A rainy February weekend away in Oporto, northern Portugal.

Flew with Ryanair for the first time. Very cheap ticket, leaving some $$ to splurge on a great hotel, the Hotel Infante de Sagres in Oporto.

As expected, it rained the whole weekend, but it wasn´t really a problem (well, except for having cold, wet feet the whole time).

The gastronimic discovery of the weekend was Bacalhau a Braga : Fried, breaded bacalao, covered with sauteed onions, green peppers and garlic. All served on a bed of fried potatoes. Yum. Warms you up all the way down to your soggy socks.

Getting ready for a rainy weekend in Oporto

 

Heading off to Oporto for the weekend. I'm hoping the yummy food will make up for the horrible weather.

On the rough side of town

If you have to announce that it's a biker bar, is it REALLY a biker bar?

Lanzarote, day 2

Last day on Lanzarote. After a visit to Arrecife, the island's capital, we spent the rest of the day geologically. Lots of lava flows - spectacular landscapes.

Yaiza, night on the town

Dinner in Yaiza at La Casona de Yaiza. Another fine Lanzarote white wine - this one a Stratvs Malvosía seco. Dessert was a chocolate volcano with red berries. Yum!
