If you're curious to see the Caldeirada I prepared with Jorge, here's the recipe! - kzread.info/dash/bejne/eqBopZZrcs3Nl5c.html

I’ve spent many holidays in a village called Santa Caterina a few miles from Tavira. I can still remember the smell of the fish market!

So cool. Thanks for sharing, I can only hope one day I live near such a market one day.

About 8 years ago, I started a hyper-fixation love affair with all things Portugal - the surf, the food, the history. I couldn't get enough. I've since visited the place and actually grown a little repulsed by the tourism and real estate bubble I see there, but there's still something magical about the place. Seeing you cut your teeth on all that heartburn was great. Keep up the good work!

I loved being beckoned by locals into Ginja liquor stalls late at night. Also enjoyed Sintra outside Lisbon - place looks like a fairy tale...@@mitchmai

Portugal is where I learned to like sardines. Had them quickly grilled and butterflied with oil and garlic and it was delicious

Oh yes. Sardines and next up for me will be real, big, anchovies. I love em, but never had them in the size they can grow to in Europe.

It's very cool to see Portugal in the eyes of people from other places. If you ever comeback hit me up and I will show you some gems! I've been eating in Portugal for all my life (lucky I know) and there is still a lot for me to discover... but I'll show the best that I know so far

Dude that's pretty sweet. And yes it was quite an experience.

I loved this video. I was pick pocketed in Italy…. Always separate your $, and credit cards in different places ( rap with thick rubber bands ) so if they get one their not going to get it all. ❤
