The temperature has reached around 30 degrees the past two days so I’ve been treating myself with some relaxing beach days at São Pedro beach north of Lisbon, just a few stops after Carcavelos beach (3.60 euro return ticket). Super nice beach but be aware of the sea’s rocky bottom. Great place to spend time, but it’s not the biggest beach so it gets crowded quite quickly in the early afternoon. The water was a lot warmer than the other day and less wind, which I’m very happy about. On the way back Joanna (my flat mate) and I stopped in Belém to have lunch and watch one of Bordalo II’s street sculptures next to Centro Cultural de Belém. Bordalo uses trash to form towering 3D murals of animals on the streets of Lisbon. Super cool street art.
We had lunch at Queijadas de Belém, and we tried their Pastéis de Bacalhau (with a mix of cod fish and potatoes inside). Hmmm my old school mates can probably recall the fish burgers that the school cafeteria served? Well, that’s kind of how the tasted.
