Flowers

I have now been back to Norman for a few days and had some time to reflect on my first three weeks in Portugal. There are a number of reasons for why these three weeks are very memorable and I will try to reflect on these wonderful memories in a few blogs.

My first post will focus on the beauty of the vegetation and in particular the flowers.  Each town we visited, I was impressed by how many flowers people have in their gardens and around their houses. The pictures speak for themselves:

A few images from Castelo de Vide:

These pictures were taken in the medieval  part of the city, which is surrounded by the old wall. The streets are very narrow and access is difficult and yet there are flowers everywhere.

A few images from Mavrao:

The castle in Mavrao and its garden is very unique and one of a kind.

Finally, a few images from Monsanto, a UNESOC World Heritage Site:

Very nice courtyards and streets:

 

 

Amazing roses:
