03 - Portugal

du 3 decembre 2007 au 8 janvier 2008

37 jours passes au Portugal qui m ont enchante.
Pays tres differents de son voisin espagnol de par ses habitants plus calmes, d un paysage different, beaucoup de chene-liege, d oliviers, d orangers et mandariniers, et un climat plus doux.
Longer la c�te Atlantique aura ete un vrai plaisir ; petites routes et chemins tres agreables et tres peu frequentes, avec de multiples et splendides falaises et criques bien souvent envahis par les surfeurs venus de tous pays.
J ai adore Lisbonne, capitale du pays, la ville aux sept collines.
Le pouvoir d achat de ce pays m a beaucoup surpris ; des salaires tres bas (salaire minimum a 400 euros) pour des produits de consommation courante bien eleves a proportion ?
Ne parlant pas un mot de portugais, la langue n aura pas ete un probleme.

37 days spent to Portugal which enchanted me.
Countries very different from its Spanish neighbour from his calmer inhabitants, of a different landscape, much of cork oak, olive-trees, orange trees and mandarin trees, and a climate softer.
To skirt the Atlantique coast will have been a true pleasure; minor roads and very pleasant ways and very little attended, with multiples and splendid cliffs and splits very often invaded by the surfers come from all countries.
I adored Lisbon, capital of this country, the city with the seven hills.
The purchasing power of this country has me much surprised; very low wages (minimum wage with 400 euros) for quite high products for current human consumption to proportion?
Not speaking a word about Portuguese, the language will not have been a problem.
