It's good to drive only 2 hours and already be changing countries.
With the main goal of rock climbing in Nature Reserve area of Berdorf, we made a small roadtrip from Germany to Luxembourg... and we could almost believe thet we were back in Portugal!
As a great coincidence, the day we went there it was the commemorative day of the cooperation between Portugal and Luxembourg.
Besides hearing portuguese all over the streets and local bussiness (like any other day in Luxembourg), we had the pleasure of finding a wonderfull portuguese get together with Sagres minis, sardines on carvon and pregos!
We could smell the St. António Fest in Lisbon!! =)
Luxembourg is a very small and lovely country, measuring around 82 km long and 57 km wide!
After driving through the countryside and walking in the city of Luxembourg we can understand why a lot of portuguese emmigrants stayed.
Even though it's a city with some hills we could see that a lot of people go around by bike, and we found this awesome custom made bike! They even have veló city bikes like in Paris but maybe due to geography, they were not being put to use remaining in almost brand new conditions...
Last but not least, the Berdorf Nature Reserve and the top of climbing routes showed us this beautifull landscape!
Almost like a magical country (due to being so small and of course, a tax haven!) all surroundings are treated like our very special backyards... seems no area is forgotten or neglected... simply amazing!
