Below are some random photos of Lisbon, including some wonderful Christmas decorations.
It also includes a few pictures from another one of our "Cultural Discoveries" - once again edible.
Pastéis
de Belém
As
part of a walking tour we visited an old patisserie in
Lisbon which holds on to a secret recipe of Portugal’s finest
pastry for over 100 years.
Only
a handful of people have ever known how to bake a real “pastel de
Belém”, despite the countless imitations found everywhere under
the name “pastel de nata”.
This
patisserie, the “Antiga Confeitaria de Belém” sells
50,000 pastries every Sunday.
The
original recipe for the “Pastéis de Belém” is comes from
the nearby Jerónimos Monastery.
We got to sample the real thing!
Of this treat? YUM!
