Tasteful Portugal: Licor Beirão

14 Jul

Even if it passed more than 4 weeks since I returned from Portugal, the taste of this beautiful country is still with me, because I bought one bottle of Licor Beirão from Lisbon (and I also received one more as a gift from my good Portuguese friend, Rita). This wonderful, tasteful and perfumed liquor is one of the most traditional drink in Portugal (maybe not in the  poshy clubs, but you can find it in every bar or food&drinks store). Its flavor, in my opinion, resides between the American Southern Comfort and the French cognac, but the Portuguese liquor is even softer and easier to drink ‘on rocks’ only. With a touch of lime, nothing more, as you can see in my pictures. So, for everyone that is passioned of flavored drinks (like I am), this is a must-taste.

Enjoy the pictures as much as I enjoyed the Licor Beirão drink.

Beautiful Portugal, or should I call it ‘Beautiful Lisbon’ as all the photos are from the Portugal’s capital ?! Well, it doesn’t matter, the important thing is that you like what you see, this is my only desire. Just relax a moment and enjoy!

Praia da Adraga

3 Jun

I made so many pictures on or around various beaches that someone could ask himself if I’m somehow like a beach-tester or maybe a surfer… Well, for the records, I’m only a tourist. Ok, now that I fixed that, let me present you a wonderful spot on Portugal’s map: Plaia da Adraga, a sensational non-touristic beach near Cabo da Roca, known as the most western point of Europe.  The surprise is that there are no special equipments for this beach, the environment it’s totally wild, and there is only one restaurant, directly on the beach. For more details, I let the photos talk themselves… you must click on pictures to see the full size of them…

Beautiful Portugal – 1st episode

2 Jun

My stay in Portugal was not reduced to Lisbon, and thanks to our friends, Rita and Sofia, we visited the Western part of Portugal, around the city of Cascais and the famous surf-beaches from Guicho – that area is quite wild, few buildings (due to the instability of the soil – too much sand) and a lot of sun and wind. Perfect for surf, yeah. Also we passed through Estoril and its famous city center, casino and yacht’s harbor, we passed near some (still imposing) old forts that remind us what a naval force was Portugal, centuries ago. Enjoy the photos.

We left from Rita’s wonderful terrace:
