O diretor da escola da minha filha, depois de ver o estado que a miúda estava ontem porque tinha a nota “suspensa”, hoje teve o cuidado de ligar a informar a nota de português assim que a recebeu. Sei que o fez a mais pessoas. Os professores valem ouro. Obrigado a todos.

Uma família super rica quer usar uma lei do século XIX para tirar as praias da Arrábida ao povo de Setúbal. Engana-se. Que grande movimento. #DeslarrrguemaArrábida
As praias não estão à venda. As praias são do povo.

Coincidence or a major scheduling advantage? 🤔

Unmissable. Porto is unique.

[𝕏 Travels, Hotels and Resorts @em3dia]

Porto is an absolute masterpiece of local gastronomy. Here, food is not a delicate, multi-course performance behind closed doors; it is a loud, fiercely traditional lifestyle centered around hot iron presses, slow-simmering pork cauldrons, and cold glasses of local Super Bock beer. To navigate this legendary underworld like a seasoned resident, you must leave generic hotel buffers behind and disappear into the narrow, shadow-lined stone tascas where multi-generational families have gathered for decades.

Your immersive carbohydrate pilgrimage should naturally anchor at the historic threshold of ⁠Casa Guedes Tradicional. While the brand has expanded into a few modern, polished branches across the city, savvy travelers skip the contemporary dining rooms and make a definitive line for the original, weathered wooden counter on Praça dos Poveiros.

This is the birthplace of the legendary sandes de pernil, a spectacular creation featuring a mountain of slow-roasted, insanely succulent pork leg that has been marinated for hours in a secret bath of garlic, white wine, and local laurel leaves. The tender meat is carved directly onto a rustic, crusty roll and blanketed with a thick, melting wedge of raw-milk Serra da Estrela sheep's cheese. The rich, funky, and intensely gooey cheese pairs masterfully with the savory pork oils. For a true stroke of culinary genius, ask the counter master to slide in a layer of their deeply sweet, caramelised bacon, creating a magnificent masterclass in sweet-and-savory contrast.

Once your pork baseline is established, navigate the cobblestones toward the historic counter of Cervejaria Gazela. For decades, this tiny, high-energy snack bar has been fueling the city's artists and laborers with its signature creation: the Cachorrinho. Bypassing the standard, soft bun layouts of an American hot dog, Gazela uses an incredibly thin, artisanal baguette. The bread is split open, packed with spicy cured linguiçasausage, fresh pork sausage, and a heavy layer of local cheese, before being locked inside a heavy, high-pressure industrial iron press. The sandwich is toasted until the bread develops a beautiful, micro-thin glass-like crunch and the cheese fully caramelizes against the hot iron. Slashed into bite-sized finger portions right on the wooden cutting board and drenched in a fiery, house-infused piri-piri oil, every single crunch delivers an explosive wave of heat and salt. Because this spot is globally famous and features limited seating, arriving exactly as the lunch doors swing open is an absolute non-negotiable requirement.

As your food crawl moves toward the bustling transit tracks of the São Bento station, your next mandatory stop is the unpretentious, neon-lit sanctuary of ⁠O Astro. This is a premier bastion of the authentic, northern-style Bifana. Unlike the southern versions found down in Lisbon, which lean toward dry, pan-fried pork loin pieces, Porto’s bifana is a gloriously messy, slow-simmered event.

At O Astro, paper-thin ribbons of pork are kept continuously dancing inside a massive, volcanic copper pot of bubbling lard, local beer, white wine, and crushed garlic. The chef scoops the dripping, ultra-tender meat directly into a soft, airy papo-seco roll, using a spoon to drench the entire interior crumb in the spicy, deeply savory cooking liquor. Finish off your sandwich marathon by hunting down the rustic stone façade of Tasca do Luís. This local institution operates with a beautiful, zero-frills simplicity: there are no dining tables or chairs here. Instead, you squeeze up to the crowded bar to order their legendary Panado Sandwich, a giant, hand-tenderized pork cutlet that is heavily seasoned, coated in fine breadcrumbs, and flash-fried until it achieves a jaw-dropping, golden-brown crunch. Slapped cleanly into a soft bread roll, it represents the absolute pinnacle of Portuguese street food.
