I'm loving your blog, and as a citizen from Leiria, thank you for the compliment to our city. In Alcobaça, in front of the monastery, have you ever tried Alcoa's Cornucopias? They're out of this world: http://www.pastelaria-alcoa.com/index.php Hi Emma.

If you like savour treats then there are two places I can reccommend, dont know its name but great cafe next to bombeiros in Figueiro dos vinhos that does chamusa not sure if thats right but triangle of curried chicken, delicious. In Serta my town the cafe by the river does a great mixed meat kebab, really filling and cheap. Will get to try these sweet things later im sure!

Nice to know that you are such a fan of portuguese pastry! You are not alone! I understand all that travelling just for that specific piece of cake. When I was 10 , used to cicle 20 km just to go to «Periquita» in Sintra. Do you know the «Travesseiros«? «Queijadinhas«? And «Nozes«? Well, its not close to where you live, but Sintra is worthwhile! I believe you got the right view of Portugal. I love to spend my spare time in Central Portugal flying. I believe it is being discovered by the industrialised countries' reffugees. Being portuguese, I think that it could be a revolution, as long as people are tolerant, well motivated, and like nice cakes, as you seem to do! Hi Emma!

I enjoy it, the way you write about Portugal and its specialities, the photoghraphs. Many times I learn from it, things I didn't know yet or I wasn't sure about. I am Dutch, from the city of Gouda (famous for its cheese), and bought a house in Figueiró dos Vinhos three years ago now. I realy love the village, the beauty of its surroundings, the people who live there, the regional kitchen, the sweets. I have to earn my living in Holland, that's the only reason I'm not in Portugal permanently. But I visit Figueiró 4 or 5 times a year, sometimes alone, sometimes with friends. I've been in many pastelaria's but never in Pingo Doce, alhough I exactly know where it is. Next weekend my holiday starts and this Sunday I'll arrive and stay in Figueiró for one month. And I'm sure that this time I'll go and visit that pastelaria behind the Câmara, to taste and judge the coffe and of course the pastel de nata. I'll go on reading your blog. Bye from Gouda, from Onno de Bruin. Dear Emma,

Portuguese "discovered" Australia before Captain "Cooky" did it. There was an article that came out a couple of years ago about some Californian collector that had a map of Australia drawn by a Portuguese which was verified to be pre-Cook. So, in name of those Portuguese, you welcome.
