What My Personal A to Z of Portugal is all about
I recently began working on a series of blog posts, each based on a letter of the alphabet, to create a personal A to Z of Portugal. The posts are about aspects of living and travelling in Portugal that I feel strongly about, one way or another, each based on a letter of the alphabet, for example, ‘A is for Alva, the river Alva‘.
You can read more about the thinking behind the series in my original post, A Personal A to Z of Portugal.
My Personal A to Z of Portugal posts so far:
B is for Brambles and the battle to banish them
C is for Comfort in a foreign country
H is for Handkerchiefs of Love
H is for Home, but what is it that makes one?
M is for Mushrooms of Moura Morta
I’m not the only one taking on the challenge
As soon as I published my introduction to my personal A to Z challenge, other bloggers liked the idea and thought of ways they could do one of their own, about Portugal and other countries.
Soon there were so many bloggers and posts involved, it was hard to keep track of all the links so with the help of Alyson Sheldrake from Algarve Blog I set up a hub site, www.myatozchallenge.com, where bloggers could publish excerpts of their A to Z posts and share links.
However, since my blog is primarily about Portugal, I’ve included links to other Personal A to Zs of Portugal for you here:
If you’re a blogger doing a Personal A to Z of Portugal and are not listed here, please tell me by leaving a comment and I’ll add links to your blog. If you join the hub site, My Personal A to Z Challenge, I’ll be able to keep track of all your posts, too.
You can join in, too!
If you’d like to join the growing list of bloggers who are doing the Personal A to Z challenge, visit the My A to Z Challenge hub site I’ve set up to bring everyone together. You’ll find information, badges, links to other bloggers and opportunities for you to promote your blog and share your posts. I hope to see you there soon!
Even if you’re not a blogger, there are lots of fascinating posts for you to read covering a wide range of topics including food, places to visit, culture and music. Dip in and enjoy!
And don’t forget you can follow Julie Dawn Fox in Portugal by email to make sure you don’t miss out on any future posts. Just leave your details below:
Thank you for spreading the message. We should be so proud of our country’s legacy, and yet we tend to overlook it and blame anything else but OURSELVES. Your blog is, in a kind of way, the portuguese version of Bill Bryson’s ‘Mother Tongue’. Well done!
Thank you, João. What a compliment to be compared to Bill Bryson
