What's very interesting about Costa Vicentina is that it has been almost completely abandoned by the locals. Up until very recently Costa Vicentina was one of the hardest places for especially young Portuguese to live, as jobs have been limited to farming since basically always. In fact, we were told stories by locals who said depression and a high suicide rate have been at crisis levels up until not that long ago. That's why most have left. Obviously, it's not a problem today since you don't really find a lot of Portuguese people here. We mentioned in our second last video that there is an incredible amount of Nepalese people in this region, so when you drive - or walk - around, you see them all over, as if you are on Bali, not that Nepalese and Indonesians are the same, but it's interesting to see. Anyway, when we say "the next Bali" we mean it in the best way possible, and hopefully Costa Vicentina will never become all the bad things that Bali has become. And I don't think it's going to happen any time soon, since the coast is so long and the terrain in-between towns so rugged. In many ways, Costa Vicentina offers what feels like much more genuine tourism, where it's more for people who travel rather than people who vacation. There's a big difference here, as the latter - at least in my book - is where you come to exclusively indulge rather than explore and connect with the environment. That's all, see you in the next video, where you guys can count your blessings you are not in our shoes 😂!
Hello there. My mother was born on the foot hill of Monsaraz Castle in Alentejo.
Alentejo, Baixo & Alto, is the biggest province in Portugal but it is and as always been the less populated.
Migration from rural areas started in the 50ties to the end 60ties. The population of Portal has been pretty steady since my parents and me emigrated to the Netherlands in 1970. 10 million inhabitants.
It's hard to became the next Bali because at night even in August is frigging cold.🙂
The south coast of Algarve has a much better whether than the west coast or the Alentejo coast.
I remmenber being in Zambujeira and the cars being completly covered with water from the humitity at night... in *August*
It's very beautiful to travel... but not the ideal for beach vacation when the south coast of Algarve is so so near
When I watch your videos, my mood goes up 100% thank you guys
Comments like these make OUR mood go up 100%. Thanks so much! ❤
Another just amazing video. So beautiful.
I had two thoughts while I was watching it. First, is it just me or are you guys looking much more fit??
Second, I have a very good friend who, for health reasons, gave up alcohol. Yesterday was a full year since he gave it up. Very proud of him. Glad he is alive.
Joen. Those of us who know about your decision are also very proud of you.
You’re experiencing high levels of stress, but you are not resorting to the easy fix of alcohol. And you seem like a stronger person because of the choices you’ve made. Love you guys.
Thanks for your wonderful support and kind words,Ted. We are definitely getting more fit for every day as we are walking so much, hehe. I would not have been able to do this walk if I was drinking alcohol. By now, I've learned that alcohol is forever detrimental to me, my mood and overall energy, so I don't even think about alcohol. The romance is gone, which I'm very happy about.
I hope it doesn't become the next Bali. And I mean it in the best possible way. This is my favourite part of Portugal because it's not crowded.
Of course, we agree!
The (ice)cold ocean water will always be its savior!
Yes, I've been watching since day 1 and all the episodes are wonderful.....I'm a big admirer of Amelie because besides being beautiful, she's very intelligent.......I'm also starting to be a fan of Joan
Thanks so much! ❤
Having lived in Portugal for 4.5 years, starting in Lisbon, and then moving south to Sesimbra, Alentejo and Costa Vincentina have become my favaourite place in the world - specifically around Aljezur and surrounding area. It's unspoilt, authentic and really where I am looking to settle. Since then I have aquired a property in exactly that area, working on building a touristic business, both to be a home for me and my family, but a place people can visit to stay and explore what life is truly like in that region. The nature, beaches, food & wine, laid back nature and affordability really make Alentejo and Costa Vincentina shine as an unspoiled paradise. PS, Comporta has already been gentrified by the elite, it's overpriced and frankly not all that impressive, too many mosquitos!
Joen and Amalia, loved it. Been watching you guys a long time and this was one of your best! JP Porto
Wauw, really appreciate such a big compliment!
What a great video and introduction to such a beautiful area. We just visited Albufeira for the first time and we loved it. Great fun! Look forward to your next video!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the Algarve!
ALGARVE!!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰
Beautiful sunset 🌅. You’re doing so good, keep walking 😊
Thanks, Stephanie!!
Nice eclectic town and beautiful beach. love the sun set. Places like this need a few good social entrepreneurships to grow a stable and lively economic zone. A lot of places in Europe are loosing their young people due to lack of oppertunity and enitiative as you mentioned. This video high lights your point that beauty is in nature and being surrounded by it. Oh, walking is a great excercise to clear the mind, body and soul.
You're right about everything, Carlos. We love the pure entrepreneurial spirit that we generally saw throughout walking the coast. Costa Vicentina is probably our new favorite area in Portugal.
Alentejo in general is just such a gem. I have a blast everytime I visit, and I'm lucky to be close to it. Just lacks some infrastructure, but it's improving, ever so slowly.
Still a hidden gem, yup!
I Love your house. Pls make more vídeos. Enjoy The new life and the new house🎉
I hope not the next Bali 😝.. but yesss get a place there guyz 🤗
Hehe, maybe just to good elements of Bali! :)
Hi guys....I've really enjoyed watching your videos, and I'm also happy to see that you've embraced a healthier lifestyle! I've been watching your video for years and can't wait to see your place in Madeira once it's completed, what I've seen so far is so amazing, I can't even imagine being in a house like that! Anyways, I'll be retiring this year (yes, "old" people watch you guys as you're fun and you're real...) and I've decided I'll be going to Madeira next May! ....this year I'm going to Scotland but after I send my husband back home (he doesn't like to travel as much as I do), I'm going to Portugal! and doing the Fisherman's Trail! you probably already know all about it and I'm assuming the only reason you didn't walk on it was because of the baby stroller!....yes, it's stunningly beautiful!, I can't wait....thank you for inspiring me....Sandy in Maine
Big hugs ♥️
come to lisbon to see the final of the Taça de Portugal and the champion celebrations, sporting will win it!!
i used to watch all your videos in 2018/19 and i love it
That sunset!
Neither my grandmother, my mother nor I, have been anywhere near Bali… but I did want to go since I was a child and watched South Pacific… Bali High!
I’ll be very happy settling for Costa Vicentina!
I remember the first time I drove through Aljezur. It’s really pretty!
Great video… fun to see your friends again.
Bali was one of the first truly magical places I visited first in 2015 and then again in 2017 with Amalie. Such a wonderful playground for the young and restless. Today, the playground has unfortunately been too polluted. Big hugs!
My dream life was to travel the world and write for travel magazines and write travel articles for others! As it turned out, I met my first husband and got married and had my daughter… so I didn’t end up making those dreams come true. I think that’s is why I love to see young people following their dreams… like you guys, and my daughter!! (And of course I have no regrets with her - she is the love of my life, and I’m grateful for her every day!!)
So much has changed in most places in the world, since I was your age.
Big Hugs Back XO
I get afraid to set up my camera at the beginning of every single week. For some reason my confidence resets to 0/100 after I upload a video. Also, if I feel overweight bc I've been eating like sh*t it's even harder. Great video guys, really enjoy this adventure
im a really big fan, your videos make my day better ❤ big hug for both
Makes us truly happy to hear, Bruno!
Beautiful video, you guys are amazing couple ! Thanks for the video. Waiting for the next one. See you !
Thanks ❤
The best video ever 😅😅 you guys are so funny! ❤
Thaaanks, Andrea!
Another great episode, love u guys ❤
Thank you, Aliocha! ❤
Keep Portugal Pure!!!
The Problem with Madeira is the lack of sand beaches, if there was at least one sandy beach like in Bali, it would be so crowded
9:32 Honeymoon vibes! 🤣Personally I always swear in danish - only 0.001% of the world will understand anything. Elsker Halen-mellem-benene-Joen der retræter uden at skamme sig. Så sjovt!
Hahaha! I LOVE when I'm able to authentically piss off Amalie. She's so sexy when she gets angry!
@@stayclassyvlogSpank my monkey yeeeah! 😂

Hello guys
Helloo, José! :)
What’s the restaurant you like in Vila nova de milfontes
What’s the name of the mood tracker Joen uses?
Daylio
@@stayclassyvlogthanks! 😊
The irony about these sort of places is the more you talk about them the less they survive, turning into another tourist trap.
I don't think so, because there really isn't much here beyond tourism.
@@stayclassyvlog What I mean is that there is a difference between tourism and BIG tourism. I've seen it happen to Funchal, as it grows the local population just morphs into an army of waiters, salespeople and tourist guides, changing what the place used to be, which had much more of a mix of trades and people. Tourism in the past turned funchal into a nice town, don't get me wrong, but maybe we have too much of a good thing? Funchal in the 80s and 90s was very nice, the modern funchal is a bit more generic tourist town, lost it's personality a bit. Something similar could happen to the Costa Vicentina. I guess over time it self balances, as locations become more and less popular in a cycle.
I live in South East Asia and Its very difficult to see that west coast becoming anywhere near what Bali is, actually when i clicked i thought you were gonna say “Azores” is the next bali. Its a shame because i like S.E Asia for its energy and street food vendors, but so many places in the algarve / south portugal are like ghosttowns….I can totally see why depression rates are high.
We can change it by not travelling. But that's not an option...
Certainly not!!
I dont think this part of Portugal will be the next Bali at all. give me a place off the beaten track any day instead of an overcrowded tourist spot. I think this place will remain under the radar for the rest of eternity.
We hope so :)
Me, watching this video, never having been in Bali 😢🤡
Dont tell the world, they going to spoill it
Please stop the publicity!!! This is my region and we don't need any more tourists. Our lives are already torn upside down as it is. Please
Imagine how the rest of the 🌍 felt?!?
Newark, Toronto, Luxembourg, Macau, Cabo(s), Bahia, etc... ... ...
⛵🌍🛶🇵🇹
There's always room 🚴🧗🏃
We want to inspire only positive tourism. And that's what you find here today. Will it change? Maybe, but the very low density of people and rugged terrain will allow this area to remain raw and authentic for many years to come.
Joen have you had any success with marijuana? It's not for everyone, but if it is for you it can be a tremendously better replacement to alcohol.
It will make you paranoid
You should only use it under medical supervision by docters that know what they are doing
Are you guys crypto millionaires?
Bali? lol please dont offend us.
Have you been? Bali is an amazing place, but not so much in these days due to over-tourism.
@@stayclassyvlog and why do you want to advertise this area so much? let there be places in
Portugal where it doesn't become a Bali. Leave the people in piece and just enjoy it quietly.
who in the world drinks água Monchique? 💀
In fact, many , many people drink monchique water, it is 100% natural, mineral, alcalina with pH de 9,5 and natural anti-oxidante
people who want high ph water and nice packaging 😃
In fact, many, many people drink that water. It is 100% natural, mineral, alkaline with pH de 9,5
In fact, many, many people drink that water. It is 100% natural, mineral, with pH de 9,5
I even buy it here in Canada because of the high ph 😁
I hope not in Portugal, because after millions of tourists Indonesia still a poor country and expensive for the locals
I know you need catchy titles on UA-cam to secure views and subscribers but if you do not enjoy what happened to Bali, why are you then directing the masses to Portugal? It’s so contradictory. I know you need new and attractive content to keep people entertained, would it harm your success to protect some places from such visibility?
Did you watch the whole video? :)
Only 18 minutes of it. I forgot to say in my message that your videos are great guys, beautiful work and life too. Enjoy Madeira ♥️
