Sim, sim! Finalmente, depois de alguns meses de ansiedade disfarçada, cheguei a Portugal. E é lindo! Lisboa é encantadora. Cheia de ruazinhas estreitas, bem arborizada, com casas e construções antigas mas bem preservadas e realmente charmosa! Adorei.... Read more >

Sobe ladeira, desce ladeira. Uma escadaria de 50 degraus, 100 metros de rua e mais outra escada. E muitas igrejas e construções antigas. Mas acima de tudo, uma cidade inteira voltada para uma Universidade. Em todos os cantos de Coimbra se encontram casas, ... Read more >
