Linda Toolsema has been in Portugal twice, once in Madeira, where she enjoyed the Levada walks, and then in Porto, where she explored the city and got to know the port wine cellars.

For Linda, Alentejo has everything that you might want in terms of hiking: the landscape, fields dotted with little wild flowers, small streams, peaceful scenery, beaches with impressive cliffs and, on some trails, an unbroken view over the sea. They got to know restaurants that were unpretentious and simple, but where they were able to enjoy the tasty local cuisine. She has good memories of the Portuguese, was charmed by the places she visited and by the friendliness and openness of the people.
