nazaré

The older ladies of Nazaré can still be spotted wearing their traditional knee-length circle skirts with colourful aprons, wooly knitted socks, shawls, and patterned headscarves.

bitoque

It was in the seaside town of Nazaré that I enjoyed my first bitoque, a hammered steak (pork, in this case) topped with a fried egg and served with rice and chips. Oh yes, and an insignificant little salad. I normally opt for the sumptuous bifana when stopping for a quick bite, but this day, this was the day of the bitoque.



All that creamy yolk running down the steak, coating the rice...
So simple, and so very good!
