He shows the mindset of a friend from abroad, who's eager to discover the country as it really is. My experience: wherever I went, I set up my mind like that. I've received the appreciation of a guest from the vast majority of the people I met. I don't behave like an ignorant tourist, so I'm not being treated like one, either.

Sure is! It's astounding how much is packed into such a small country

"Ever since I've arrived here, my Portuguese friends told me..." is what makes the difference between a tourist and a visitor. While the tourists stay in their resort with fellow citizens, familiar food and guided tours, visitors come in respect & appreciation, make new friends- and learn to know the really amazing places.

Dave, that was an incredible video. As an American, living in Europe, I really appreciate it. I am really considering retiring in Portugal and you really hit some great places, of which I was unaware. I must also compliment you on your Portuguese pronunciations as they seem quite good. It is an educational opportunity for English speakers to learn the proper way of speaking the language rather than bastardizing it into an English way. When you move to a country, you should adapt. Thanks again.

I must mention that português people are very kind to us, foreigners, cause they bothered to learn English, which is second language for almost all people in the world. In Spain, France and Italy almost no one gives a damn about English 😅

We were in Portugal a few weeks back. Batalha and Tomar ( husband 's family home town) were 2 stops we made and I can say were absolutely stunning. I love the regional towns so much.

i AGREE WITH YOU DAVE...PORTO is my new sweet spot in the world! I live in beautiful Maui, and we have a very large Portuguese population here on the islands... after visiting Madeira and Azores for the first time, I understand why the Portuguese fell in love with our beloved Hawaiian islands. Truly, Portugal is the paradise of the Atlantic! Obrigado for your fantastic video and Mahalo for the island of Maui... come visit soon, Dave, Mai Tais on the beach on me! Saude!

The way you pronounced "Aljubarrota" was indicating of how hard you tried to say it right. And I appreciate how hard that word can be to pronounce correctly to an American. As a Portuguese, I have to congratulate you on both the effort put in learning Portuguese as well as making an effort towards having a very good pronunciation. Also, awesome video you put up here. It is amazing how a small country (geographically speaking) like Portugal has so much to offer and it can vary so much between east, west, north and south. Stay safe and keep making this awesome content.

Man, at the first minutes, if i didn't knew it was a Dave in Portugal video, i thought i was watching some top notch BBC Our World content. You're delivering top quality content in here 👌. From video capture, sound design to each region, and your portuguese keeping better and better, i dunno which one i should say you improved the most. Big congrats and thank you for letting us being a little bit more proud of this little corner of the world. 🇵🇹❤️

Most excellent video! I typically watch KZread on TV with no way to leave comments. Had to hop on my phone to say, “THANKS for including parts of Portugal that are not typically found on KZread!” Love your channel, man! I’m from the Pacific Northwest and while most travelers / expats are looking at southern PT, I’m interested in the NORTHERN region. Would love to see more on that if you are so inclined. Thanks again!!!

Thanks for the comment! I love the North as well and will certainly doing more videos soon!

Just for the people that think Douro river crosses Porto... The actual city is just on the north bank of Douro. On the south one, it's Gaia... another beautiful city. Currently, there are six bridges connecting the two cities. In fact, Porto and Gaia are the two European cities with the most bridges (since they share them). Also... Porto is the city that named Portugal and is also known as Invicta (which means "invincible").

For anyone considering coming to live here, as a Portuguese, I ask please that you look at the costs and prices of things versus our average salary...and then not accept absurd rents that make it impossible to find a place to live on an average income. Please please please ❤ and thank you. Dave, brilliant video, excellent prononciation and I think you've earned your "Tuga" badge! One of us, one of us!

I'm from Portugal and have been there many times, but this year was the first time I actually got to see some of the country outside of Lisbon. I have to say that one of the coolest things I saw, that I really wasn't expecting, was the view from the rooftop of Santa Luzia in Viana Do Castelo. Even climbing the staircase was an experience. I didn't get to see the Celtic ruins nearby, but I bet there's something interesting there too.

I am portuguese and after graduating from college in Portugal I went for a Ph.D. in an american University. I went in September 1972 and I returned in February 1991. In fact I not only studied there but I also taught. I enjoyed my stay, I had the opportunity to travel in the US, Canada and Mexico from North to South and from the Atlantic to the Pacific.What a joy! What a privilege!

Thank you Dave for putting together such inspiring video about Portugal 🇵🇹 ! However, I couldn't help but notice a few gems that weren't mentioned. In the Algarve, towns like Tavira, known for its 30+ churches, and Olhão, the cubist town of Moorish flat roofs, are truly remarkable. Not to forget Vila Real de Santo António, a testament to the importance of pombaline urbanism, and Mértola, a medieval Moorish village overlooking the Guadiana. I could venture north and enumerate the many charming fortified, walled and white-washed towns of Alentejo, like Évora or Monsaraz, even further to the Beiras, where you'd discover Coimbra, with its ancient university, palaces and rich history. However, I'll leave this for you to discover. I hope this holds as an invitation for you to explore the rich landscape and many of the other unknown historical sites of Portugal. Thank you once again for showcasing Portugal's beauty! All the best

Excellent video. Your appreciation for what PT has to offer is very well done. 😊

Thanks Dave that was really lovely. Portugal is an beautiful country with some awesome scenery and right now I am privileged to call her home! Viva Portugal!

Hey! Agree. Does anyone know the name of the Arabic influence villa featured?

Spend a few days in Marvao and second everything you said. It‘s one of the most amazing panoramas in the area. Unfortunately, there isn‘t much left of the original village life on the other hand it feels much more authentic than Obidos. Worth mentioning to take a day trip to see the breathtaking „Forte de Graça“ near Elvas.

And thank you for talking about the first point of the Azores, it is truly a paradise, I wasn't born there but I loved visiting it, it is truly a paradise... Congratulations on your work

Very beautiful video. Very nice done. Dave, come visit Azeitão, it is on the Setúbal peninsula and is an area worth visiting, not only for the natural beauty of Serra da Arrábida, monuments and cultural history but also for the wines, sweets and cheeses. Did you know that we still have olive trees from Phoenician times?... yes, olive trees that are over 2000 years old... Cheers

Excellent video that shows exactly the geographical and cultural diversity Portugal as to offer. There is still a lot more to see. Missing out on Coimbra is almost a sin 😁. Great work! Keep it up.

Excellent cinematography. Like the direction of your channel.

We just returned from 3 weeks in Portugal touring all over the countyside. I have to agree Marvao was beautiful. We stayed in the town overnight & it was a magnificent sunset. I had my best night's sleep of the entire trip in a tiny little hotel there snug inside the stone walls. Portugal was beautiful and the people were wonderful. I can't wait to go back! Your videos were very helpful in our trip planning and how we used our time while there. Thank you!!

beautiful video... thank you for loving Portugal as much as we do... your soul is Portuguese... 😄

Yo Dave, made it to Portugal, nice, thank you and thank you Portugal for having me!

Amazing video Dave! I’m glad u enjoying my beautiful country. I lived there 30 years of my life and now I’m in the freezing cold Toronto, maybe some day I’ll be back but for now just some vacay here and there

Living in Madeira, awesome video ! Your production is like documentary level, very nice Dave !

Another great video! I loved Porto as well and the people there are amazing. I would not want to be there in the winter. I love that you went to Tomar. The day we got to Tomar, the weather was so foul that we could not really see anything and the castles was surrounded in scaffolding and tarps. It was disappointing but we left and went to Obidos which I LOVED! I'm coming back in 2024 to explore more before making my decision to move. I think I want to be down in the Algarve where it's warmer so maybe Loule or Silves since it's gotten so expensive to be on the ocean. Of course, I could end up in Faro as a couple of my friends have just done. Either way, you have given me some new places to explore. Thank you for that.
