Today is our last day in Portugal and while we’re eager for a new adventure, there is so much we treasure and will miss about this beautiful country and its culture. The Portuguese people are very friendly and welcoming. And it’s nice that everyone speaks English (we’re spoiled in that regard).
PORTUGUESE FOOD IS AMAZING
The food in Portugal is amazing (and that’s the opinion of two devoted, hard-core foodies!). It’s been quite a culinary adventure here. We’ve had goose barnacles (yep, those things you pry off the rocks as the ocean waves are crashing), lots of perfectly cooked fish, and the most incredible pastries. More on food later – that’s a whole chapter of its own!
EAT, DRINK, NAP, REPEAT
This is a lifestyle that works for us! Sleep in, a light breakfast at a sidewalk café, lots of walking (up and down LOTS of hills), lunch at another sidewalk café (including some “Vin Verde” aka white wine), back home for a siesta (sesta in Portuguese), a late dinner (9:00 or 9:30 is a common dinner reservation time here). Then, after eating, drinking, and talking for 2-3 hours, we stroll home about midnight for a good night’s sleep. Next day: Repeat!
NEXT UP…SPAIN!
Tomorrow morning, we take a train from Porto to Vigo, Spain which is on the Portugal/Spain border along the coast. We’ll rent a car in Vigo and drive along the west and north coast of Spain to the city of Bilbao. As you likely know, Bilbao is the largest city in Basque Country and is known for great food, architecture, and art. Sounds like our kind of city!
