Portugal travel tips

PT food is not interesting , lol.

Steak and chips with Egg
Pork Espetada
Grilled Chicken of course.
Lulas or Lulas com tinte ( squid legs or squid legs with ink )
Bacalhoa ( salted cod fish, not my favourite but lots of folks love it )
Grilled Sardines by the river ( Saldinhas )
Latoa ( roasted suckling pig )
Chorizo
Grou ( chickpeas as a accompaniment like starch )
Presunto ( ham )
Marmalada ( fig marmalade so thick you slice it )
Papseks ( Portuguese bread rolls )
Breads, sour dough not commercial

Portugal is a poor country and the food is rich from that. Don't look for fancy cuisine, you want the rustic stuff.

Bonus coffee

Cafe e aqua quent - Expresso with a firewater chaser
Gallao - Late on steroids

Wines and beers

Thank you for the trip report, great photos and I have been to a lot of the places.

Portugal is not a typical European experience, but I like it, I will go live there.

No problem at all. I totally agree with your comments and a small village living would be cool there!

The shockingly green Mercedes AMG GT R is a track monster

Awesome review and great pics (what camera/phone?)! I will come back to this thread when i eventually make a trip.

On your point of Lisbon being overun with tourists - the reality is that all of us will be tourists when we travel - comes with the territory anywhere in the world. Choose if you want to queue or skip to see something different - be informed.

Samsung A72.

I 100% agree. Its a little difficult to explain. Some sights dont warrant a 3 hour wait for example so as far as possible we tried not to wait think the longest wait we did was around 20-30min. All other locations we void of this "chaos".

Just shout if you have any other questions.
 
Transported straight back to the Portuguese cafes.

Brought the delta coffee beans back and the aguardente back from Portugal to make this side.

Ah but did you know most families make thier own? I got a bottle somewhere around, it's quite deadly.

If I recall, it's made from the finished pressings of the wine grapes or so I was told

Spot on, when we were in Lisbon I asked the cafe owner what he added and he said he makes it himself and gave me 3 different shot of all the ones the family makes on the house. Was an awesome experience and really enjoyed it.
