Hi!
My name is Cátia and I’m here to show you that Portugal is more than Lisbon.
Portugal is small in size but big in history! We have a rich culture and landscapes way beyond sun, sea and sand – this diversity has amazed me since I was a kid going on vacation with my parents.
Perhaps Portugal is part of your travel plans or maybe you find yourself daydreaming of making the move to this corner of Europe. Either way there’s a world of information to explore, which includes Portuguese language and all the little big quirks that can be expected when visiting or living in the country. Shall we explore them together?
tl;dr? I write about Portugal. *** Regular contributor to the Good Morning Portugal show with Carl Munson and to Live and Invest Overseas. *** Meme collector.
Beyond Lisbon 
I have always wanted to travel to Portugal. I shall enjoy following your blog.
Thanks! Hope you stick around 🙂
Getting better and better with each new entry…
Thanks for visitng my blog. Obrigada, I have been to Lisboa y alrededores.I particularly enjoyed the part you already have in your gravatar pic!
Thanks! The photo in my gravatar is of the Sintra Castle 🙂
I know, been there 🙂 It’s Castelo dos Mouros, also seen Palacio Pena really like them both 🙂
Nice reading about you.

Thanks for visiting my blog. Portugal is on my wish list – looks beautiful.
It is beautiful! 😀
What a lovely blog you have. I love looking at Portugal through your eyes, and have awarded you with the Very Inspiring Blogger Award, which is a simple, fun way of building community: http://dreaminginarabic.wordpress.com/2013/05/10/a-great-way-to-build-community/
Thank you for your lovely comment and the nomination 😀 However, I was already awarded with the Very Inspiring Blogger Award some time ago, so I guess I’ll skip it!
Wonderful! That means that your blog gets noticed, which is always rewarding. Happy blogging. 🙂
Hey, I try! 😀 Happy blogging, too!
Love Portugal, but for me it would be “Beyond the Algarve” and I would have to include Lisboa. So many places to see. Love Monsaraz and many of the Alentejo marble towns. So many top places. Thanks for sharing MM 📷
I know what you mean, but the fact is that the Algarve is more than just one long beach on the South coast – which is why this blog isn’t called ‘Beyond Algarve’ 😉
And don’t get me wrong: I love Lisbon! I just want to share what’s *beyond* it because so many people focus on Lisbon alone – and even then they don’t properly explore the city. I like to think of myself as some sort of masked blogging avenger. Ah!
Thanks for stopping by! 🙂
Thanks for the follow, I just hope that you don’t show too many photos of what I might have missed in my times in Portugal. MM 🌳
You’re welcome! And that is exactly what I intend to do on the blog. I’m evil like that! Muahahahahah!

Beautiful Blog.
Thanks a lot for taking us beyond Lisbon and hope to see more of Portugal through your posts.

I just moved to Lisbon and love it (while also being entirely aware of how interesting much of the rest of the country is/will be to me.
Thanks! And yes, there’s a lot to see – I just discovered a waterfall today in Sintra and I’ve lived in Portugal all my life!
Cátia, parabéns por mostrares lisboa 🙂 continuação de bom trabalho! cumprimentos PedroL
I just happened upon your blog and it’s great to see someone with similar ideas to my own with regards to showing the world parts of a country outside of the capital. I look very forward to spending time exploring your site:
If you’re interested, I do the same thing for the Czech Republic:
