    Campismo em Portugal
    Sep 17 2024
    Rui and Joel talk about their experiences and personal preferences when it comes to camping in Portugal. *A note to clarify the difference between pilha and bateria: pilhas: Usually smaller/simpler batteries like AA, AAA, 9V, or coin-shaped batteries. Used in things like remote controls, watches, flashlights, toys, etc. May or may not be rechargeable. baterias: Usually larger, more complex batteries. Used for more sophisticated devices that need consistent/higher power, such as laptops, smartphones, smartwatches, digital cameras, electric vehicles, portable power tools, external power sources, etc. Almost always rechargeable.
