Portuguese cuisine

Food in Portugal is... salty. I have no idea if only me and my friends had bad luck and everywhere where we ate food was too salty for us.

Food in the hotel was good, just good. Everyone was surprised during the first dinner because we got at the dinner - salad, meat and potato crisps. It was really funny because I have never heard about eating crisps for dinner, I treat it like a snack.
Breakfast was really good. We had a selection of food and drinks - coffee, tea, chocolate, fruits, cheese, ham jam, honey, croissants and the best part was - fresh, warm, crisp bread.




Before I came to Portugal I read that Portugal is one of the 3 countries that consume the most fish in the world and Portuguese fish and seafood are delicious and fresh. So it would be strange not try fish there. 
When it comes to a restaurant we ate in a restaurant in Sintra where food was so salty and not very tasty. But we found a really nice restaurant next to the river with an amazing view. Each of us ordered salmon with fries and salad. Still was a little bit salty but very delicious. Service was nice and helpful as well.

In comparison with zoos which I visited Jardim Zoológico de Lisboa looks totally different. Firstly there is a lot of lush vegetation which makes an amazing atmosphere. Secondly, the peacocks which free roam around the zoo. Jardim Zoológico de Lisboa has many interesting nooks with fountains, vegetation, buildings where are old azulejos, these places are great to making pictures. The zoo is located on uneven terrain, many hills, and stairs. Everything creates a unique atmosphere. The zoo is home to around 300 species. The area where animals lives are really big and varied. For instance, lions have a waterfall and many, many hills in their catwalk. Some monkeys lives without cages, from freedom, divided they water. The best part of my trip to Jardim Zo...

Sintra

 Day 2 we spent in Sintra. Before visiting Portugal, I have read a lot of about Sintra. People say that is a very spiritual place, especially castle - Palácio Nacional da Pena. But surrounding made more impression on me than that castle. We came there early so the weather wasn't good, it was foggy - but for me, it made that place more magician and spiritual. The vegetation and colorful castle looked then nice. The center of Sintra looks amazing, I have found many lovely shops, pubs, and cafes.
