Sandrines

After leaving the pleasant seaside town of Esposende, the Caminho Português da Costa takes an inland detour through some coastal marshes, and after a pleasant day of hiking we ended up in the small town of Castelo do Neiva, staying in one of the most elaborate and luxurious hotels of our Portugal trip, the Quinta do Monteverde, a 17th century manor house with large outdoor gardens and pools. The Quinta’s innkeeper pointed us at two feasible options for dinner: Picanha Brasil Oficial, a Brazilian BBQ place, and O Tasco Regional, a wine and tapas bar. We opted for the latter, heading up to the top of the hill in Castelo do Neiva.
