Sad and beauty Portugal
This country is not for active recreation. Everything here is focused on serenity and tranquility. Time seems to specifically stop its run, giving focus on the amazing beauty of Portugal.To enjoy the beauty and splendor of the country, it is better to abandon the guided tour and go to independent travel. Especially those that do not become a problem of language barrier. Here is the official Portuguese (indigenous people make up 99 percent of the population), but run as Spanish and English. In the extreme case of contact with the local can "adjust" the good old body language.
In medieval Portugal was the leading maritime power in Europe, primarily due to the great navigator Bartholomew Diaz, Vasco da Gama, who first paved the way to the sea shores of Africa and Asia, where the Portuguese colony of a hundred times superior to the territory of a small country. Thanks Ocean Portugal was in the XVI century, the great colonial power, and now, although it is considered a province of Europe, became a well-developed tourist country.
If on the one hand Portugal borders with Europe, then the other rests on the majestic Atlantic Ocean. As if trying to capture in his arms and scattered over many miles ahead havens sushi - the head of the Azores with Madeira, the island of eternal spring. This year round reigns velvet season. The oceans are no oppressive summer heat and winter cold.
Portugal - incredible country! Tell all of its attractions is impossible. Here in the museum some villages with a population of thirty persons may be paintings by Picasso and Dali, and the house where in the XVI century, Magellan was born, not even pointing signs - in this house lived the ordinary peasants ...
Portuguese Moscow In the seven hills, terraced down to the river Tagus, Lisbon is spread - the capital of Portugal. On the set of steep stairs, cable cars and viewing platforms spectacular views of the old quarters, the statue of Christ, welcoming gesture of the hand has spread, the fortress city of the patron St. George Church, which blessed the medieval explorers, discoverers.
Under the old quarter of Alfama can wander for hours, admiring the unique, peculiar to Portugal, the manner of decorations of buildings. Elevations of almost all the houses are laid with ceramic tiles painted azuleyzhu. Reminiscent of its blue-white, polished stones, decorate and simple homes, making them works of art. A part of Portugal is in Moscow - Lisbon municipality has presented Russia's capital for 850 years of azuleyzhu tiles that adorn the new entrance to the underground station "Belarus".
Portuguese themselves more like an old yellow tram, which is worn dashingly the steep streets of Lisbon. "Dog cells", as locals call it, on his way route to stop several times not to disembark passengers - in some places the old streets are so narrow that the driver of the van asks Lisbon housekeepers to close the windows of houses or remove hanging clothes.
In light of the sun in Lisbon, there is something naive Theater, captivating and magical. But at night it turns into a vague tale of a city that has all its terraces and the lights down to the sea, like a festively dressed as a woman, bending over her lover drowning in the darkness - the realm comes the sad and beautiful fado. Dramatic and romantic, but always with a dash of melancholy lyrical quatrains under twelve string guitar became a symbol of Portuguese culture. Fado pouring from the open doors of small restaurants and bars where so nice to enjoy the exciting soul singing. It does not matter that performed only in Portuguese fado, you will be bewitched melody and voice, but this shot of port wine, a mandatory offer "under the fado", will help to better understand the melancholic nature of the Portuguese.
