Thanks James :) There's also some other places.
For instance Ponta de Sagres, a mythological place where legend says there was a XVI century navigation school and cartography center coordinating all naval discoveries from that century.

Another situation where archaeology ruined a nice legend. But the place is nice.

btw, I never understood why there are not spanish Doors fans!

Anyone knows a single one? I don't.
We have lots of people from countries that talk castellano (some of them I would say are among the best contributors for this forum) but no one from Spain.

What's up with Spain? No les gusta los Doors? Las Puertas de la percepcion :lol:

And from what I can tell most of New Zealand! I swear I can not go to my music shop for months and none of the albums have moved. (they sell new and second hand albums)

Silver I am ashamed to admit that when I was in your part of the world (10 years ago!) I didn't make it to Portugal. I will next time, I promise and I'll shout you a beer. Great photos.
