Topped with mashed green peas and corn bread, dressed with thin chips with egg plus mushrooms, chopped peppers and sliced olives. A delicious meal by Chef Paulo Matos at his restaurant Douro World of Excellence, at Fornos Transverse Street, Lamego. Fair quantity and fair price.

My dinner choice at "The Swan with Two Necks", a fine roadside restaurant near Blackbrook, Staffordshire.

Façade of the office of this bank, at Dom Francisco Gomes Square, Faro.

Always noticeable at Achada do Gamo, Mina de São Domingos. HFW!

On house at Longa Street, Mina de São Domingos.

A surprising partnership: rats live in the mines' galleries but, when they detect letal gas, they leave at once the affected galleries, thus alerting the miners, who procede the same way. This mural is displayed in the access to the fluvial beach of Mina de São Domingos.

This is a view from Comandante Francisco Manuel Street, outside the historic centre of Faro. HFW!

On lunch at Ponto de Encontro Restaurant, at Dr. António Padinha Square, Tavira.
