      Lisbon: Tastes & Traditions Food Tour

      9 maggio, Portogallo ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

      We finished our walking tour this morning and went back to our hotels to check in and meet Joanne for our afternoon food tour. Our tour guide Cecilia, was very knowledgeable and eager to share the History and cultural significance of Portugese food. Our stops supported local, small businesses, some of which have been around for many years. She said there are 3 religions in Portugal: sugar, pork and cod

      Stop 1 at Confeitaria Ilacional was for espresso and pastry buns

      Stop 2 at Solar Da Madalena was for marinated pork buns with piri piri oil and mustard

      Stop 3 at Gin Jinha Sem Rival de Eduardio was a Porrugese drink called Gin Jinha which is cherries in liquor
      Abilio - 50 years serving this cherry liquor in this location
      A nossa = cheers 

      Stop 4 at Manteigaria Silva was the salted, cured Bacalhau cod and we tried a Portugese pork meat similar to proscuitto. It comes from black pigs who only eat acorns the last several wèeks before slaughter.

      On the way to the next stop we saw the university students doing their celebratory walk through the streets dressed in their uniforms singing, cheering

      Stop 5 was the Trobadores Taverna Medieval Restaurant.  Medieval Storytellers would frequent this incredibly old restaurant. We had a unique dinner trying a "fake" pork sausage originated by the Jewish people so they could make it look like they were Portugese and eating regular pork sausages. The sausages were made with white meat and bread. We also tried Baukhla cod with potatoes and another pork dish.

      Stop 6 at caso Do Bacalhau Da Ribeira was for tins of Portugese sardines as a gift from our guide. 1853 canning was started in Portugal for sardines, octopus, cod, tuna.

      Stop 7 at Manteigaria was for Portugese custard tarts 

      Our guide ended with:
      Portugese are melancholy people who have lived through so much.
      Salty sea,  how much of your salt are tears from Portugal

      Lisbon, Portugal

      10 marzo 2023, Portogallo ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

      Bom Dia! (Good day)

      Lisbon is the Capital and largest city in Portugal. Historically, it was occupied by many groups over the centuries. Excluding prehistory, it was first occupied by Romans, the successively by successively by Sarmatians, Alans, Vandals, Germanic Suebi, Visigoths (who also ruled most of Spain), then of course the Moors.

      Briefly between 1108 and 1111, Lisbonwas occupied by Norwegian Crusaders before getting taken back by the Moors. Then, the main event. In 1147, Lisbon was conquered by Alfonso I, who would later become the first King of Portugal.

      Lisbon is known as the City of Seven Hills and walking around you'll soon find out why. The steepness of the streets were on par with Granada so it was probably good practice. The good news is that here there are trolleys and cable cars to ease your knees.

      Along the waterfront, there are monuments to the past explorers of Portugal. Monasteries, Cathedrals and Museums are lined with beautiful tile works both inside and out. Lisbon has its own unique style and beauty.      Leggi altro

      Auf der Suche nach den Monsterwellen

      2 dicembre 2023, Portogallo ⋅ 🌙 10 °C

      Heute Morgen öffnet Micky das Fenster und sieht…nix!
      Der Nebel liegt schwer über Porto und somit fällt es uns leicht, Porto zu verlassen.
      Leider ist Micky schon wieder 🤧….aber das wird jetzt erst einmal weggedopt….
      Wir fahren heute nach Lissabon. Eigentlich wollten wir eine Nacht in Nazaré übernachten, aber leider ist die Wellenvorhersage eher mau und deswegen haben wir uns entschieden, einfach nur einen kleinen Zwischenstopp dort einzulegen.
      Kaum sind wir aus Porto raus, lichtet sich der Nebel und die Temperaturen steigen schnell auf 15 Grad.
      Die Fahrt verläuft ohne Zwischenfälle und wir sind um kurz nach 14.00 Uhr in Nazaré.
      Patrick findet schnell einen Parkplatz und schon laufen wir zu dem Hotspot in Nazaré, dem Fort São Miguel, heute auch bekannt als Farol de Nazaré (Leuchtturm von Nazaré).
      Trotz der ausbleibenden Riesenwellen, ist hier eine Menge los. Patrick ist bisserl enttäuscht wegen der fehlenden Wellen, aber Micky findet, dass der Blick über die Bucht auch ohne Wellen besonders hübsch ist.
      Als wir bei dem Fort ankommen, zahlen wir sogar 2 Euro Eintritt pro Person - nicht um die paar vergammelten Surfbretter anzuschauen, sondern um den Ausblick von der obersten Etage des Forts aus zu genießen. Wir wissen nicht, dass wir uns bereits beim Besteigen der Treppe in Lebensgefahr begeben. Von Verkehrssicherungspflichten hat man wohl in Portugal noch nie etwas gehört…loose Stufen, fehlende Absturzsicherungen und wirklich nicht fachgerecht reparierte Gebäudeschäden….und die Elektrik…🙈
      Allerdings hat Micky jetzt eine Idee, wie Sissi Ihre Terrassenabsicherung ohne Geländer bauen kann….😜 Einfach einen gelben Strich auf dem Boden anzeichnen, über den man nicht hinaustreten darf….😂😂😂
      Auch von oben sehen wir heute nicht, die für die Wintermonate typischen Monsterwellen.
      Der Tiefseegraben Nazaré Canyon, nur wenige hundert Meter vor der Küste der Stadt, ist ca. 170 m lang und 5.000 m tief. Er kanalisiert die Energie des Wassers nach heftigen Stürmen auf See. Mit den perfekten Windgeschwindigkeiten und - Richtungen entstehen hier bis zu 30 m hohe Wasserwände.
      Wir sehen ein paar Surfer und ein paar Wellchen, gehen aber trotzdem nicht enttäuscht zu unserem Auto zurück.
      Jetzt sind es nur noch 1,5 Stunden nach Lissabon. Die Fahrt verläuft ruhig, weil Micky schläft. Patrick ist entspannt, bis es in die Innenstadt geht. Die Stadt versinkt im absoluten Verkehrschaos. Wir sind froh, als wir unser Auto endlich abstellen können.
      Wir checken ein und befinden uns nun mitten im belebten Bairro Alto (Danke Ina!😘). Unser Wilkommensdrink ist ein Ginja….i love it! Likörsche….mmmh, lecker!
      Nach dem Besuch der Rooftopbar unseres Hotels, machen wir uns auf den Weg, ein Restaurant zu suchen, dass um 18.00 Uhr schon geöffnet hat. Das ist ja bekanntlich nicht so leicht, wir stellen uns aber auch dieser Herausforderung und sitzen schon wenig später ganz allein im Gastraum…😂
      Nach dem Essen wollen wir noch ein wenig durch die Gassen schlendern. Es ist die Hölle los.
      Gestern war Feiertag in Portugal. Die Portugiesen feiern das ganze Wochenende ihre Unabhängigkeit von Spanien….(seit 1640)…..Und wir haben wirklich das Gefühl, dass alle auf der Straße unterwegs sind. Crazy!
      Wir sind schon sehr gespannt auf Morgen.      Leggi altro

      Day Ten: A Relaxing Reset

      25 marzo, Portogallo ⋅ 🌬 15 °C

      So it turns out that after partying a little too hard, you have no energy the next day... so, no crazy sightseeing today. But that didn't ruin the lisbon experience. We ended up walking around and finding e-bikes. I thought they would be like the scooters where they just move for you, but it turns out they assist your pedaling. With both of us too stubborn to admit anything, we ended up traveling on the broken ones as well; and with the big hills we had to bike, we were very dead. Turns out about 75 percent of the bikes are broken. We tried quite a few. And later in the day I finally found a new one, and it was night and day. But before I continued by our bike adventure, we did stop around downtown for a coffee, burger, and even a massage. And holy, the massage was amazing, my man moved in ways I didn't think were possible. But man, I was sore before the end of the day. After this, we got back on the bikes for a casual 30-minute ride to a birthday dinner of my dad's family friend. One, it wasn't 30 minutes, and two, it took us through the sketchy areas. It took us a full hour, and we even had to go through a homeless camp on the way. Not to mention, it was pouring rain the whole time. I felt horrible when we arrived, but luckily nothing started yet, so it all worked out. But I'm not sure if it was a cultural thing or just there, but dinner started at like 8:45, and we didn't finish eating till close to midnight. But it was still a very cool experience talking to some locals, drinking some good wine and relaxing. Even had a chance to speak to a local lawyer. Every day, I feel more and more inclined to suck it up and go to law school! But who knows? I still have a lot to experience here in europe!Leggi altro

      Praca Luís de Camões Walkabout

      7 aprile, Portogallo ⋅ ☁️ 68 °F

      The second half of our day we decided to take a slow, meandering walk through the city. It was a beautiful Sunday with perfect temperatures to eat and drink outdoors, people watch and take in all the sights and sounds of this amazing city. We weaved our way through out of the way streets and were amazed at all the architecture, street art and cafes tucked away off the beaten path. Lisbon has been a great introduction to Portugal. We are excited for more to come. 🇵🇹Leggi altro

      More stuff in pretty streets

      4 maggio, Portogallo ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

      I then a big loop via the Estrela garden and Eduardo VII park, back down through the designer label area, into Barrio Alto again which, by night is sort of a zoo.

      This, and all the signs saying things like "you look like I need another drink" and " if you're still standing you need another drink", is entirely the fault of two groups that, if you took the census right now, appear to make up 50% of the city population and are chiefly concerned with maximising their booze volume value ratio at all times:

      1. British lads/hens/stag groups - stop singing Robbie Williams in the street you sunburned bellends

      2. early 20s American consultants - stop talking about JP Morgan onboarding you geek bellends.

      Back at the hostel after 18km, I cracked unceremoniously into the sardines I've carried over 900km since Roncesvalles. They were fine.      Leggi altro

      Ankunft im chinesischen Pavillon

      1 marzo 2020, Portogallo ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

      Nach der Ankunft gestern und waren wir noch mit Bekannten meines Mitreisenden verabredet und sind in einem der eher modernen, sprich hippen Restaurants gelandet. Was dabei rückblickend auffällt ist, dass es in dem amerikanisch angehauchten Hühnchenrestaurant auch eine vegetarische Alternative gab. Alleine die vorab-Recherche hat schon deutlich gemacht, dass Lissabon nicht die Stadt der oder für Vegetarier ist. Beispiel: Bifana, ein Steak das zwischen zwei Brötchenhälften geschoben wird. Es gibt aber auch viel Fisch, z. B. Kabeljau. Aber auch Sardinendosen sind irgendwie sehr typisch in Lissabon. Genau wie Oktopus, eine Spezialität, die man häufiger auf der Speisekarte findet (wo auch immer die alle herkommen).

      Generell gibt es aber keinen Mangel an Gelegenheiten zu essen und zu trinken und das preislich teils sehr attraktiv. Wir gehen nach unserer ersten, nicht gerade portugiesischen Mahlzeit in den Pavilhão Chinês, eine Bar mit sehr individuellem Flair. Witzig ist auch, dass wir klingeln mussten um eingelassen zu werden, was dem Ganzen noch mehr Flair verleiht, obwohl es letztlich eine normale, vielfältig dekorierte Bar mit gemütlichen Sitzgelegenheiten ist. Kann man mal machen.      Leggi altro

      Day one….

      25 agosto 2023, Portogallo ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

      Well!!!! Today certainly lived up to expectations in being ridiculously hard… l’m not actually sure how long I was going, but it was over 7 hours.. my watch ran out of power at 43 km so the distance was more than I anticipated… I had a late start as I had to check in at the Cathedral Se to get my pilgrim passport stamped to start.
      It’s fair to say I’ve never ever sweated so much or had so many blisters, my feet are a mess, but on the plus side my rucksack didn’t rub me!! It’s the small things…
      Today’s walk wasn’t particularly scenic, an awful lot of cobbles and very rutted tracks ( hopefully the cause of the blisters ) the main problem today was the heat, it was 34 degrees and there was absolutely no shade at all… moaning over!!
      I had a fabulous breakfast in Lisbon before setting off. The signage out of Lisbon was pretty poor to say the least, but did actually improve further on. I only saw 2 other people that were on the Camino, unbelievable when I probably saw close to 100 on my first day last year… this one is definitely the route less travelled!!
      I think I drank 5 litres of water today and still struggled to produce a tiny wee when I’d reached my accommodation 😳
      Due to today’s distance and the fact I was feeling pretty rubbish at 30 km I stopped for some food and had the most amazing apple and spinach ice lolly!!
      All went pretty ok u til near the end when I went a bit wrong, all sorted but another kilometre added on…
      My accommodation is nice and I found somewhere nice to eat, though I didn’t really feel like eating.. though I did still manage a 🍺!!
      Anyway, I’m absolutely shattered and off to bed.. dreaming that tomorrow will be kinder…      Leggi altro

      Chiado, Barrio Alto, left a bit, and up

      4 maggio, Portogallo ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

      Getting lost in an approximate direction again, today in the area I'm calling 'left of the two streets' and I simply won't be qualifying that or translating it to easts or wests because they are SYNONYMOUS with left and right. Furthermore, north is directly in front of me and inexplicably south is down. It works for me.

      From the hostel I didn't have to check out of (heaven) I walked around Chiado, Barrio Alto and Baixa, down to the water and Time Out Market, and back to the hostel for lunch.      Leggi altro
