This trip was a continuous discovery. A discovery of a land rich of wonderful places, charming towns and breathtaking views. A dicovery of its hystory, made of kings and powerful knights. But, above all, it was a trip on the border, as the ones I like most, on a land where Europe ends and the ocean starts. With the works of Saramago in one hand, the poetry by Pessoa playing in mind, with all the literature suggestions, I learnt day by day the feeling of 'saudade', and I let the soul be driven by the mysterious notes of fado's tradition.
