The Sarabandos Travel Portugal

Welcome to Poesia da Vida Portuguesa. This is where the poetry of life in Portugal unfolds, one verse at a time. Here, we’re not just living in this beautiful land—we’re discovering God’s purpose for our lives in every stone, every wave, and every sunrise that paints the sky over the rolling hills and coastal ocean life of Pedro’s homeland.

Our journey is simple but full: stepping out in faith as a family, and stepping in line with the timeless rhythm of this place that calls us to pause, reflect, and grow. 

From the moments we spend gathered around the table to the quiet mornings walking the ancient cobblestone streets. This blog is about more than just growing local and becoming Portuguese. It’s about finding the poetry in every day—in the simple things that carry deep meaning. From the food we share with neighbours to the joy we find in deepening our roots here, it’s all a story of learning the language, culture, and connection to the land we now call home. 

What You’ll Find Here:

• Poetry of Portugal: The beauty of the land, the people, and the culture—captured in words, photos and videos that tell a profound story.

• Cultural Stories: Exploring Portugal through a lens of history, tradition, and the slow pace that

  allows us to truly see.

• Faith in Everyday Life: How His presence is woven through the little things—an invitation to live intentionally with faith and purpose. 

• Pilgrimage to Fulfillment: “The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet” - Frederick Buechner. As we listen to the voice of God and exercise stewardship in the valley, we continue toward arrival on the mountaintop and the fulfillment of our unique mission. 

At Poesia da Vida Portuguesa, we’re not just writing our story on the pages of Portugal, we’re living the verses. Every day, we’re discovering what it means to be rooted in a new land, to live with faith, and to let this place shape the story of our lives. Join us as we walk through these beautiful hills, finding meaning and grace with gratitude and joy to the Creator of all.

Com Amor, the Sarabandos
