Images of Lisbon

Lisbon, Portugal

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!
