Things to do!

Eat

Grilled fish & sea foods.

Squid, octopus and sardines, barnacles and shellfish, soups and stews, grilled black pig, grilled piri-piri chicken, all the cheeses (dozens of types), all the chorizos (dozens more), and desserts built on a thousand ways to combine eggs and sugar. Yes, there's also burgers, fries, pizzas, salads and sandwiches — all still on fresh, local ingredients.

Drink

Incredible wines you can't even buy outside Portugal.

Classics like Porto, Madeira and original Moscatel. Sangrias with real fruit and actual decent wine. Skilfully made cocktails, or dodgy ones with a sea view — can't have both. Real mountain-range moonshine from untraceable sources. Fresh orange squeeze. Or, on the hottest of days: a cold Sagres Mini, or an Orange Sumol.
