October 12th, Pedro's birthday

11/10/2018

 

Some people led extraordinary lives


  Our 'King-soldier', Pedro IV,  the 'Liberator'​, was born in Portugal 220 years ago, in 1798. When he turned 24 he was proclaimed the first emperor of Brazil, 'Pedro I', to which he had recently given independence from Portugal. That day was also 12th October, of 1822. 

Over the course of Pedro's short life (34years) he abdicated the throne twice, was father to 19 children and fought many battles for freedom, in two different continents. Pedro's heart is nowadays the most amazing treasure the city of Porto has in its care.

In this post I share a couple more of utterly unbelievable -real- stories about him...!

WHERE TO EAT IN PORTO - OUR SELECTION

1/10/2018

 

WE KEPT IT SHORT

   
​  The following list is not about gourmet experiences. It is not about a search for the best food or the most authentic, nor about the cheapest prices or the most expensive meals. It's really not. There's also no partnership with us or commissions from their side. This is simply a list of places I enjoy having a meal in the company of friends or family. And these are the places I return to because, for some reason, I happen to like them :)
