Restaurante A Nau: Casual Local Dishes

O Migas: local culinary deluxe

DSwede Says: If you are visiting Sines, chances are you are either coming from or going to Lisbon.To do that, there is the auto-estrada A2 connecting to the IP8. These are both relatively fast highways. The problem therein is that you must pay tolls and do not see much along the way. In...
