Today I was in Faro, way down on the southern Algarve coast. Now I’m back in Paris. I’ll definitely go back. I loved Portugal.
Here’s the first part of my journey. I was in three different locations, starting with LISBON.
my hotel, link at bottom
grilled sardines served on thin toasted cornbread and washed down with wine from the Douro region
Followed by delicious slices of cheese served with a fruit chutney-marmalade and a generous glass of porto. Typically a sweetish red wine and often served with cheese and desserts, porto also comes in dry, semi-dry, and white varieties.
roasted cod on chick pea purée
custard tarts called pasteis de nata. Irresistible.
imagine an entire city tiled with mosaic sidewalks
Lots more to come! I highly recommend the hotel I stayed at in Lisbon.
