Portugal is already world famous for its Port and Madeira, but when it comes to good old regular wine, it seems to often be overshadowed in the American imagination by France, Italy, or even neighboring Spain. The wine of Lisbon is a heady, deep fruity experience all the way to a fine light rose’. The Bed and Breakfasts offer house wines as well and the wines are a taste revolution. That goes doubly for the cheese made from the ewe’s milk of native goats. Most of the grape varietals used in making wine in Portugal are unknown to the typical American xenophile, which is a tragedy given how much excellent wine is made in Portugal.
Azeitao has given its name to a kind of cheese, Queijo de Azeitao. This ewe’s milk cheese is left to curdle by an open fire that is stoked by certain woods to give a rich smoked flavor and scooped up into round molds. The end product is a sharp, pungent cheese that is so creamy on the inside that it is eaten by spreading it on bread or crackers. Just outside the village, on the road to the neighboring fortress town of Palmela (where an excellent medieval castle is to be found), is a family owned and operated farm and cheese makers. There are Bed and Breakfast establishments that provide wonderful amenities to the individual traveler as well as families. Reserving a particular favorite ahead of time is always a good idea. Arrangements for your holiday apartment can be made on line today to get your travel plans secured.
Driving from the cheese museum to town, one will pass one of Portugal’s major wine producers. During the drive into the area, one should have already passed countless vine rows, and these provide the grapes for a handful of local wineries. The village offers a visitor’s center, shop, and cellars that come complete with tours for a proper wine and cheese tasting experience.
Romans, Germanic tribes, Moors, and Christian Rulers have left their footprint in Lisbon. Architecture, religious buildings, cultures, cuisines and of course wines and cheese have all been influenced by the different occupations that Portugal has experienced through the centuries. Many rustic Bed and Breakfast lodges offer some of the most comfortable and interesting lodging in Lisbon, with amenities that will enhance your vacation by allowing you to eat at the lodge’s common dining room or cook in a small common kitchen for guests. The reservation list is built long before the nice weather sets in and the festivals start. Bookings are made up to a year ahead of time and can be done online for your favorite holiday accommodations.
Beautiful palaces, landscapes and historical sites are paved with mosaic tiles the Moors brought to the city. The beautiful handwork has lasted over time to become some of the most beautiful working art in the world. Just off the central walks travelers can find accommodations that keep them in the midst of the excitement of the city or place them in a very quiet, serene setting that is wonderful for family travel. The areas that offer the most convenient accommodations to the shopping and business districts will go quite fast during holiday season, so it is a good idea to book online ahead of time to secure your accommodations.
