7 September a bit cooler.
A day for a trip out to the ocean.
Coffee, foiled again. Each time we order coffee the names change. Looked up a guide and found this:
"These are general guidelines. No two cups of coffee will ever be identical no matter what words you use. Relax, it’s just a drink."
Lunch:
We were told this was the best seafood restaurant in both Lisbon and Porto.
When we were in Lisbon it was far too hot to go there but today is a little bit cooler so we walked up the coast about 6 miles to this restaurant.
Fresh grilled sardines.
Grilled sole properly filleted with a spoon and fork.
A local speciality: caldeirda de peixe. We were informed that it must contain a local ray as a type of fish and and that it is a typical fisherman's dish.
Portuguese pronunciation: we were advised not to open the mouth like you do in Spanish but the mouth is mostly closed more like you do in French.
The Beach Walk has a particular section of geological interest called foz. The beach area is special and one of the most famous in the Douro region.
Finished the day off with another visit to The Majestic Cafe. Salad and some excellent ice cream.
