Anyone know anything about European soccer? I know crap about it and it appears the season ends in Juneish? Would love to hit up a game while in Portugal. Do they have like a Ted Lasso type league or something that plays in the summer? I'm early on in my Portugal googling. I know crap about soccer, but Lil SF would love the crap out of a "real" soccer game.
I've not actually pulled the trigger and went to one euro match in my travels either due to timing or price so not much help there but I fell in love with Portugal when I went. Porto and Lisbon were both amazing with the best food I think I've ever had, if you like seafood.
This seems to be the consensus for anyone that has been and a reason it was on my radar. Very excited about the food. Already booked a Rusty recommended spot. Any other tips are appreciated. Staying in Lisbon, but cool to move around and do whatever.
- A Ginjinha - there are stands all over to get a ginjinha shot with a cherry. Some spots put it in an edible chocolate cup. They were a buck and delicious. Ended up bringing back like 4 bottles of ginjinha, didn't used to be able to get in in the US, that may have changed
- Cervejaria Ramiro - seafood place you order stuff by weight and write your order on the table. We completely effed up our order and the waiter just corrected it all and brought us the right weights of what we wanted.
- Baía do Peixe - Cascais - take the city tram over here, it's beachy. This place specifically brings all you can eat cold seafood platters. Literally keep them coming as long as you ask.
- Av. Liberdade - tree lined street park with these awesome unassuming bars all along. Sit down at any of them and grab a bottle of Vihno Verde. Literally like $8 a bottle and so good.
- Sol e Pesca - good place to sit down and try all their different canned fish. I wasn't a big fan but you'll see them in stores everywhere.
- Ponto Final - such a cool place on the water. Try and call and get a reservation, we didn't so we didn't get the coolest spots at the end of the pier but still awesome. Google pics of it.
