Não sei se podemos chamar esse post de “pequenas doses” por um milhão de motivos. Primeiramenteo porque o post não é pequeno. Além disso não foram pequenas doses de inspiração, mas sim muitos dias de inspiração que de alguma maneira serviram pra nos mudar. Há um ano estávamos voltando dessa viagem para a correria de fim de ano. Trabalhamos por várias semanas sem descanso e acabamos esquecendo de postar as fotos aqui no blog. A casa aqui é de ferreiro, mas o espeto é de pau, então tivemos que nos forçar a sentar pra revisitar essas fotos há alguns dias.

No ano passado decidimos que tínhamos que ir atrás de alguns sonhos europeus, então encontramos uma passagem barata e fomos atrás deles. Muita coisa mudou desde então, percebemos que algumas coisas precisam de um tempo pra acontecerem, mas conhecemos muita gente legal na viagem. Uma amiga nossa nos acompanhou em uma Parte da viagem, depois encontramos mais amigos em Madrid e em Portugal. Ficamos alguns dias em Madrid em um apartamento que alugamos no AirBnb, depois alugamos um carro e dirigimos até Portugal por uma rota bem bem legal que funciona super bem e vale muito à pena pra quem estiver pensando em fazer essa viagem. Fizemos o seguinte caminho de carro:

Madrid -> El Escorial -> Ávila -> Salamanca -> Ciudad Rodrigo

Alugamos o carro na estação de trem de Atocha. Não precisamos apresentar nenhuma carteira de motorista internacional para alugar o carro. Dirigir por lá é sempre super tranquilo e o GPS não nos deixou na mão em nenhum momento. Você só precisa ficar de olho onde vai estacionar o carro quando parar nas cidadezinhas medievais, geralmente é complicado dirigir em algumas vielas se estiver com um carro muito grande (nós alugamos um fiat 500L, que tinha o tamanho perfeito pra 3 pessoas). Uma outra coisa que requer atenção é que Portugal tem algumas estradas que tem sistemas de pedágio totalmente automatizados, mas falaremos disso depois. Ah, outra coisa, é sempre BEM mais caro devolver um carro em outro país. Nós alugamos o carro em Madrid e depois voltamos até Madrid de carro. Nós já sabíamos onde deixar o carro em Portugal antes de ir viajar, mas estacionar em algumas cidades grandes não é tão fácil/barato. Veja bem o que vale a pena antes de decidir que você vai atravessar a Europa de carro.

Encontramos estradas com paisagens maravilhosas, castelos e cidades medievais incríveis para serem exploradas à pé, e muita coisa pra ser fotografada por quem gosta de viajar fotografando. Íamos parando e passando algumas horas andando a pé em todos os lugares fotografando.

Como o post ia ficar gigante se fossemos fazer um “guia” de Madrid, tentamos fazer um resuminho fotográfico da nossa viagem ao invés de dicas de viagem, já que já faz um tempinho que fomos. Muitos lugares que queríamos ter visitado estávam fechados por causa das Férias, mas se forem à Madrid, não percam:

Toma Café (melhor café pra quem gosta de café de verdade em Madrid, sem dúvidas)
Federal Café (nosso queridinho de Barcelona que abriu loja em Madrid, segundo melhor brunch da história)
Mercado de San Ildefonso (mercado gastronômico moderno, pra comer até não aguentar mais/bons drinks)
Le Cocó
Hotel One Shot(na nossa último noite, quando voltamos de Portugal, resolvemos nos dar um luxo – hotel super legal e bem localizado em Madrid)

Como acabamos fotografando bastante, o post ia ficar gigante se colocássemos a Espanha e Portugal juntos, então na semana que vem tem mais, com nossos dias em Portugal. Se alguém diver alguma dúvida específica da viagem, vem falar com a gente! Ou aqui ou lá no facebook / instagram.

Se você gostar do post ou ele te ajudar a planejar uma viagem, dá um “share” e compartilhe! Se vocês quiserem ver nossos outros “guias” da espanha, temos alguns posts sobre Barcelona (aqui e aqui), um sobre a Costa Brava, e um sobre Valencia. Se você quiser ver um casamento que fomos fotografar por lá há uns anos, ele está aqui. Se você só quer praticar o Espanhol e vai mais pertinho, fizemos um mini-guia para Buenos Aires também!

Esperamos que gostem!

I don’t know if we’re really allowed to post this under our “small doses” series. Mostly because the post is huge, but also because so much inspiration came from these days we spent in Portugal and Spain that we don’t really know if they could as small doses of inspiration. We came back from this journey exactly a year ago and got right back into our insane work schedule. We had tons of weddings lined up after we got back and since the shoemaker’s son always goes barefoot, we didn’t actually get a chance to look at these pictures for a while. We had to force ourselves into sitting down a few weeks ago to start looking through these again.

We stayed in an Airbnb apartment in Madrid for a bit, made new friends and drove through what we think is some of the most incredible european landscape you can drive through. This is definitely an awesome route you should consider if you’re ever interested in driving around Madrid/Portugal. These are the place we hit up in Spain:

Madrid -> El Escorial -> Ávila -> Salamanca -> Ciudad Rodrigo

These are some of our Madrid favorites, you should definitely hit them up if you’re ever in town:
Toma Café (hands down best coffee joint in Madrid for anyone who loves real coffee)
Federal Café (our Barcelona favorite opened up a Madrid location, Brunch you could kill for)
Mercado de San Ildefonso (hip and modern food market, get your drink and food on)
Le Cocó
Hotel One Shot(we booked an airbnb apartment, but spent our last night in Europe after getting back from Portugal here. Awesome hotel in a perfect location near Parque del Retiro)

This was gonna end up turning into a huge enormous post if we decided to make a “travel guide” type of post, so this is more of our photographic journey through Spain. We’ll have another post up next week with our days in Portugal. If anyone has any questions about our trip, just hit us up on here or on facebook / instagram.

If you liked this post and if it ends up helping you in any way, it’d be nice if you shared it and passed it along! If you wanna check out any of the other posts from Spain, we have a few about Barcelona (here and here), a post about our days in Costa Brava, and one from Valencia. If you wanna check out a destination wedding we shot in Spain a few years ago, you can see it here. If all you wanna do is come to south america and practice your spanish and get awesome on Dulce de Leche, we just posted our mini guide to Buenos Aires a few weeks ago.

Hope you guys like everything
