Sign of a nice clean glass, must have a couple more to check for consistency :D

Time to head to the second tour. Now the question is… will it be the same as the first one or completely different places? It is a different tour provider so we shall see.

Group of 12 tonight, a group of 6 ladies, 3 solo ladies, and a couple. Let’s see if everyone binds better on this one.

Stop 1 - Deja Vu, Ginjinha Sem Rival

Following along and taking notes as we'll have a few days in Lisbon this Summer.

Was that first photo just a crowd of people walking or was it a queue to get pastels?

And forgive my ignorance, but what is the green thing?

Stop 2 and Deja Vu 2, Tendinha

https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...252c1e091.jpeg

Cod cake and green wine again, I have upgraded to a beer, not a fan of the green wine

That was just the sheer number of people on the street, the city is busy. That doesn’t look as steep in the photo as it was in reality.

This is the lanyard Sunflower Lanyard

We are now on the way to Stop 3 and definitely not been to this one

Public elevator number 1

Samosa and red wine on this stop, unexpected and interesting choice

Almost forgot a photo, that chilli sauce is lethal! The samosa is nothing amazing, but tastes OK, maybe a little bland compared to what I am used to.

This tour guide is an absolute mine of information and talks extensively at every stop. It’s both a good and a bad thing in that what she is imparting is interesting but she gets grumpy if individuals are talking whilst she is imparting her information which means people aren’t getting a real chance to chat.

I just used the toilet and wished I hadn’t, the inside of the door, pretty grim

https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...b229f8c57.jpeg

Not a recommended stop :D

JapesUK Feb 22, 2025 11:51 am

Stop 4, and we are back on the beaten track at Solar da Madalena.

https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...5f3380628.jpeg
https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...0ba0a63f7.jpeg

Started with a soup which was not to my taste, no surprises there :)

https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...d6ed491ba.jpeg

And then the pork belly roll again which was just as good as last time

Stop 5, Ginginha popular for a sardine

https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...fc959f0bb.jpeg
https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...3faf4a008.jpeg

cold and greasy, not a fan of this one

JapesUK Feb 22, 2025 1:07 pm

Stop 6, back to the beaten track, Casa do Alentejo

The fountain of friendship

https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...1841a8294.jpeg

We are tucked away in a small dining room away from the madding crowds. It is an absolute zoo out in the main area.

https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...bb7b6aaef.jpeg

Red wine, white wine, and beer for drinks

Chickpea and cod salad

https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...f9a70a948.jpeg

Olives

https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...8794c56f5.jpeg

Assorted Cheeses

https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...b6c33a69b.jpeg

Flaming Chorizo

https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...25b8b0583.jpeg

Which ended up cremated :D

https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...e3eab1f59.jpeg

No idea what this was, dishes were flying everywhere!

https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...3e2f669be.jpeg

Add lastly, egg and chorizo

Thanks for sharing about the sunflower. I'll have to keep an eye out for it going forward.

JapesUK Feb 22, 2025 1:51 pm

Last stop of the night is Fabrica de Nata for pastel de Nata and port

JapesUK Feb 22, 2025 2:08 pm

Now finally back in the hotel at 21:07, six hours before the alarm goes off in preparation for the return trip tomorrow. That was a good tour, better than the morning one despite us visiting many of the same spots.

It’s goodnight from me, back in 7 hours or so
