Part 6/7:
The tour wouldn’t be complete without experiencing the ocean’s bounty in Arroz de Marisco, or seafood rice. Served in a traditional copper pot, this dish is a colorful medley of seafood and rice, seasoned with herbs and spices. The complexity of flavors is amplified by the freshness of the shellfish, making it an unforgettable dish in the southern region of Algarve.
A Sweet Finish: Pastel de Nata
Finally, we arrive at the famous Pastel de Nata, the beloved Portuguese egg tart. Boasting a flaky crust with a creamy, sweet custard filling, these tarts have become a gastronomic symbol of Portugal. Tasting these tarts fresh from the bakery is nothing short of transcendent, especially when paired with a sprinkle of cinnamon or powdered sugar.
