Wandered Tavira’s cobblestone streets, crossed its bridges, snuck a quick look at the castle. Dinner outdoors with street music drifting by. Tavira is a full-blown feast of history and culture but we only got a nibble.

Cathedral bells and dome with fortress in the background

Castle of Castro Marim with two other buildings

Saltbeds in Castro Marim

Street lined with traditional Algarve homes

Castro Marim 🇵🇹
Once an island fortress with Phoenician & Roman layers.

The saltpans are just as old.
Locals harvested “white gold” for centuries while the crown skimmed 25% off the top.

Some things change. Some things stay salty. 🧂

Bone Chapel at the Igreja da Nossa Senhora do Carmo

Field Notes from Faro 🇵🇹

Hungry Culture hits southern Portugal.

Barrinha Beach then Igreja do Carmo: A baroque fever dream dripping in stolen Brazilian gold, creepy doll heads, and a bone chapel of 1,200 monk skulls.

Memento mori. More to come.

Facade of an old building made of stone

The Arab Wall of Talavera de la Reina

La Cárcel de la Santa Hermandad de Talavera de la Reina

El Arco en Trujillo where you can find cheese, wine, ham and artisanal snacks

Hungry Culture is on the road to Portugal. Quick stops in Talavera de la Reina and Trujillo reminded us that Spain never gets boring. Even a drive-by can turn into a story.

Three young women dressed as chalupas wear bright blue sleeveless tops with ruffled necklines and tight yellow polka-dot skirts. The skirts fall to the floor with layers of colourful ruffles starting at the knee, mostly hiding their feet.

Yesterday marked the end of the San Isidro festivities y las chalupas… They didn’t come to play; they came to slay!

Close-up of a colorful display of rosquillas stacked in rows—white, pink, orange, and green varieties. The foreground features white-glazed and pink-glazed donuts labeled “Blanquita” and “Fresa” with neon yellow signs, evoking a retro market vibe.

Not all rosquillas are created equal. Some are fluffy little halos of fried joy. Others… are holy drywall in frosting cosplay. Choose wisely, friends. 🙏
