Olá! In this episode, I share with you one of the most famous and dramatic love stories in Portuguese history: the story of Pedro and Inês de Castro.

This is a tale of love, politics, betrayal, and tragedy that happened in the 14th century and that still shapes Portuguese culture and identity today. I take you back to medieval Portugal to discover how a forbidden romance turned into one of the greatest legends of the country.

📖 Here's the book I recommend - the historical novel Inês de Castro by Isabel Stilwell. You can find it ⁠here on Amazon⁠.
