Driving takes around 2h.
The bus takes 2h/2:30h ( https://rede-expressos.pt/ or https://global.flixbus.com/ )

Im too tired to elaborate after walking 20KM and climbing 2 mountains today but this just happened: The 'hospitalero' just made a joke at the bar towards me about what to do with my dead body if I...

Could anyone tell me what these flowers are? They seem to be not quite lupin, not quite hollyhock, not quite foxglove! They were flowering in April - these particular ones were after Agés and...
