Fab photos.

I feel as though I am back there when I see them.

A lot of the time we go away we took our camcorder with us so have video but few photos.

Lisbon Trams

Here are my selections of Lisbon, We have a good feeling when in any Portuguese location, always a bit more relaxed than Spain in our opinion. Pics.. on the water front,  & leaving at sunset/ under the bridge( very noisy) from the rumble of traffic.!!

Some smashing Lisbon pics here.  Lovely memories.  It’s a great destination and another of those lovely ‘dock in the centre and walk off’ ports.

Does everyone have a Trains & Boats & Planes picture, sailing up the Tagus, under the bridge, which is carrying a train whilst a plane flies overhead on its way to the airport?

We generally stroll around & then treat ourselves to a fishy lunch in a cafe off the beaten track.  Wonderful quality food at ridiculously cheap prices

 

Another of our favourites - Porta 6 wine.  I think it’s about £9 @ Majestic and about €4 direct from Portugal Vineyards if they can find a way to ship to UK now.  I’m glad we have a few bottles stashed away

Here's our day in Lisbon. A foggy arrival, Oceanário de Lisboa in the morning, a quick refuel at Pastéis de Belém followed by an afternoon at Jardim Zoológico:

Looking forward to Cadiz tomorrow, my wife's favourite port (and one of mine too).

Cant add much to those great pictures.  IIRC we have only been twice.

Once on a land tour pre digital so no idea where pics are and once on a cruise. 

 Pictures are the usual stuff as we WON!  a ship excursion whilst onboard 

maybe a destinations quiz or something.

It was probably just as well as it absolutely poured down near the end. It was so bad

we stopped at the  Belem Tower and no-one wanted to get out!!  We did see some

places we would not otherwise have seen  eg the outside of a wooden greenhouse???

These pictures are from our 2013 Azura cruise, which called at Lisbon.

 

Ventura and Oriana were also in port on the same day.

 

we went to the Benfica football stadium

We have visited Sintra and Estoril and Cascais from Lisbon by train when in port which we have enjoyed

Great photos and after your photos and someone previously commenting on those custard tarts being particularly nice in Waitrose I have added 2 to next weeks shopping! (Would rather be eating them in Portugal)

I saw frozen “Portuguese Custard Tarts” in Tesco last week so got some for the freezer. They’re probably not that great but we’ll give them a go sometime.

I’ve also added some of those tarts to my Waitrose shopping basket for next week!

I love Cadiz, so much to explore in a small area and so many contrasts.  

[Dermotsgirl]

We went to Cadiz on the Britannia maiden in 2015. We were due to go there next month, which I had been looking forward to, as Cadiz is lovely.

Not easy this, will have to try and pick out a few odd ones from the many odd ones LOL

Love all these wonderful, bright pictures of Cadiz.  Such a bright spot.  It looks like lots of posters do a similar walk to us - through the gardens, listening to the parakeets, along the beach, stop to see how the seashore feral cats are doing, turn left by the cathedral and nab a couple of perches at the bar with the sherry barrel tables, for wine and tapas - and an hour of people watching.

Some of the things we’ve seen in Cadiz - 

 - an early morning dog walker with a squeezy water bottle which he used at every spot the dog cocked its leg.  What a good idea in a hot climate (good idea anywhere really).  We wondered if it was a local byelaw.

 - a busking acapella troupe from Canada doing BareNaked Ladies stuff, very well

 - a wedding party on the Town Hall balcony and the happy couple receiving cheers from everyone sitting at the cafes and passing through the square, as the bells rang out.  A gay wedding.  We were quite surprised at the time, for socially conservative, Catholic Spain

Sorry I’m going to go back to Lisbon as I haven’t been to Cadiz or Barcelona- should be on my next cruise!
