Quinta de Picaria






After 22 days on the road, 10 different beds, 8 long distance train journeys, 5 different countries, hundreds of photos, lots of memories, and a few new friends, we are back home in Shipley (for a day!). Our last leg was a farmstay at a place called "Quinta de Picaria", near Porto, in Northern Portugal run by Maria, who spoke virtually no English. The place was beautiful, as was the surrounding countryisde. We loved the slower pace of Portugal after the intensity of most of the rest of the trip. It's cheap and the people are open and friendly, although most speak virtually no English. Here are a few photos of Quinta de Picaria.
