Lunch in Monsanto

Wild Boar with Greens

2009 has been a year of Deep Travel, delving further into places rather than just skipping on to the next. With this in mind, a Saturday road trip turned into a visit to another country.

Granted Portugal is just over 100kms from here, I don't seem to visit the country that doesn't exist on Spanish weather maps as often as I should. After Saturday's lunch at Restaurante Petiscos e Granitos in Monsanto, I hope to remedy this oversight and dive deep into the neighbouring area while enjoying a lovely glass of Beirao liqueur more often.
