A week ago, one of my good friends, asked me and a bunch of friends if we wanted to go to her hometown. She lives in Seia, Portugal which stands near a mountain, as many may know it: Serra da Estrela.
A little history behind this little adventure we had.
We were set to live Coimbra, where we study, an make road by 10:30 a.m, but as we know, we left late, by 11:30 a.m we were on our way. We divided ourselfs between two cars, ours was the one with the most fun of course, we sang all the way there. Took us one hour and a half, through rain and fog to get there, but all was good when we arrived and had a delicious meal waiting for us.
There's a little village near Seia called Travancinha, our first stop. A few people share the same birthday date and every year around this time, they do a get together with friends and family.
The place was really good and pretty.
After we sang Happy Birthday we wanted to go on a walk, but the time wasn't on our side so we hopped on three cars and went on our way to place called Chão do Rio.
This place is magical, and none of my photos make justice to it. You'll find rare flowers, a flock of sheep, houses of stones and thatched roofs and a natural pool. I don't think that I can explain it, you really have to see it to believe it.
If you follow this link you can always reserve one night or maybe two to know the area and see it for yourself, as we did.
After that we went to my friend's place and then to a little coffee in town. The idea was to watch a movie before bed, but we were all shattered and we had a long day ahead the next morning, the mountains were waiting for us.
I see you tomorrow for day two, x
