Portugal, day 1: Lisboa (Piotr)

My first day in Lisbon (and Portugal), arrived by bus and plane via Berlin, got my Viva Viagem card loaded and traveled on red and green metro to my hostel at Rua da Palma, all very fast and efficient to give me enough time to visit a couple of sites. Lisbon is built on hills, some buildings are covered with tiles top to bottom and tourists are moved around by tram-loads.

Barcelona, day 4 (Piotr)

Today was the longest walk in Barcelona, very relaxing Saturday with many tourists and locals enjoying very nice weather and different street activities and performances.

Puppeteers near Arc de Triomf

Liked the long slow stroll along the beaches, Miro museum was the main highlight of the day for me, closed the day with the magic fountain show and late tapas dinner on the way to our AirBnB.
