Beautiful Setúbal! How we love this city ❤🇵🇹 In case you haven't seen it yet, check out our first Impressions video: czcams.com/video/VB99avYnKpg/video.html
Thanks for sharing. The castle looked so beautiful and a brilliant explore. I love it when the clouds settle lower than where you are, so stunning. I love the Portuguese tiles so found the chapel so beautiful. Have a brilliant week. 🍻
Glad you enjoyed this place. We absolutely love the tiles here. The mist gives it an amazing atmosphere too. I can imagine the soldiers standing there 500 years ago staring through the mist looking for incoming ships! 😊 Thanks for watching 🙏😊 ~ Lee
Wow! This place is spectacular! That blue and white tile was freaking beautiful! We loved our stay in a Posada in Faro last December, this one so beautiful as well. So much still for us to see in Portugal. Thank you so much for this tour. Such a beautiful video. Love you guys, Debbie & Stijn
Thanks guys. It really is a spectacular place in an awesome location. Would be amazing to stay there. We'd love to visit you and sit on that terrace together supping a few vinhos. 😁🍷 Hopefully one day. 😊 😍
Setúbal, southern city! Sun, sea and sand! Moscatel wine, Cake/ torta de Azeitão, cheese/queijo de Azeitão, bread/pão alentejano, etc delicacies! Beautiful beachs, bay and Park of Arrábida!Dolphins! Portugal ' s south in his best!
So many wonderful things about this area! 😁. We stayed for 2 weeks and still didn't see everything. We need to return for more! 👍 Queijo de Azeitão! Mmmmm... That sounds saboroso 😋😋😋 ~ Lee
We first heard it in Caldas da Rainha at 1pm, then in Óbidos at 12noon. Certain cities/towns have the siren, others don't, and we're not sure why that is. I'm hoping a Portuguese viewer will be able to explain 😃😁 ~ Mandy
It’s great to go there walking, I’ve never seen it with the mist, it’s also interesting to see it this way. I love how Lee had the power to clear the mist 🌫 😍.
Yes it really is a wonderful place to go in the afternoon once the morning mist has cleared. Then you can be up there in time for a sundowner with that amazing view! 😁🍷 This must be the best spot in Setúbal. 😊 ~ Lee
That's great that you will be visiting Lisbon and Porto. Such fantastic cities with so much to see and do. Hope you have a wonderful time. Thanks for watching 🙏 😊👍 ~ Lee
Pauli, here in Setubal now. It's really growing on me, having a hard time deciding whether to go back to Lisbon for the next few days before heading north to Porto, or staying a few more days in Setubal. As usual I watched your videos again and again for inspiration, ideas, and very useful information! I admire you both so much 🥰
Hello PAULS! It's always wonderful to hear from you! We love Setúbal, and I would go back in a flash! Fun fact... we were on a podcast, and the host had found us through our Setúbal videos as he was planning to move there from the US... so we have even more reasons to love this amazing city! ~ Mandy
@@FrugalTravellers Oh wow, that's so wonderful! Our list of cities to visit just in Portugal keeps growing! You're both so lucky to be able to move about at any time #goals 😊
@@rollingwiththepauls Yes, Portugal is absolutely amazing, and there are so many more incredible places for us to visit! We are fortunate indeed to be in this beautiful country, and to be able to share it with you guys! 😃😁 ~ Mandy
@@PlanetImo It'll become more and more obvious who's made a video, as Lee's will be full of tricks and fancy editing, whereas mine will be very simple but will be MIO... Maximum Information Overload 🤣😁😃 ~ Mandy
What an amazing sight with all the mist in the air. It’s like you above the clouds. The shape of the building is also interesting. It would be very cool to fly a drone there with everything going on.
We checked out some other videos before we went and the drone shots were spectacular. It's places like this that make you think it would be awesome to carry one. 👍 ~ Lee
There´s this famous restaurant in Setúbal, its been years since been last, a bit expensive when compared to some others but well worth the visit, its called "Retiro da Algodeia", also it might be worthwhile visiting the somewhat nearby place of Carrasqueira (high tide) and also the Troia sandy Sado river peninsula.
Thank you so much for the great advice and information. We have left Setúbal now but intend to return as we loved it there. When we do we will seek out these places. We filmed more videos there which we will be posting next. 👍😊 - Lee
Great vid and editing 😎👍 had to laugh taking picture of picture of 🐬🐬 I have seen on more than 1 occasion tourist taking postcards out of a card rack and taking snaps of them , couldn’t make it up …
Thank you so much. 👍 On so many occasions I've been disappointed with my dolphin photos whilst on these kind of sea safaris. They must be one of the hardest creatures to capture because they won't keep still. 🤣🤣. I usually get the tip of a fin peeking up from behind a wave from far, far away. I could do with investing in a better camera. 😂 ~ Lee
Hello there, If you haven't yet done so and because you are so close consider a trip to Christ the King (Almada) for some great views of the Tagus bridge and the city of Lisbon as well. Have fun!
Hi Fernando. Thanks for watching and the great tips! We made a lot of videos of the time we were in Lisbon. You should be able to find them in our Portugal playlist. This is the link to the Christ the King video we made: czcams.com/video/hXNgsB6u3X0/video.html You are so right that it has some of the best veiws of Lisbon from across the Tagus. 👍 - Lee
Mandy & Lee Just want to let you know we’re loving all your Portugal vids🇵🇹 over here in freezing Scotland 🏴 Other half and I having been saving hard to do very similar to yourselves, scary giving up our forever jobs etc but hoping to be there next year! Your vid are so inspiring to us and we save them to watch over breakfast together 😀 Can I ask how you can stay there so long or did you have to pop out the Schengen area and come back in? Thank you 🙏
Hi there. Thanks for your kind words and really glad we are helping to inspire you. Portugal is marvelous and we're sure you'll have no regrets once you get here. It's always a bit daunting to take the plunge and Jack it all in but we can seriously say after doing the same after 4 years on the road that we have no regrets. We were fortunate that because we arrived here before 31 Dec 2020 we were able to apply for residency under the Brexit withdrawal agreement. There are other ways of getting residency though. We wish you all the best with your plans. 👍 ~ Lee
Thank you Wilma for the kind comment. We are loving Portugal and will be staying around while we are applying for residency here. Not sure how long that will take but it's a great opportunity to explore this amazing country. Hope you get back soon. 👍 ~ Lee
That is so lovely of her! We've noticed a few times in Portugal that locals ensure that street cats are fed. One of these was a cliff cat in the Algarve! ~ Mandy
Thanks guys, really enjoyed the video of the fortress, didn't make it up there when we visited. Omg how cheap were the drinks in that location, love Portugal. Missed your theme music at the beginning of video, was happy to hear it at the end.
Thank you Cindy. Portugal is such good value for money and that cafe was amazing for the location! We've mixed it up a bit with the music lately but will still be using that lovely theme tune occasionally. 😁 Thanks for watching 🙏 ~ Lee
Thank you for the amazing video. I have to go back to Forte de São Filipe (I think I only went there many years ago). If you are still in Setúbal, I stongly advice you to visit Convento de Jesus, that was the first manueline monument built in Portugal in the XV century with Arrabida rocks (brecha da Arrábida).
Thank you, Luís. We did pay a visit to the amazing Convento de Jesus and will show it in one of our next videos coming. Setúbal is just full of great places to visit! 😊 ~ Lee
@@FrugalTravellers I think you can visit the convent church for free. The convent was opened to public visit last year in 2020, after a long working period.
@@LuisSantos-us1ww Yes we went inside the convent for free. It's beautiful inside! There is a charge to go inside the museum part though. The exterior of the building is magnificent! 👍
Hi guys hope you are well. We really enjoy watching your portugal video's and noticed in a porto video you mentioned about residency in portugal. How would you guys go about that post brexit? Or do you already have a 5 years residency certificate issued pre brexit. Sorry if that's intrusive. Before brexit and the obvious devastating pandemic we were considering a move to portugal but it seems next to impossible now as brits. Keep up the good work guys.
Hello Craig. Thank you for your kind words and your question. We've applied for residency under the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement, and are still waiting to have that approved. There are many different visa options, with the easiest being the D7. We belong to a few Facebook groups and find the British Expats in Portugal group to have some excellent resources, with knowledgeable folk who are happy to share information. Portugal is a wonderful country and we can totally understand why you'd be thinking of moving here! 😃😁🇵🇹~ Mandy
@@FrugalTravellers Hi guys thank you for your reply. I admire you both, for what you do and the courage to get up and go to Portugal like you have and make it work. I hope you get your certificates of residency ASAP you deserve it guys. 👏 keep up the video's its an inspiration.
Hi..friends.. Love you .very beautiful place.... I wholeheartedly pray to God.that.. You both are blessed with good health happiness and prosperity.. Iam BiG fan of you both ..have a good night..

I never ever heard that siren thing before - that's a new one on me!
It had us wondering at first but we got used to it after a while.

Thank you Stephen. The Portuguese coastline is steeped in fascinating history. You'd love it here. The tiles in the chapel all tell a tale. 😊👍 ~ Lee
Very beautiful castle old
It really is, and in an amazing location. Thanks 🙏
