Exploring Lisbon

The next day, Maria took me around Lisbon and showed me some local brands and little shops. I loved just walking around and seeing how colourful and contrasting everything was. Everything felt so authentic and so beautiful.

The local food was incredible.

I’ve been told Lisbon is built on seven hills, but after walking around all day, I’m pretty sure there are way more than that 😂.

We walked A LOT and Maria showed me many beautiful miradouros along the way. And somewhere during the day I tried a warm pastel de nata for the first time.

It was warm, crispy with the creamy egg filling and it was incredible. It quickly became one of my favourite things in Portugal. After that, every time we passed a bakery, I would ask Maria if we could get another one. 😂 She told me she’s very picky about where she gets them, so I decided to trust the expert.

In the evening we met a friend for dinner and ordered a seafood situation, I can’t explain it differently 😅. The menu said it was for two people, but honestly, I think it was for minimum five people😂!

Crabs, mussels, oysters and so many other things that I had never seen before and whose names I don’t even remember. It was slightly too much, but absolutely delicious.

I think after Portugal I’ll need to take a little break from seafood. 🦀😂

The next morning we were meeting another friend and heading off to the summer house in Tróia. 🌊🇵🇹Read more
