Portugal

Portugal is one of my obsession. The literature, movies, legends and its cities, have a magic unusual, very different to other places in the world. My interest for that country began with a movie's maker called Manoel de  Oliveira, an amazing artist, his films are beautiful and to describe with the camera the street and avenue of Lisboa, Oporto or Coimbra. Also, is interesting to know Manoel de Oliveira is the oldest movie's maker with live in the world (he have 104 years).
But go back to Portugal, others things I love of this country is, first, the incredible architecture. The street in the most important cities have a unavoidable characteristic of the baroque, for example: in the walls, gantry and roof. And the other thing is the literature, with names like Camilo Castelo Branco, Eza de Queiros or Fernando Pessoa, they were chroniclers of their time. Two short stories of Queiros are my favourite, "The crime of priest Amaro" and "Singularities of the blonde girl", absolutely recommend.
In my future travel for Portugal, I will walk for all street and will visit little towns, remote of the cities. I have heard the food and wines are awesome, and finally the people of portugal have good reputation.
I travel or live in portugal, is a fact that the education in this country isn't very good. And the things I want know in Portugal, are different.

I need travel very soon!!!
