Today I attended a really interesting event, here in Cluj. It was called “Casa Portuguesa” and it was a more or less like an exhibition but more interactive.
You could learn about their history, listen to some traditional Fado music, taste some traditional Portuguese dishes and interact with the organizers of the event who were obviously Portuguese.
My favorite thing at the event were this really cute paper-made roses who had quotes (by Portuguese writers, of course) attached to them. The one I felt I had a connection with was: “We leave a little piece of us behind whenever we leave a place. We are still there although we left.” – Vergilio Ferreira
Have you ever been to Portugal?

Looks like a very interesting exhibition! I’ve been to Portugal twice. To Cascais (http://traveluxblog.com/cascais/), Lisbon and Porto (http://traveluxblog.com/porto/). I feel like Portugal has a hell lot to offer. Definitely one of the most interesting countries in Europe when it comes to culture and history!

Hahaha, I always want to travel. No matter what the destination. But for Portugal I would love to visit Lisbon, Porto, and Sintra. Or go diving around the Azores Islands.

I have a Portuguese friend from Porto, working in Nazare and he sends me pictures from outside his work of the sea and I get jealous aha but I think I am going to fall in love with exploring Portugal. I also want to visit the Portuguese island Madeira. Looks stunning.

When I’ve been to Portugal I was really young and I can barely remember anything, that’s why I want to go back… I’ve seen some pictures and videos from Porto and it seems beautiful.

It’s like I was really young when I went to Bulgaria and Greece so I’d love to rediscover from a different age
