Setúbal Highlights - Shanna's Bossy Tour
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- PLEASE NOTE: May 2022 - Shanna is taking a summer hiatus from Bossy Tours and Move to Portugal sessions. She is planning for these to return in the fall/autumn of 2022, so please check back then for links.
In the previous video we mentioned 'Shanna's Bossy Tours' where she shows people the parts of her home town Setúbal, Portugal, that the regular tour guides might miss out. As her tours take about three hours or more, we condensed the best places to visit in Setúbal into one short video by focussing on the highlights.
For more tourist information about Setúbal, visit the Visit Portugal website at: www.visitportu...
After three years of Living in Portugal, Shanna knows the ins and outs of what it feels like to be a single woman tearing up her life in California and arriving in Portugal with just three suitcases and her dog.

Amazing Shana, a great point of view of my city!! Thank for your kindness!!!! Welcome board!!!
Every time I’ve visited Portugal the people there never cease to amaze me. They are wonderful!
Thank you !
Yes they are! :)
I’ll second that!
It's so amusing do see through different eyes a place where you have lived almost your entire life! It was a pitty it wasn't sunny enough so that the viewers could see the incredible blue sky! Keep up the good work.
Glad you enjoyed it!
What an amazing tour! Makes me wish I could book a flight. I so admire Shanna for having the courage to leave California and adventure on her own. What a gem she found to call home.
Thank you, Cindy! :)
I was totally drawn in - what a wonderful place to live, and to be shown around by such a fabulous tour guide!! Thank you Shanna and Andrew!
Thanks a bunch, Hilary! :)
What a beautiful place Setubal is! A city but with a 'town' vibe! Wonderful architecture and vibrant colours, I particularly liked the sculptures they were great! You're very good Shanna! Very professional and informative! I loved this too, thank you both for thinking of me in last week's vlog, made me feel a bit special! Obrigada!! xxx
Oh yes, Anne--last week's vlog was pretty much for you :) Thanks for your kind words (this was all off-the-cuff so not sure how pro I am, but I had fun! :)
Thank you Andrew! Really enjoyed this one, especially after last week! You're still the best!! xxx 💕
What a beautiful place. Thanks for sharing. Hoping to visit Portugal soon with my family.
Its really amazing city where i stay i love setubal 🇵🇹🤟thanks for visit my city
What a lovely tour and Shanna is a great presenter! Thank you both for the video.
Ah, David--thank you. So kind :)
What a lovely video and Madam dear you sound very professional.
You showed the prettiest part of Setubal with chic cafes and elegant seating equivalent to that of five star hotels.
Thank you
Thanks for the great tour Shana. Such a gorgeous friend,
This makes me miss Portugal more. I'll be sure to include Setubal on my list next time I visit. ❤
Are you kidding me? This is where you get to live!?! Marvelous tour and guidance, and well produced video! All the best!
Right? It's pretty amazing :)
Thank you Andrew and Shanna for the wonderful tour! @shanna - wish you all the best in your new side gig(s). I admire you for making the move on your own! Obrigado for the vid. Greets from the PH. 🇵🇭 🌷🌞
Thank you, Kitty S!
Thank you for making such an amazing vídeo about my hometown. You are very welcome 🙂
So pleased you enjoyed it. Thank you!
Just a little note: Manueline is a portuguese interpretation of late gothic architecture. If you strip the ornateness of the stonework you will note that you end up with the same shapes as gothic buildings in northern Europe. Baroque style is a later style in time, also ornate but in a diferent way (manueline loves nautical and tropical themes: ropes, interpretations of palm trees and exotic plants and animals, ships) Baroque in Portugal is mostly seen in its tempered less flamboyant way influenced by "manerism" a somewhat sober style adopted in southern Europe....until you go inside the building/church. Once inside is full on flamboyance with extatic saints and fat naked cherubs. Rich colours and materials
Great tour look forward to joining Shanna's Bossy Tours in person soon
Brilliant - Every city needs a Shanna’s Bossy Tour! All of the things you really want to see and none of the tourist nonsense you forget about within 5 minutes.
Thumbs up from us, thanks guys 👍👍
Gosh Shanna, that was a terrific tour of your new hometown, amazing , you are gonna make a brilliant tour guide with that tourist office , so interesting , very informative and yet relaxed , easy going , you've landed on your feet , not bossy at all , just a passionate , dedicated , assertive , upright lady , well done all of you , hugs HNY
Oh Linda-thank you :)
Loved the colourful public buildings! They must be hiding your videos as I had to dig through my feed to find your videos for the past few months!
Wonderful video. My wife and I are in Portugal for two months exploring the country and looking forward to visiting Setubal. We’ve been here less than a week in the Porto region and already falling in love with this place and people. Feliz Natal and Boas Festas.
We love Portugal and it's people, so friendly. Thanks for the tour Setubal looks lovely.
10 out of 10 Andrew & Shanna! What a great presentation. Would love to visit there someday when "the bug" finally leaves us all alone. Cheers, 😊👍
Aww, thanks a bunch, Mo--glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful city
I miss my beautiful Portugal... Living in USA-NC and probably moving back soon as the US is going through a not so good moment.
Portugal is beautiful--she's waiting for your return! :)
@@shanash1 my biggest fear is since I been here for so long and grow up in the US that I'm not sure how to fit back in and then the job opportunities. 🙃
@@henrison Yes, the job opportunities are not great. If you can make your own remote work, then you'll have better prospects.
@@shanash1 I'm a Hvac Tech .So I guess I have to start a new career
Thank you for choosing our city to live in!
@@rir79 chega Rita, chega
@@BrunoRibeiro-po2bv obrigada, Bruno. I love it here--thank you for your warm welcome. :)
What a beautiful town! Thank you for the tour Shanna. Thank you for the fantastic video Andrew. 😍
Glad you enjoyed it, Mads!
Minha cidade Setúbal 🇵🇹💚
Também! Boa Ano Novo! :)
@@shanash1 bom ano para vc e sua família. Cheio de saúde
Thank you for your tour of my beautiful country 🇵🇹
Wow Shanna has really taken the bull by the horns. It’s so lovely to see how she has conquered the unknown. So happy for her. It’s also great to see how she has made Portugal her home. These videos are so helpful with lost of information. Muito obrigada for sharing 😁
Aww, thanks, Anna! :)
Andrew and Shanna, Love this! Thank you. We are moving to Setubal very soon and are so grateful to you for sharing your insights into this beautiful place. We discovered your channel just last night. Shanna, I would love to join one of your gatherings at Bloomy Market!
Wonderful tour thank you 😊
I love the tour. Love the colours of the buildings. Everything looks so laid back. Thank you. ilona
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fantastic tour, such a beautiful place. So clean and well cared for unlike most places here in Britain. Thanks.
Great video, thanks for the tour looks like a lovely place to visit 👍👍👍👍
A very nice tour Shanna! It's interesting that my partner - who's from Lisbon - has, over twenty five years, shown me many, many parts of Portugal, yet until recently we'd never visited nearby Setubal, as she had the idea it was rather 'run down' and 'industrial.' What a pleasant surprise it was for us both when we finally arrived via Arrabida. Since then we''ve returned several times - her opinion totally changed! As for the Portuguese language - I think there are certain sounds which native English speakers just don't know where to put the tongue to make! I'm still trying......
I'm looking forward to visiting Setubal for the first time.
As a fellow female Californian of similar age I love your videos. I’ve been here for three weeks and have a few more to go. Absolutely loving it here in Lisbon and had noticed Setubal as another seaside area which intrigued me. After watching this great vid and seeing a bit more, especially perhaps sailing opportunities, I will definitely be checking out your new home town. Thank You 🌞⛵️
Wow, Setubal looks like a really nice place. Thank you so much for the tour!
I loved it!!
Thank you, Kelly! :)
A beautiful city.
It certainly is, James!
Cidade majestosa 💙💚💛💜
I hope you and Dougal are having a merry Christmas, have a happy healthy 2022.
Obrigado por divulgar a cidade mais linda do planeta
A wonderful insight to Shanna's Bossy Tours, although I think Shanna's Gracious Tours is more apt.
Thanks for the kind words--Bossy is a bit tongue-in-cheek (but I really like Gracious Tours....)
What a beautiful tour. Absolutely stunning. Love those quirky statues in the park.
Shanna found a wonderful place to live. ❗️TFS.
Thank you, Zelda! :)
I loved it! I can’t wait to get back to Portugal, love it and hopefully we will be able to take Shanna’s tour.
Thank you, JA F :)
Dougal’s channel! So where is Dougal?😁This was a great video, so informative and interesting. It really made me want to pay a visit and take a full tour. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely loved this. Shanna should have a channel to supplement her wonderful newsletter. Bests from Bosnia and please stay safe
Thank you for your kind words--I'm glad you enjoyed the tour (and my newsletter). Who knows what the future will bring...maybe a channel? :)
You must go to the Livramento Market, before lunch at the bloomy market. It's One of the most beautiful markets of the world.
yes, of course! :)
💯🔝BOSSY! Thank you! :)
it's amazing, i live in Setúbal i'm portuguese 🥰🥰
Deus continue abençoando essa cidade
I love shanna
SHANNA! So very gently bossy: "Shall we take a look?" "Come on." "Let's go!"
The goal of most tours is to make you feel as if you've been there, done that. Your bossy tour leaves us wanting more. More cafes, more arts, more beauty.
You could've said "lovely" a hundred more times and it still wouldn't be enough.
Oh, Emily--you are the sweetest! Yes, gently bossy, unless I'm hungry, then it's cranky bossy! But that's why we start with lunch, first :) I'm glad you enjoyed all my exclamations of "lovely" as there's more where those came from! :)
SO BEAUTIFUL 🤩 TGANK YOU. WELCOME TO PORTUGAL 🇵🇹 SO PROUD TO SEE YOU SPEAKING PORTUGUESE, YOU DOING FINE, MY BEST WISHES. I MOVE TO YOUR COUNTRY AND YOU MOVE TO MINE. BECAUSE MY HUSBAND IS FROM HERE BUT I MISS EVERYDAY PORTUGAL 🇵🇹.
Love your mini tour. It made me homesick. Your prononciation is very good.
Obrigado. 💯🌈🇵🇹
Muito obrigada, Denis! :)
What are you on about? Your pronouncing in very good. I wouldn’t take you for a native but you are clear enough to get by.
Glad to see such a kind look from abroad over that amazing place, it really is beautiful.
You must however tell me where the pink dolphins are, I’ve never seen them. What I know the Sado river has is a community of Roazes Corvineiros known in English as Common bottlenose dolphin. Amazing creatures, if you take the ferry to Tróia you might just get lucky enough for them to swim alongside the ferry. Makes you want to jump in the water and play with them.
Thank you for your dedication to exploring and learning about the city and the surrounding region, it’s quite heart warming for the locals to witness such appreciation.
Ah, thanks so much, Alexandre--I appreciate your kind words about my pronunciation. I am trying! I've seen the dolphins once on a trip to Tróia--I hope to have that experience again. I love it here, and am happy to learn all I can. I want to be an asset to the community--this place I call home. : )
Que casal maravilhoso! Sejam bem vindos a Setúbal e muito felizes connosco. Muito obrigado e um Feliz Natal.
Very good tour Shanna! Thank you so much, because I've been thinking about leave San Diego, and go live in Setúbal... Next year!😍👏🏾😘🙌
Ah, San Diego, my hometown. Do check out Setúbal--it's lovely :)
love this tour, thank you!
I did not see Pastel De Nata at the Cafe? That is my go to with coffee.
You're right, they need to work on that! ;)
Hi!!
I'm setubalense.
Some Jardim do Bonfim sculptures are historicall, like Luísa Tidy and Bocage. Others are topical figures, like our fisherman's, or the people who sells in the market you hav showed.
The dolfhins were painted by kids from diferentes schools of our city!
Small artists!! 😉
Casa da Baía is part of the municipality.
The purple city hall is from our flag, which is purple and white.
Caso do Turismo, like Casa da Baía, sells regional products.
Thank you for your promotion!! 😉😘🇵🇹
yes to all! Thank you for watching!
Well done! What a nice and pleasant tour. Congratulations and thanks to Shanna for choosing my country to be her home.
Thank you--and I chose well! I love Portugal :)
Thank you Andrew and Shanna for showing the best of my home town. Don't worry about the accent. It's amazing you are learning the lingo! That in itself is amazing! 😘
Thank you :)
Beautiful tour Thank you for showing us this gorgeous spot
Thank you for watching! :)
So lovely to see a foreignor speeking about the town I was born, raised and still live in...♥️
:) I love it!
what a gorgeous looking town. thanks for the tour!
Shanna. I am Brazilian/Portuguese and I enjoy your chanel, I live in London and I thinking to move to Portugal and Setubal/Lisbon is in my list. Better learn Portuguese with the music and talk with people, if I am go to Setubal I will teach you..
so good, Thanks Shanna, the Bossy Tour would be the BEST.....great food, great company and a great place....Portugal!
Congrats!!!! It´s amazing how you, in a relative small amount of time, integrated into our culture and became one of us. When describing the views you allways say "we..." instead of they, because you are now one of us. We need more of your kind in the country!!!!!! Be happy and stay safe. Merry Christmas and happy new year to you.
Jaime! Wow, thank you so much! Yes, I say we because I'm here, it's my place for good or bad. I spend most of my time with locals, learning and just being a good friend. I'm not an expat--I live (and love it), here :) Feliz natal e feliz ano novo!
What a great video. I really love your little town and it is totally on my list of towns to visit when I come. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you! The cafes everywhere is awesome.
Hi Shanna,
Wonderful video tour. Your previous video have inspired me to visit Setubal with my family in June of '22 to celebrate my 60th birthday. We'll be in town for 10 days. Is it possible to meet up with you? We are seriously thinking of moving to Portugal someday soon. Would love to take an in person tour with you.
Obrigado
Darryl
Hi Darryl, you'll need to contact Shanna using the links below the video. Thanks for watching! Andrew.
Essa cidade maravilhosa 😍
I have been wanting to check out this area for some time as a place to live forever. I am currently in Figueiró dos Vinhos in the Beira Littoral. How can I contact Shanna? Want a tour (fellow cranky Yankee).
Hi Jude, just Google Shanna in Portugal and I'm sure you'll get there!
I am using my tablet. No links are showing to Shanna. Help!
All cities in Portugal make all type of events (cultural) or for kids.
Odivelas where i live you can go to the library (municipal library) or to the city hall and ask for the pamphlet/brochure about all the events that going to happen in the city for that month or you can sign to receive that in your mail...
...but the best is the most of them are almost for free or cost so cheap you dont believe.
I remember one day a friend ask to go see the performance of one friend in the theater call Malaposta (Odivelas) and i pay only 5€ for one the best performance (theater) i see in my life and the kids enter for free.
And dont forget all museums and castles, monasteries are free every Sunday from 9am to 15pm.
Portugal have the mind that culture is for everyone. Even Lisbon Metropolitan Orchestra have some concerts for free, at least once a year, but right now i cant find information about that online.
all true! Thanks for watching :)
Very interesting tour and very complete I must say. Congratulations Shana or Xana in portuguese, nickname for Alexandra. 👏👏👏
Yes, Portugal is the first place where people pronounce my name correctly right of the bat because of Xana :) Thank you for watching!
A video wherein I say the word "lovely" a lot. A lot, a lot! But hey, no script, all improv--and Setúbal IS lovely--what else can I say but the truth? :)
Shanna, you’re such a sweetheart and your Portuguese is getting really good. Loved the tour, it really captured the essence of this little town ♥️
@@jessicalorusso7617 Oh, Jess--thank you. I'm making slow language progress--but I'm working on it! We miss you around here! :)
Thank you for showing my home town. I miss it
I meant to comment here Andrew just for you! You're the best!! Always! Do you still have a roof after the gusts in the night?!! xxx 😘
Hello Shanna, I’ve been trying to reach you with the hope I could sign up for your tour. I’m here in Setubal for a week now recovered from jet lag. Thanks, hope to hear from you soon.
Hi, I have updated the video description. Shanna is taking the summer off but the tours might return in the autumn. Thanks for watching.
Dont know if you know about it and forgot to mention or if you never noticed. At Casa da Baia, the area were you was showing the plates with all the bays world wide, the glass plates on the floor allow you to see Roman ruins under the ground. Setúbal had an amazing historical importance as a port and trading and a huge part of the city lies over Roman buildings or the remains of those buildings to be precise.
Yes! So many amazing features--I couldn't mention/remember everything for this one short tour :)
the lungs of the city, love that, I sense another coffee coming on. Looks like a great place. Can you do one of the wilder more natural areas please. Thanks to you both.
Thank you, Pete. I'll try to get out more, but I am a car-free human, so urban walking is more my thing...but stay tuned! :)
Good day guys, Shanna you have sold us on Setubal. We are currently in the process of gathering our necessary documents to apply for our Visa’s. If I understand you correctly you offer tours? It would be awesome to book you for a couple get to know Setubal tours. We were in Lisbon and North in September but didn’t visit Setubal. On a side note, as a stylist for 40 years who specialized in short razor cuts, your hair is on point! Hope to meet soon. Timothy and Eddie
Aww Timothy--thank you (and bring your scissors--I like to keep my haircut sharp and clean!). Do contact me via my website (links above) as I'd be happy to show you around.
wow bossy is right
I can see why Shanna loves this country. Very beautiful and clean. I’m sure it must be very busy in summer. Thanks for sharing. 🙋♀️😁👍🎄🇨🇦
Actually, not that busy--active in summer, yes, but we don't have the overwhelming tourism that Lisbon does. Just enough to keep things lively! :)
Not very clean but rapidly improving
I used too live in foz de doro in Porto this was in the 80's before Portugal was in the EU there was nothing like this there was lots of poverty begging and open sewers and drains. Its amazing what EU money can do to improve people's lives. Stay safe xx
Yeah covid is very sad indeed 😢 😞 😔 😕 😪 💔 😢
We welcome every Migrants with a good taste. I live in Setúbal since 1983.
Thank you, Vasco-I am so happy to be here. Feliz Ano Novo!
Shanna, um pormenor: o manuelino é a expressão nacional do gótico flamejante. O barroco é um estilo posterior.
Hari OM
I finally did it, I hit 'subscribe'! Have been watching your channel all year (Andrew and Dougal's channel that is &*>) but just never quite go around to hitting that button. Now it is done.
This was a glorious video - you and Shanna make a great team and I appreciate finding out her story too. In the days when travel truly opens up again, I shall be keeping Portugal, and particularly Setubo, at the top of my 'wanna go' list!!! YAM xx
Woo-hoo! Thanks for hitting that button, and welcome aboard :)
as a bossy girl she do knows a bit about portugal lol
Appears to be a ghost town as there was hardly anybody around in all the locations you were at
