Biblical downpour. Dusty definitely not impressed. We have had to dig a moat and drainage ditches. The cat litter scoop came in handy! #wp #portugal # Sagres #rain

I love the ceramics on display at the Cape St Vincent lighthouse complex. Long time readers of mine may have seen photos taken last year… but I couldn’t resist doing it again. Would like to visit the studio where they are made. Perhaps it will be within cycling distance. #wp #sagres #portugal #cape st Vincent #ceramics

We had read recommendations of the Almond Torte. Sad to say, it wasn’t all that. Overall, given the reputation of this place, sadly disappointed. It is under new Management, apparently. On the up side this does at least mean that they are open (on our previous two stays, they have been closed) We will give them another try before discarding completely. It may have been a bad day Do however love the ambience, vibrant and very local. Delta coffee too. Luuuuurrrrve Delta coffee! #wp #gastrovanners #gastrovanner #portugal #sagres #lunch #disappointment

Swordfish for me, Piri-Piri Chicken for him. Swordfish not a patch on the sublime example that we had recently at Casa Direccióne. A lot of it but lukewarm and dry/overcooked. Can’t say that I enjoyed it. Wouldn’t order it again. Too much to consume, left quite a lot. #wp #gastrovanners #gastrovanner #portugal #sagres #lunch #swordfish

A cheeky little Portuguese Viognier. Very nice for a house wine. Portuguese wines are generally pretty good at the low end, we find. The better wines can be remarkable. A well kept secret? #wp #gastrovanner #gastrovanners #wine #portugal #sagres
