Portugal Travel Podcast with Inês Carvalho

This podcast traces a slow path through Portugal, not a whistle-stop tour. The Tagus River splits the country into a mountainous north and a rolling southern plain, and the climate shifts from cool, rainy Atlantic air to warmer, drier conditions. Travelling here means reading those regional differences slowly. The show ranges from Lisbon's coastal hills and Porto's riverfront to the granite villages of Serra da Estrela and the cork oak plains of Alentejo. Episodes also visit the Azores and Madeira, the Portuguese archipelagos that guard the western sea approaches to the Strait of Gibraltar. Each place is treated as a working landscape, not a backdrop. The podcast unfolds over seasons rather than from a checklist. She returns to places after months away, watches the light change over the Tagus, and lets one region lead to the next. By the end of a series, the accumulated detail forms a portrait of Portugal that a short holiday could not provide. Inês Carvalho lives in Portugal and stays for two years, moving between cities, coastlines and smaller towns on a route that follows the seasons. Not a week-long visit — Inês is there in every kind of weather, working out where to eat on an ordinary Tuesday, which train to take, what a festival actually feels like from the pavement. A new episode arrives every day. Each one is short and specific: one neighbourhood, one journey, one meal, one museum worth the detour — with the practical detail that matters. What it costs. When it closes. Whether the queue is worth it. What to do when it rains. Every episode carries a full transcript and chapter markers. ☕ Enjoying the show?
