Festival Lights

Ep took this picture, she zoomed in, trying to catch me going over the bridge. She missed me but caught our best view of the Church at Amarante. That was our first evening, we were having our first meal, it was on the balcony overlooking the Rio Tamega. Traditional Portugese food means large quantities! It took us a whole week to find a way of getting less. It comes on a big platter with huge portions of fish or meat - enough for a family of four. The cost was around £10 each but this included starters, wine, dessert and coffee. The wine was mostly vino verde, served cold; we preferred "branco" to "tinto".
