OCTOBER 12th, Pedro's BIRTHDAY

10/11/2018

 

Some people led extraordinary lives

Our 'King-soldier', Pedro the 'Liberator' ​, was born in Portugal 220 years ago, in1798. When he turned 24 he was proclaimed the first emperor of Brazil, 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 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.

10/1/2018

 

WE KEPT IT SHORT

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 :)
