Photo of the Week - Garraferia do Carmo

Photo of the Week comes from the beautiful city of Porto, I cannot say enough about this city, I love Porto!

I took lots of photos so there will be some posts about this city to come, but in the meanwhile this is a lovely drinks shop I saw a few times. I have not been inside but I thought it looked nice the was they have the bottles in the windows.

I brought back two bottles of Port wine and a bottle of white wine from the Azores which I will drink when my parents visit in September.

Wishing you a good mid week!

Mercado San Miguel

During our trip to Madrid, my sister and I visited the Mercado San Miguel which is located quite near the Plaza Major. It is nice building and inside are many different stalls where you can eat and drink. A small area to sit down and eat but mainly you stand to eat or drink. We decided to have a drink (surprise surprise I hear you say), as it was around 5pm it was not so busy. We stopped at one of the many bars and decided to have sangria with prosecco!

It was really delicious, so we had another! I can recommend that combination which we hope to have again when we are both in Portugal next week!

It really is worth a visit and I am sure you will be tempted to have some refreshments!
