    It's actually al-Gharb. You passed by Pedras d'El Rei means the stones of the king. This is the edge of the roman city of Balsa abandoned a long time ago. When they built the touristic complex they used dynamite to blow up the "stones" which where actually roman ruins. From there all the way to Torre d'Aires you have only ruins of Balsa. They are now (finally) being studied by Archaeologists. When I lived in Portugal it was completely forgotten so I started an awareness campaign on Facebook which led it to finally being protected and studied starting in 2015 if I'm not mistaken. :)

I notice your panniers because they look almost like my Rhino Walk panniers I ordered a few years ago from Ali Express, love them, waterproof too. Wish I had those when I was a messenger 35 years ago! They get mad when things get wet, yet call for a bike messenger to save money. Nice ride, thanks for shearing the video. Thank your riding companion should you see her again, just they kind of person you want to meet when traveling and cycling!

    Well, that was quite a treat on this grey and gloomy morning! 😊 Was that a Cube gravel bike you got yourself? I was looking at those, too, specifically because of their rack option plus affordable price ranges. 😂 In the end I got impatient searching for a small frame though and when I stumbled upon a used road bike close by I went for that instead so tarmac instead of gravel it is.

    I have a Cube hybrid travel bike. It has an integrated rack, mudguard and lighting which I am not keen on. Much prefer them to be separate. Apart from that the bike is ok. The frames are good though, strong and stiff, although give a surprisingly compliant ride.

I'm still in the earliest stage of learning the language, but I've noticed that you have a particular way of speaking that I haven't heard in other Portuguese. I know it's very personal and it's not your usual topic, but I'm so curious that I can't help asking. And I'll still be a fan if you decline to answer. :)
