Está quase a terminar a votação. Eu votei na nossa camélia e na oliveira italiana. Acho fantástico podermos votar em 2 árvores para ultrapassar a questão nacionalista. Mas gosto genuinamente muito de camélias! A exposição anual de camélias em sintra está a decorrer na Abegoaria da Pena e às 16h há uma visita guiada que recomendo vivamente!!! E amanhã é gratuita a entrada por isso aproveitem se estiverem perto! Eu fui hoje! Amanhã estarei a guiar uma visita aos meus queridos Capuchos.

Vote for the European Tree of the Year 2024 from 1st to 22nd February!

The Bell Courtyard - after ringing the bell the Guardian Friar would come to open the door to the convent and the visitor would be confronted with the last of 3 choices on his/her path, symbolising the concept of the gift of Free Will while the Cross portrayed the accompaniment of God in these choices.

Yesterday, guiding a tour for Shamballah Yoga Retreats in one of the most beautiful gardens of Europe. Can't understand how it hasn't been discovered by the hoards of tourists but very grateful for it! Definitely a must and one of my favourite places to wonder around contemplating the stunning landscape.
