(Recipe for Churros at the end of the post)

Olhão is another beautiful market town on our Portuguese adventure route. It has stunning market buildings and a great market. The inside market is open every day, but the outside market is only there on Saturdays. Both are well worth visiting.

It’s a great place to sit and people watch with a glass of Galeo (spelling?!), the Portuguese milk coffee and a piece of Churro – especially if you cycled in to town…! Churro is not a favorite of mine, but it is much loved in Spain and Portugal. It’s basically deep fried dough rolled in sugar while still hot. Vile if you ask me, but you didn’t did you?!
