Alcochete and the Doces da Vila


Nearby the most important church of Alcochete (the Igreja Matriz),

From Férias Portugal 2012

I have found the delicious toasts and pastries of "Doces da Vila" (Town Sweets)...

My friends took me there telling me that I would enjoy it very much. And so I did! The toasts, for example, are quite and absolutely delicious! Do you see the photo below? Can you believe they call this big toast a half toast?! True!

The quality of the pastry also pleased me very much.The photo below was taken by my friends. On the left side, a pastel de nata, and on the right side, a Doce da Vila. They smelled and tasted really, really good!

If you want to go there, the address is Rua Beato Manuel Rodrigues, nr 9, a street nearby the Miradouro Amália Rodrigues, behind the Igreja Matriz.

I hope you have enjoyed this mini-trip to Alcochete!
If you go there, I'm sure you'll have a splendid day!
A stroll in the morning by the river, taking pictures of the ancient streets and the typical fisherman boats...
A delicious grilled fresh fish in one of the many terraces located in the town's historical center...
A lazy afternoon in the Windmills beach (Praia dos Moinhos)...
An exciting evening in Freeport, the biggest outlet in Europe...
There is plenty to do in Alcochete!
Have fun there!

E quais são os doces recomendados? Pasteis de nata não gosto muito (só os de Belém e quentinhos)... Bjs!

Eu também não gosto muito de Pastéis de Nata, mas os deles são muito bons. No entanto, o que aconselho vivamente são os Doces da Vila. Quentinhos, então, uma maravilha! Eu fui lá tomar o pequeno-almoço e adorei! Bjs! :-)
