Two consecutive windless days... pt 2

The beach where the bodyboard championships were is called Afife. Facing northwest this beach gets a lot more waves in summer than Viana do Castelo, but sadly the thermical winds dont't work here at all...
Time to get some nice lunch in Moledo...
... a small restauriant with an outside grill. This to me is what portuguese food is all about. Good but simple ingredients. Grilled fish or meat, some home cut fries, a bit of rice and some salad. The ingredients are bought from small traditional local farmers and fishermen. And although it might not be a 100% organic, it gets awfully close....

Driving on to Valenca, a small city on the border with spain, you can see that Europeans didn't always get along. Valenca is a very nice example of a fortified city. In current times the portuguese gladly welcome the spanish tourists and try to sell them al kinds of traditional products.

Well, enough site seeing for now.... It's time fro some wind again....
