@mhussy I only just heard of Monsanto now, but upon checking, it is popularly known as "the most Portuguese village of Portugal". This is definitely worth checking out. I am also into hiking, and October would be good weather for that kind of activity.
@endo These places on your map surely piqued my interest, thank you for sharing. Most interested in the Initiation Well and Santa Justa Lift.
@Dmart Do you know of a restaurant where you can enjoy fado music and pasteis de nata at the same time? Sending my thanks in advance!
@mclaincausey Your pal is really lucky to be an expat in this beautiful country!
