL. Thanks for sharing your lovely photos. ~Robin~

Thanks jan. I could do with some of that sunshine now.
DeleteI love the Chicken's wedding too. We visited the Tile Museum in Lisbon and came away totally smitten. So many wonderful old tiles with beautiful images.
