I love Portugal so much that I moved here in 2021. Since then, my girlfriend and I have set out to explore as much of this beautiful country as possible and document its culinary culture.
From the monster Francesinha sandwich in the north to tasty fig and almond stars in The Algarve, we’ve tried to sample every dish we could find. There’s also incredible wine in Portugal, from the famous Port houses to the vines in the sand of Colares, Portuguese wine is extraordinary and often quite affordable. And, don’t forget the pastries! Each city and town, it seems, has its own sweet calling card. Sure, there’s the famous Pastel de Nata in Lisbon, but there’s also the delicious convent sweets of Évora, and even a cake shaped like a momma pig nursing her piglets!
This guide isn't just about food (although there's plenty of to eat!). I also send you to my favorite places in Portugal from the magnificent Azulejo tile displays on churches and train stations in the north to the natural beauty of the Benagil cave in the south and everything in between, you're sure to have a fun packed trip to Portugal!
