Show Off Your Homeland

RE: Show Off Your Homeland
Dammit, Vic!
Show us your home region!!

Me..well... I've done it so many times on this forum, I don't feel it would be fair...

We got that same sunset as San Diego, but this one is over the Atlantic.
Just the other day, I did a test of my new phone's HDR on that...


Imagine the quality if I had used a proper camera!

You know those palaces that the Germans have?
We had a king who came from northern Europe, so he had one built here:



Also, we have real castles - the medieval kind!



Then... well, beaches bring in a lot of people



Food.... food... food!!!
There are a few special dishes which require you acquire the taste for them, but everything else is just plain old GOOD!
Here are a few ways Bacalhau gets served (a kind of cod fish, salted right after fishing for old-timey style conservation and it seems only the portuguese are allowed to eat this fish, for it is listed as endangered):



Of course, we also eat meat... beef, pork, poultry... the usual. Here's a sample called bitoque:



Finally, the north of Portugal dedicates a large area to wine production... the famous Port wine. But almost everywhere we have people producing it.




The people are friendly, most can speak some english... and the weather is usually great. (after an almost clear July, August and September, October began with clouds and now it's pouring, as it should in the fall).
