being a fishing town, fuseta is laden with fishing boats and people dining on fresh seafood at the waterside. ? ?
Sunshine & flowers everywhere. trying to store all the flower memories I can before I must soon head to the southern hemisphere for a winter visit!
Orange blossoms, especially in the South of Portugal, are the predominant fragrance of spring; and something I look forward to each spring I am lucky enough to be in Southern Europe.? ?
It's super easy to get lost amongst all the windy little roads. But there are certainly worse places to get lost in.
This, is a prego no pão. You can get one just about everywhere – they are ubiqutous Portuguese bar food. ? ? In Portuguese, prego means nail, and pão means bread. ? ? Much to the dismay of myself and other Portuguese language learners, no does not mean no. It means on/in (não means no) so.. this translates roughy to 'nail on bread'? ? The nail part? that's referring to nailing the garlic into the meat with a mallet. Either that, or it's named after Manuel Dias Prego. Both stories are correct, depending on who you ask. ? ? In any case, it's a steak sandwich in a ciabatta-like roll, with a side of mustard and occaisionally a fried egg.
I love all of the outdoor dining. It seems like everywhere here has a few tables or chairs outside in the alley, in ways that aren't permitted in other countries. It makes the atmosphere wandering in the evenings just lovely. ? ?
