This is a photo from a previous trip my huband and I took a few years ago. Our neighbor just went to Portugal, and I couldn't stop raving about how she is going to LOVE Portugal. It is such a great country. The people were friendly and the culture was familiar and yet so unique! If you are wondering where to go on your next trip, go to Lisbon and then the Algarve coast (southern portion of Portugal.)

This could be a door in any city in Europe. It is in fact, Tavira, Portugal which is known for its colorful facades and tile work. This has the door and windows framed in marble. Notice the electrical wires and details in the door, as well as the design in the street paving stones, very common throughout Portugal.
