Recipe below! ⤵

I LOVE this recipe for picnics. This time I went for vegan and gave it some autumn vibes 🌿🍂

Salad (6-8 p):
- 240 g quinoa
- 1 pumpkin + 3 beetroots
- 800 g carrot
- 100 g olives, chopped
- seeds of 1 big pomegranate + 50 g roasted pumpkin seeds
- spices: paprika powder, cumin powder, turmeric, garlic powder, a bit of cinnamon, pepper and salt.

➡️ Cut the veggies into cubes and roast them together with the olives, in the oven with some olive oil and a lot of spices at 180 C. Cook the quinoa in 480 ml water with natural broth powder. Grate the carrots into "rice". Let it cool down and then mix it together.

Dressing:
- 80 g pistachio butter
- juice of 2 lemons
- 1 tbs apple vinegar
- 1 tbs date syrup (@yogiyousef)
- 1 tbs curry powder
- 50 ml water (or til obtained the right substance)

➡️ Add everything together and stir or shake!

Tofu (2 p):
- 200 gr tofu
- 1/2 tbs coconut oil
- 1 tbs tomato paste
- 1/2 el Pimentão (or smoked paprika powder and salt)
- date syrup to taste
- a small splash of water

➡️ Cut the tofu into pieces, add olive oil, and air fry at 180 C for 15 mins. Heat the other ingredients in a pan, stir, and add the crispy tofu. Stir until the tofu is covered with the sauce.

Variation tips:
- Veggies: You can vary with e.g. carrots, pumpkin, aubergine, zucchini, sweet potato
- Veggie rice: Any kind will do! If you choose for example cauliflower, it's better to bake/cook this first.
- Fruit: Something sweet takes this dish to another level! You can replace the pomegranate seeds with pieces of dates or dried figs, raisins or apricots.
- Seeds/nuts: You can replace the pumpkin seeds with any kind of seeds or nuts. Also, something cheezy like feta is amazing!
- Protein: I like to add some extra protein. Instead of tofu, you can use tempeh, beans and/or eggs. I prefer vegetarian because of the flavor combination, but any meat or fish will do too.
- Dressing: This could be any dressing you like!

💰PS: For the quinoa, tofu, pistachio butter, and pumpkin seeds I shop at @prozis, one of my favorite online food shops! Use code SAUDALICIOUS to get 10% discount!

Location below ⤵️

This castle has a quite different architectural achievement than many others in its time. It's built on one of the highest points in Serra d’Ossa in the lovely, picturesque Evoramonte, which is located between the beautiful cities of Evora and Estremoz, Alentejo.

I really recommend entering the castle because it differs a lot from the outside with its beautiful dome ceilings anchored on stone pillars.🏛️ The top of the castle gives a wonderful view over Evoramonte, which is a small, but beautiful and unique place 😍.

After visiting this castle make sure to wander through the few, little, cute streets of Evoramonte and put attention to all the little details and colours.

This one is our favourite hike in the nature park

This one is our favourite hike in the nature park Serra das Aires e Candeeiros!🥾🏞️

Two years ago we did this hike for the first time during winter, without knowing the distance. We started in the afternoon (Somehow we just can't leave home early) and during the climb up it became darker and darker.😅

The sun was long behind the mountain and would soon set for real, and our phones were running low on battery...We have never climbed a mountain so fast (except for during runs) 😁

Normally, for us, hiking means relaxing and enjoying timelessly. So it was about time to do this hike again with this mindset!🧘🏼‍♀️

So, last weekend, during our stay at Villas de Aire, we took our chance. We loved it again so much! The views are amazing, the paths are well-maintained and the mountains are covered with aromatic herbs like thyme and rosemary. 🌿

📍It's called Percurso da Fórnea (PMS PR4). Fórnea is an extensive depression with a flat bottom surrounded by steep slopes and temporary streams (during rainy winters). This amphitheater-shaped indentation is a very impressive sight both from either above or below!

The hike is bit more than 12 km in total with a climb of 480 meters. You can either start at the top at Chão das Pias or below in Alcaria. If you take it easy, you'll need around 4 hours to complete it. The best way is to start down and make the circle to the left. This way you'll have the least steep part during your way down.

It's just a 10-minute drive from @villas_de_aire. This amazing place is a perfect base (with a view!) to do this and other beautiful hikes in and around this nature Park.
💰 Just send me a message and you'll receive a €20 discount/night during your stay!

Planning to go? Send me a dm and I can give you some more tips about what to do and where to eat too ☺️

You know what's funny? ⤵️ We bought our house

You know what's funny? ⤵️

We bought our house with the idea of using it as a holiday home, not to actually live in.

So we could be here when my family is here without bothering them. And also just for ourselves to have our own home in the center of Portugal from which to discover this beautiful country during holidays.

Eventually - short after that - we decided to just move because a few weeks per year felt way too less.

But now we live in a region we did not choose to be our home, it was just the village my mother was born in and feels like a safe haven which I've visited my whole life.

Since then, we always keep an eye open when traveling and try to imagine what it would be like to live in that region.

But funny enough, there's always something we miss during these trips, in comparison with the region we live in now.

💛 The calmness, the mountains, the authenticity, the endless nature paths in this nature park, the good restaurants, the sunny weather...

We're still not sure where in Portugal we really would like to live in the future... but for now and after all, maybe it was just meant to be 💛

The natural park Serra de Aires e Candeeiros is one of the many underrated areas of Portugal. It's our 'backyard', the nature we used to run, hike, and drive through. 🥰 The park is quite big so, although we have explored it totally, we see mostly "our" side of it. So when we were asked if we would like to stay in one of these beautiful country houses on our favourite side of this nature park, we were super enthusiastic! 🤩And especially when I saw the pictures of the house with this phenomenal view...

We have still one night to go and we are loving it! We are lucky because the weather is perfect this weekend. So, this means a weekend full of hiking in this beautiful nature and swimming, sunbathing, and chilling in this beautiful garden. 🥾☀️🏊‍♂️

If you like to explore some more off-the-beaten-track places of Portugal, this is a great base! Its close to Fátima, Leiria and Batalha. The house is suitable for 2 to 6 people and the sweet hosts make sure you'll have everything you wish for! 👌🏽

💰 Interested?As a Saudalicious follower you'll receive a €20/night discount on a direct booking 😍. Just send me a message and I'll take care of that.

Don't forget to save this reel for later! Have a wonderful weekend! 💛

What to do in Évora: 🚶🏼‍♀️🏠 Wande

What to do in Évora:

🚶🏼‍♀️🏠 Wander through the streets of Évora with the beautiful white/yellow houses. The best way to feel this slow Alentejano city atmosphere!

🏛️ Admire the Roman temple of Évora. This Roman Temple AKA Diana Temple, is one of the greatest and best preserved roman temples in the Iberian Peninsula. That is why it was considered World Heritage by UNESCO in 1986.

♒ Search for the beginning of the Aqueduct. The aqueduct itself is stunning, and most of it is outside the medieval city wall, but what I really loved to see is the section inside, on Rua do Cano, where charming little houses were built between the granite arches!

🕍 Visit (the roof of!) Sé Catedral de Évora. This Catedral is so beautiful on the inside and the outside! A must visit. Do you see that beautiful towers crowned by Gothic spears on the drone shot? You can come very close to them by climbing this Catedral, which we did a few years ago.

🌳 The small public city park of Évora does not seem very special at first glance. Still, it is worth walking through it. You will find remains of the Medieval wall, The Palace of Dom Manuel and ruins that were built with materials from different ruins from the city together.

☠️ Visit the bone chapel… if you dare :). The walls and pilars of this Capela dos Ossos is decorated with skulls and bones for which around 5,000 corpses were used. Some say these bones once belonged to soldiers, but others say it are "just" the bones from deceased citizens from Évora, exhumed to make place for other people... There are also verses about reflecting life and the importance of being aware of our finitude. I remember this sentence: “The more you pause, the more you will progress”.

📚 The beautiful public library: Check my latest reel for more about this one ➡️

🍴 Restaurants in Évora not to be missed: @tuamadre.evora , Momentos Évora, @origensrestaurant, @salsa_verde_vegetariano @restaurante_lombardo

Visiting a library during a city trip may not be the first thing that comes to mind, but trust me, you don't want to miss this one! 📖

The Public Library of Évora is a beautiful imposing building in the north of the city, close to the cathedral and other beautiful monuments 🏛️.

It opened in 1666 as a college and was connected by a footbridge to the Archbishop's Palace, today the Museum of Evora. In 1805 it became a library.

Today, the Evora Public Library is one of the oldest with the largest collection of Portugal. The building is divided into three sections that are accessible to the public. It also has a safe where the most precious books are kept. When we were inside, we saw several people working in the rooms. Such a nice flexible workplace! 📚

I like to believe we are all gifted with roots and

I like to believe we are all gifted with roots and wings. We just have to develop, use and appreciate both of them to find the perfect balance.

Face your fears, know yourself and your favourite routines that will always bring you back to that save place inside of you. But also dare to fly, dare to think, try and do different.

Some moments I feel my roots are very strong, so I take my chance to fly high. But when I feel more instable or insecure, I do the things that help me to root in again.

Nature is an amazing mirror, don't you think? 🌱💛

🚙 We love to just get in the car, "grab" Google Maps, and drive to places we've never heard of. Sometimes we won't even arrive at the destination we came up with that morning, because during the trip there are other paths, rivers, or mountains that catch our eyes 👀.

Yesterday we went to Montargil to have a nice lunch. But the restaurant was closed already (we don't plan, and just eat whenever we're hungry but when you don't bring your own food it can become a little difficult here in Portugal, because they close in between regular lunch and dinner hours 😅). But when we came there we saw this beautiful lake, so instead we explored this "Albufeira da Barragem do Montargil" from different sides. Somehow the combination of woods, hills, and water is just so attractive, don't you think?

We are ofcourse used to living in a Portuguese village, and yet this stay in @saobrasdoregedouro is a special experience for us! 😍

We love the concept of experiencing the true Portuguese, Alentejano countryside life while enjoying the hospitality, comfort, and atmosphere of a great holiday.

📖...During a trip, a man and his children got to know the small village, which is located on the outskirts of Évora, and fell in love with the people who lived there and the more traditional lifestyle. They saw an opportunity to show this to more people, to make it more beautiful, and even to create more jobs for the inhabitants. They started the project and remodeled the 15 oldest houses....

This way tourism and local life blend perfectly🏘️! Some of the inhabitants currently work at the accommodation, helping, sharing their stories, and making people smile. I guess this is a great idea! 🙏🏽

There are a lot abandoned villages in the countryside of Portugal, so maybe this is a beautiful example!😍

What do you think, would you like to stay here and experience that typical Alentejo countryside way of life?

Renovated beautiful little houses and a pool in the middle of an authentic, almost deserted Portuguese village São Brás do Regedouro.

@saobrasdoregedouro did an amazing job by breathing some new life into this place 🌿.

Next three days we'll be around here! 😍 Chilling, exploring the surroundings and visiting the nearby town of Évora, one of our favourite cities, again!

Soon more about this place in a reel as you might became used to from us ☺️

Happy weekend! 💛

When I think about Alentejo, a few of the things I think about are blue skies☀️, blue/white houses🏡, beautiful green plants in terracotta pots🪴, and cats🐾. But from now on, when I think about those things, I also think about The Village Alentejo.

This nice place @thevillage.alentejo is surrounded by nature and a 5 min drive to the beach. ⛱️ The nice coastal cities Sines and Porto Covo are around the corner. But when you stay at The Village you won't get bored very easily either 🙂.

You can rent one house with a full equiped kitchen from 2 to 8 people. And what about gathering all your friends and have some fun together in this little "village"? They have room for around 20-25 people.

What do you think? Tag or send this to your friends with whom you would like to spend your holiday here!🤩⤵️

Last days we stayed in an off-grid house at A Quin

Last days we stayed in an off-grid house at A Quinta da Lage ; a regenerative eco farm in an amazing area of Portugal🌿, nearby Vilanova de Milfontes and Odemira in the South West. The people of the community who live at @a_quinta share different tasks to keep the farm working. You can rent several off-grid accommodations like a house, treehouse, yurt, or tent🏡🛖🏕️. This way you can enjoy the beautiful surroundings, and at the same time experience the off-grid community lifestyle.

We enjoyed our stay!😍 It wasn't our first time off-grid but off-grid in combination with living in a real house was new for us and we really liked that! We also liked to see the way the community worked and lived together. We have met some amazing people and had some very interesting conversations!🤗 Also, we had the full-canteen option which I really recommend if you'd like to spend some time on the farm. Especially the lunches are very extensive and good! 🍲😏(The cook often changes so I hope they will pass the recipes haha).

❔FAQ!
I received a lot of questions about this off-grid place! To answer a few: All the accommodations have solar energy. Our house had a little kitchen with a water tap too. Most of the houses don't have internet, but some do. The compost toilets and showers are outside and shared. Some showers are heated by solar energy.

Sometimes, I mean rarely, you come across a restaurant where everything seems just perfect 😍. If you ask me, that doesn't mean it has to be a super fancy place or haute cuisine food.

I love it when there's passion and pride for the place and the food. You just can feel and taste it.

Ar'Terra had it all; a beautiful first impression, a cozy interior with lots of beautiful details and a nice vibe, a wonderful view over de village from the terrace, sweet people, good service, and last but not least very creative delicious fusion food😍. They did not forget about the Portuguese kitchen but mixed it with other amazing flavours and ideas.

We started with the couvert, followed by the carpaccio de polvo (octopus), pani puri de javaí (panipure filled with boar), the tiborna de bacalhau and the salad with papaya tartar salad with avocado and falafel. They even came up with the idea to swap the bread for sesame crackers because I prefer not to eat too much gluten.🙏🏽 We loved them all! I honestly can't choose a favourite 😅

We finished by sharing the caramel pudding (baba de 🐫) and alfarroba cake. Satisfied and happy 😌

@arterrabistro is located in a small cute village, between Vila Nova de Milfontes and Odemira, in the West of Alentejo. So save this one for your next visit!

Do you know such a restaurant you'd always go back to?
