I am sorry to say I haven't made the walk to Pedra Amarela yet. I had a hernia operation a little while ago and still have some pain when I run. The doctor told me to take it easy, so I am hoping the next post will be about this walk as I am really looking forward to it and discovering all about the eggy boulder legend.
Last week my family and I visited one of our favourite restaurants, Mariazinha Casa de Pasto in Almoçageme, Sintra. Situated in the centre of the village, close to the typical charming main square. It is a small restaurant frequented by the locals and the interior is decorated with some interesting poems and sketches by the clientele.
The restaurant offers typical Portuguese home cooking accompanied by jugs of wine. Excellent value for money and a very friendly service.
We had the local cheese and bread for starters followed by lamb chops, chips and green beans and plenty of red wine, which never seems gives me a hang over - yet! Always ask what is available and how you want it cooked, they are happy to oblige.
You can't beat it for the price.
