I have a lot of catching up to do on videos. This was quite a treat!! Please share photos of the Alhambra if you happen to venture east. :P
I would very much like to travel Europe some day. Looks as if I will have to make Lisboa and Coimbra part of the travel plans. My distant relatives hail from Trujillo, so it would be entirely within the realm of possibility.
You've been promoting Portugal quite effectively. Conimbriga is very nice but I confess it never impressed me much. I visited Pompei when I was 5 (not many tourists around there, back then) and I still have the most vivid memories of it. I think nothing else (maybe expect Guernica - the painting) made such a long lasting impression on me at that age.
@DailyPuffer Ahaha, I don't really remember any inappropriate frescoes from Pompei. However, the tour started by looking at several carbonized corpses, which are trully impressing and give a real perspective of the magnitude of the disaster. That day's memories remain pretty vivid in my mind. It's definitelly a highly recomended place to visit.
Beautiful ruins, and that sunshine looks wonderful from here. It's those little quotidian objects in the cases I find so touching. Thank you for this new glimpse of your surroundings.
@harjoeric It's a joyous sight, that of sun-drenched stonewalls. The city has conducted an effort to keep the area surrounding the ruins clear of any signs of civilization - other than the museum itself and its necessary infra-structures of course. It truly feels like a place from another time.
The museum has quite a collection of unearthed objects, what I showed is but a fragment of a larger collection. I was there on borrowed time, anyway, that's all I could photograph.
Bruno, I feel rather spoilt but the plethora of fine videos that's been coming from you lately. This one was wonderful as well. Like a good episode of Time Team (and I mean that in the kindest possible way).
@DailyPuffer Haha! OK, Time Team is a British TV show (channel 4) featuring a group of archeologists roaming the UK countryside... often coming across "Roman pottery".
Bruno, how lovely! The pictures and music tied in perfectly together. It must be wonderful to live so close to so much history and in a country where culture reaches back 3000 years. Thanks for sharing this and your beautiful home land.
Que lindo.

@RequiemPipes I'm being financed by our Ministry of Culture. Hah, as if there was such a thing.
Never been to Pompeii, but at the age of 5? Some of the frescoes aren't appropriate for that age!
Sim, por uns dias. Depois devo voltar a sair de cá. Abraço!
