Piri Piri


After lunch at the Piri Piri restaurant in Trafaria


What a day...and it's only 4:00 pm. After breakfast, which included homemade quince jam, we walked along the Caparica beach...a wide sandy beach. And then a late lunch at Piri Piri, owned by a friend of José's whose family had a Piri Piri restaurant in Lorenzo-Marx in Mozambique; now transplanted to Trafaria, Portugal. We split three courses: cow's foot with garbanzo beans, pork and mussels with roast potatoes, and mackerel. Incredible flavors...washed down with vinho verde wine.

Caparica has a long, wide, sandy beach. Overcast today, but the sun will be out later this week. Water temperature is a challenge, unless you are a mackerel. But the swimming pool is warm and inviting at our home away from home.
