Thanks to ContraFactos & Argumentos I found this interesting article from the New York Times about the portuguese writer Fernando Pessoa, how portuguese people see themselves and how they are seen by others.

Article: Portugal Holds on to Words Few Can Grasp

Today I remembered this song and video from the portuguese band Repórter Estrábico.

O Retábulo das Maravilhas

Last year I went from my hometown, Castelo Branco, to Porto by bike through beautiful landscapes in forgotten paths in the mountains. In the end there was 350Km and lot of good moments to remember. Thanks one friend that shared the trip, Henrique, there videos and a big amount of pictures! This is one of the videos that will live with me together with the memories! Deep thanks to Nelson and Henrique! Bem-hajam! :-)
