Belem, Portugal and Pasteis de Belem
Belem…another essential destination to visit when in Lisbon – for more reasons than one. One great reason is the beauty. The setting was unbelievable. First up – Belém Tower, one of Portugal’s iconic treasures, dating back hundreds of years to the early 1500s.

This area has a lot of raw, untamed beauty, with craggy cliffs plunging into the ocean, rocks and wild grass swaying in the wind, and incredibly beautiful views in all directions. This is for sure a nature lover’s paradise!… Read More
