Buckle up for the ultimate, day by day, 4-week itinerary in New Zealand’s North and South Islands with lots of tips on accommodation and great restaurants and activities for kids all ages.

This is the itinerary of our trip to South Portugal in 2021. We have detailed posts and vlogs from each location so do check them out. Portugal is a great destination in the European Summer and with an amazing quality price ratio. It is also one of the most uncrowded places in the South of Europe. Not sure how long the secret of how great the nature, food and people of Portugal are will remain hidden. It is an amazing place to explore independently and with the family.

Lagos was our pick for the first stop in the Algarve. The town has an old part that retains the charm of a traditional Portuguese village, some great beaches within a short walking distance and Algarve’s most iconic rock formations a short drive away.

Villa Nova de Milfontes is one of them. Do not get me wrong, it is not empty. Just that it is not well known to foreign tourists.

Gran Canaria is also called the ‘mini-continent’ for the huge variety of landscapes that you can encounter in a very small surface. From Sand dunes to high peaks and great beaches, all is easily accessible by rental car. If you add in the beautiful fishing villages of Puerto Mogan and Puerto de las Nieves, the picture will be complete.
As the wether is a constant 20 C all year round, we decided to visit in January and had a great week in Gran Canaria with the kids. We also a few great local restaurants that we feature in our video. I hope you will consider visiting and take some inspiration from our trip.
