Esposende, a picturesque coastal town situated in northern Portugal, is nestled between the vibrant city of Porto and the historic town of Viana do Castelo. This hidden gem along the Costa Verde is renowned for its breathtaking natural landscapes, from the shimmering Atlantic Ocean that kisses its sandy beaches to the lush beauty of the Cávado River that gently winds its way into the sea. Esposende is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, offering a plethora of activities such as surfing, kite-surfing, and hiking amidst the stunning scenery of the Peneda-Gerês National Park nearby. The town's charm is further accentuated by its maritime heritage, evident in the traditional fishing villages and the delightful seafood cuisine that captivates food lovers. Rich in culture and history, Esposende also boasts ancient monuments and the pastoral beauty of the surrounding Minho region, making it an idyllic destination for those seeking both relaxation and adventure.

In 2024 I was in Esposende during my school education to become a horse groom and it was really the start for my love to travel. I really enjoyed the new culture, the people and the experiences that I got from it. It also gave me new courage to travel solo to new countries in the future.
