Hello Jorge !

I'm really surprised for this information -never heard before of a white flowering of P. broteroi !
I know this plants from Spain - and I visit it on many locations - sometimes they have dark blotches ....but white  ???
If you ever have a picture : Muchos gracias !

Adios

Thank you very much for the wonderful photographs, Jorge. Obrigadíssima!!!

Last week I drove down to Lisbon for a short, much needed break. Racing past Serra de Aire on the motorway at midnight I thought of these photos!

I must admit, geography is not my strong point, so I had to check a map to find out where the Serra de Aire lies... I was interested to see that it would be possible to make a north-south trip, starting with a visit to Chloë, on to Coimbra to see Joachim (or his in-laws, if he is in Sweden at the time!) and then to the beautiful Serra de Aire .... then I favour a tootle across to Spain to vist Rafa......what a wonderful trip it could be! Now, I don't care for "holidays" so this will need to be an extended period of travelling.....I prefer to spend at least a couple of years in an area to get to know it properly...so it will be at least eight years before I am able to plan a route around Austria to see the forumists there....perhaps I had better just stay here and revel in the photographs !

Jorge, you are giving us many good reasons to visit Portugal. I hope I can do that some day.

Jorge
Now You told the people here about Batalha. I pretended it was the small church at our estate and there was no comments to that so I do not know if people knew it was a joke or did not get it.
It is great rock material but after viewing the destrction on the toombs in Alcbaca I would have liked it to be harder so that vandals would have to work harder do decapitate sculptures. Maybe it would not be possible to make that elaborate sculptures as they have done with a harder stone? The monuments have great stone works made by master carftsmen and even if they would not be in such lovely surroundings (the monuments it self) they would be close to a world herritage. Portugal is small so it is truly well spent time to take a few days to drive arround instead of spending all the time in Algarve as so many tourist do. There are always a beach close by in Portugal so You would have it all.

I am looking forward in coming back to Portugal again to see all the nice places Jorge show us.

Kind regards

Joakim

Joakim, I must apologise for not getting your joke!  Perhaps you thought it better to keep Batalha more private from many tourists?!! Are you in Lund now? Has Rafael been born in Sweden?

Maggi most answers in the new post in the introduction thread but here is the "joke"
http://www.srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=371.msg9890#msg9890
For any one interested to see that again.
I am more or less implying that many of the Portuguese famous places are part of my private gardens. If people did not see it it must have been since it is not that funny  ;D.

Kind regards
Joakim presently in Lund

Joakim
you must be developing a Portuguese sense of humour as it's the sort of thing my dad would say! I think I remember seeing the "garden Chapel" and thought , "yes, just like our family chapel in Goa!"
cheers
