Title: Winter in Portugal

Summary of Episode

What have we been doing this winter? Hibernating! We traveled extensively during November and December and needed some well-deserved time off. 

But winter is a great time to travel in Portugal. The weather can be rainy but can also be lovely! Museums are open, wine tasting is great and the beaches are lovely–just cold.

Living in Portugal during the winter is quite nice too! We have enjoyed our two winters here even though it’s been rainy. But let us tell you what it is really like…
