PORTUGAL

Hello everybody!

As you can remember, the trip we had some of us for celebrate the end of our secondary studies, it was to Portugal,Salamanca and Madrid.

The part of Portugal was amazing! As some teachers said to us,Portugal is a poor country but it has incredible things and I want to show you what we saw and learnt there.

• LISBOA: This is the capital city of Portugal. 

There we could see this ancient convent which was located in front of the decoration of the city's marathon.

The guide said to us that once,the river grew up so much that he arrived until the door of this convent.

This is the Belem Tower,an amazing monument located some streets under the ancient convent and this is the ruin of an ancient fortress.

Near it,it's the 25th April's bridge.

 We had the opportunity to see many different types of life that we had no idea thanks to the oceanographic museum,where the majority of the types of life who live in all the oceans could be found.

This is a type of fish,that it's alive but he lives in the sand and the sand covers it.

• SINTRA,ESTORIL AND CASCÁIS:

This is Sintra,another Portuguese city. It's so beautiful and it is so easy to walk through the centre because each street is connect to another one.

But the centre is so expensive! 

This was the first monument we saw,we did not enter into it but the views it had,they were incredible.

This is Cabo da Roca,this is the most occidental European point.
There,it was so cold,it was raining but we had incredible views like this one.
We could see the true meaning of the nature.
It's located in Estoril.

And this is the bingo that is located in Cascáis.
We saw Cascáis by bus,it's a nice city,the most beautiful for me were the beaches,I hope to visit one someday and the bingo is one of the main factors of the city.

• COIMBRA: 

This was the last city in Portugal we saw,but the one that I loved the most.

This ''text'' is from a student. This is a tradition,go to this place that is located on top of the city to leave your favourite text or sentence as a sign that you've finished your career.

This is one of them.

This is the university of Sintra,where you can see the students wearing black capes because they're the characteristic uniform.
In the photo above this,we can see the views we had from the university.

These photos are part of the centre of the city,so impressive!

I think that the historic monuments give the city another meaning,making her beautiful.
