I have always felt the lights here in Lisbon are done tastefully. I can’t believe Rafa is wearing a t shirt in that picture, definitely won’t be this year!

Happy Holidays to you three!

Malaga?! We were told that Vigo, Spain was supposed to have the best lights on the Iberian peninsula. They did not disappoint; it was like Vegas without the casinos. Very spectacular! Feliz Natal e Bom Ano Novo!

Joyeux Noël to you both - and Onix. Thank you so much for your writing this year! 🎄

Amazing pictures! I miss Portugal. Of course people come from all over the world for the Christmas markets here in Austria, so it’s also pretty amazing here and with snow every year (not just once in a blue moon like the Algarve).

That picture of Onix is the best yet ♥️. I’m surprised the giant Santa of Águeda didn’t make the list 🎅🏻? See you soon.

Yep, should have been included

No. Did it really snow in Vila Real de Santo António? As in Southern Portugal?!

It was the magic of a Christmas snow machine

I know I am biased but I love the VRSA lights and presepio - the new additions are particularly wonderful https://www.facebook.com/groups/284834491641600/search/?q=presepio.
