I like tight streets because they make the exhaust sound sooo good!

Watching your video I am reminded of a macro economics class at business school many years ago. The EU will never work he said. He went on to say, take Portugal for example, they have this "south the snow line mentality". Rather than meet currency convergence criteria they'd rather rest for 3 or 4 hours in the afternoon, gorge on wonderful fish and drink copious amounts of superb red wines. Looking at your terrific video, he was right. The sunshine, silence and total lack of activity tends to suggest that the Portugese have their focus in the right areas. That is except for one elderly gentleman. Notwithstanding the fact that the streets were totally deserted, he had the energy to wave you through the t-junction. What a truly wonderful country.

Life in the cities is so much more crowded and stressed. The further you go inside the country, you will see less and less people, and their life there is more relaxed and filled with beautiful views. It's definitely nice to see motovloggers from other countries here.

It is indeed a beautiful country. It is blessed with highly intelligent and gifted people as history records. The culture, climate and foods are a wonder to behold.
