PORTUGAL

After visiting the Basque Country, I completed the discovery of the Iberian Peninsula by driving my car through the roads of Spain and Portugal.

The beauty of travelling by car is also to take the wrong road and get lost, passing through places known only to a few inhabitants.

Faro is a small town.
I thought there was a lighthouse. I looked everywhere, but I couldn’t find it.
There is no lighthouse in Faro.

Getting to Lisboa is very scenic.
Looking at the statue of Cristo Rei on the right, I felt like I was in a little Rio de Janeiro.
But soon after, when you cross the 25 de Abril Bridge, you can imagine you are in San Francisco.

But you are in Lisbon.

A city that, like Cagliari, Moscow, Jerusalem, Istanbul, Brussels, Prague, Edinburgh, Mecca, Seattle and surely a few others, is built on 7 hills.
Yes, Rome is not the only city built on 7 hills.
