Experiencing Portuguese Food
It will approach as no surprise that in a country with this much coastline, seafood dominates much of the culinary scene. Cod is certainly a favorite especially the bolinhos de bacalhau, or little balls of cod. Made by frying cod, potatoes, onions and parsley, these cod balls are super straightforward to find. If fried food isnt for you, look for the many fish and shellfish options cooked straight in the grill. This cooking design utilizes simple seasonings, allowing the seafood to be the star.
Cured meats meats and rich cheeses are also an important part of the culture. Ruling places that offer charcuterie boards with wine pairings make for blissful afternoons. Portugal being the ground of meat and fish can make things challenging for vegetarians and vegans alike. In most cases the Portugese come from the more meat the better camp. Thats not to say it is impossible to travel there while vegan, just move into it knowing youll have to plan ahead.

Gay Beaches in Algarve
Once a well-kept secret and almost exclusively gay, this stunning beach is now a naturist’s paradise attracting as many straight people as gay. Hidden at the bottom of a pine-covered headland, it has two sides separated by a cliff and linked by a tunnel carved by nature. After carefully monitoring a trail down the cliff, you arrive at the western side. This is where most people stay, sunbathing or swimming nude. You shouldn’t abandon without checking out the eastern side, as it offers beautiful views of the coast all the way to the municipality of Portimão. Before or after your day at the beach, also hold some time to appreciate the view from the clifftop. The rock formations, the views, and the atmosphere make this one of the most quixotic beaches in Algarve.
