After moving to Portugal 11 years ago, the author fell in love with both the country and Rafael, a local tour guide. Their adventures revealed hidden gems like Monsanto and Tomar while highlighting unique historical sites like the Panólicas Sanctuary. The author reflects on the magic of found places and experiences that go beyond typical tourist destinations. Their travels, characterized by a love for unusual and eerie locations, offer a personal perspective that celebrates both the romance of travel and the depths of history in Portugal.
