Everything about Food and Wine
Praça do Comércio
We arrived in Lisbon just as the sky began its soft descent into dusk - pastel pinks melting into deepening blues over Praça do Comércio.
Casa Cimeira
Casa Cimeira reveals its quiet beauty the moment you look out with rolling terraces lined with vines, the Douro River snaking below, and a stillness broken only by birds or the occasional village cat lounging by the stone steps.
Douro Valley N222 Scenic Drive
It was not just a drive but a journey through landscapes that felt timeless, a moving portrait of the Douro Valley that we would carry with us forever.
Torel Quinta da Vacaria
It was an afternoon of food, wine, and friendship I’ll carry with me, a memory as rich and layered as the valley itself.
Veladouro, Douru Valley
Veladouro gave us just what we needed: rustic, casual Portuguese comfort on a cold rainy day.
Casa Cimeira Hospitality
The guesthouse was the perfect base for exploring Douro’s rolling vineyards, but what made it truly special was returning each evening to share good food and wine with newfound friends.
Porto on Foot
One full day lost to a massive power outage across Southern France, Spain and Portugal but we made up for it with an early start the next morning in Porto.
Porto on Foot II
After soaking in the tiled beauty of São Bento station under the blazing midday sun, we made a strategic detour, straight to Time Out Market next door.
Porto Cathedral
Porto Cathedral took our breath away - quite literally, after the climb!
Porto on Foot III
After taking in the grandeur of Porto Cathedral, we wandered over to the iconic Luís I Bridge
Castro Pastéis de Nata
We had tried quite a few pastéis de nata this trip, but Castro might take the crown.
Porto on Foot IV
Downhill, uphill, cobbled streets and centuries-old facades, today was Porto at her finest.
