When it comes to sheer exoticism, few places can captivate the Indian mind as much as Portugal. The westernmost country in continental Europe had a huge impact on Indian history ruling certain parts of India for centuries, but we know so little about Portugal and the Portuguese.
I couldn't contain my excitement when I took a TAP Portugal Airlines flight from Bologna to Lisbon. The aircraft had a fair share of Portuguese people, who were friendly and wanted to know if was Goan. The low-flying plane flew over the coast of Italy and then crossed France and a completely barren Spain before reaching the beautiful country of Portugal.
While landing in Lisbon, it's impossible not to miss the city's beautiful suspension bridge that looks very similar to the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. As I was to discover over the next 3 days, there were many similarities between the Californian city and the capital of Portugal.
