Especially on vacation, many wish to stop not only the time, but also the racing pulse of e-mails, messengers and social media. Our author Ina tells how she managed to do this on the Portuguese Way of St. James - without completely forsaking the practical aspects of the World Wide Web. I lie sleepless in...
The so-called Tiny House Movement advertises life in small houses and sees itself as a protest movement on increasing material prosperity. Because, like cars, homes are increasingly being viewed as a status symbol, with the following rule: the bigger, the better. The size of newly built single-family homes increased in some industrialized nations, although the number ...
A favorite recipe of Joke and Peter, hosts of Portugal Nature Lodge Admittedly, this is not a typical Portuguese dish, but this African peanut stew goes well with our safari and lodge tents (... and also tastes good in the yurt!).

Riding up the muddy road on a bike was more difficult than expected. But it's worth it, because the lush green of the garden shines through the gate. I'm visiting Peter and ...
A guest contribution by Carolin Frühauf As we drive up the hill by car, a little paradise opens up in front of us. There are artistically painted campervans everywhere, with license plates from Belgium, Germany, France, Italy or Spain.

A guest contribution by Carolin Frühauf The small streets of São Luís in southwest Portugal are still full of life when we visit the small town hall on Friday evening.
