When people think of the Algarve they think of beautiful beaches with emerald seas surrounded by sand stone cliffs and grottos. To be fair, you’d be right to think this, but there are some pretty wonderful things inland, and one such gem is Monchique. Monchique is a town nestled (funnily enough) in the Monchique mountains and attracts the more adventurous tourist, being a whopping 45 minute drive from the coast.
A 45 minute drive is nothing for Canadians, which is where Jelena and Joao live, Mississauga, to be exact, which is (in Canadian terms) ’just down the road’ from where Lena is from, in Etobicoke. Not only do Lena and Jelena share the same name and Toronto connection, they both have Yugoslavian heritage. Now there’s a cool coincidence.
Their engagement session was pretty sweet and their wedding in Os Agostos a few days later was awesome.
