 Portuguese Sagres beer by HORSCHECK
Sagres beer is brewed by the Central de Cervejas brewery in Vila Franca de Xira. Since 2008 the brewery is under control of a joint venture of the breweries Heinken and Carlsberg.
Superbock is the most popular beer in Portugal and also well known in other countries of the world. It is brewed by the Unicer brewery, which is located in Leca do Balio in the north of Portugal.

Azulejos are colourful ceramic tiles which are very popular in Portugal for decoration puposes. You find them inside and outside of houses, public buildings and monuments.
They often show geometric designs or images. Azulejos were brought to Portugal by the Moors in the 8th century. Leave a Comment

 Fig pressed into star shape,
with almonds by Ekaterinburg, 2 more photos
Salads were absolutely gorgeous and I never tasted such good tomatoes lightly drizzled with olive oil. All day long we saw local people delivering fish they had caught to the restaurants and everything we ate seemed unbelievably fresh and delicious.
Wine is very cheap (and very good) which really keeps down the cost of eating out. We liked the reds so much, that unfortunately, we never got around to trying the white.
The photo shows a little delicacy I spotted at the food market and couldn't resist buying.
It didn't taste quite as good as it looked but who could resist it ?

As in most of Europe, the nightlife doesn't begin until after 11p.m. So, take a siesta, do whatever you need to do to stay awake. There are dance clubs every couple of blocks in Faro. Leave a Comment

for about five minutes, Spain did not know they had been eliminated from the next round of the Eurocup... for these five minutes I witnessed something pretty cool, Portuguese and Spanish people telling each other they loved each other (yeah they were drunk) and getting along brilliantly. They thought they were both advancing. I can´t speak for the Portuguese or Spanish, but from my experience this is rare.. Leave a Comment
