由於熱愛喝咖啡的關係, 葡萄牙式咖啡種類跟意式咖啡一樣很多。每種咖啡都有自己專有的名字，弄清楚的話，在葡萄牙點咖啡就容易多了! smile emoticon
Italians are well-known for their culture of drinking coffee. So do the Portuguese too! Restaurants, cafés and, snack bars in big cities and small towns; on main streets and in small alleys: they all serve coffee, as well as food and pastries.
Because Portuguese love coffee so much, they are just like the Italians - there are many variations of coffee drinks available in Portugal and each one has got its own name. Figure out which is which, and you would find ordering a coffee much easier in Portugal.

一些最常見的葡萄牙咖啡飲料 (我不是咖啡專家, 我在這篇小文, 附上在網路上辛苦找來的兩張葡萄牙咖啡種類和它們的成份比例的圖片, 希望幫得到大家):
1) Bica (里斯本叫法) / Cimbalino (波圖叫法): 也即是 espresso (濃縮咖啡), 以一小杯製造而成的味道香厚的濃黑咖啡。
2) Café duplo: 雙濃縮咖啡。
3) Galão: 葡萄牙特色咖啡。是以濃縮咖啡和泡沫牛奶製作, 類似「拿鐵咖啡」。它用高玻璃杯, 以1/4 的咖啡和3/4的泡沫牛奶沖泡而成。配甜點一起吃味道非常好。
4) Garoto (或 Cortado): 是以濃縮咖啡, 再加少量溫熱的牛奶製成, 以降低咖啡裡的酸度。用濃縮咖啡杯盛載, 咖啡跟奶的比例通常是 50/50。
5) Meia de Leite (字面意思是"一半的奶"): 以一份濃縮咖啡跟一份奶製成.
在葡萄牙時, 好好享受各式咖啡! smile emoticon
Some of the most common Portuguese coffee drinks (I'm not a coffee specialist. I have attached to this post two graphs that I found on the internet, depicting the ingredients and their proportions in different types of coffee drinks):
1) Bica (in Lisbon) / Cimbalino (in Porto): It's an espresso / café. A black coffee served in a small espresso cup.
2) Café duplo: Double espresso.
3) Galão: a signature Portuguese style coffee-based drink made from espresso and foamed milk, which is similar to a cafe latte. It comes in a tall glass with about 1/4 of coffee and 3/4 of foamed milk. Excellent to have it with some sweet pastry.
4) Garoto (or Cortado): It's an espresso with a small amount of warm milk to reduce acidity. It has a 50/50 coffee-to-milk ratio in a small espresso cup.
5) Meia de Leite (literally "Half of milk"): One portion of espresso and one portion of milk. The proportion is 1:1.
Enjoy drinking coffee while in Portugal! smile emoticon

聖約翰節以今晚23日最為熱鬧, 節目最豐富。 一連串活動由今天下午展開, 街道上不時有一隊隊穿著民族服裝的表演者, 一邊奏樂唱歌一邊遊行。周圍可見小販在擺賣傳統羅勒盆栽, 康乃馨和塑膠槌仔。塑膠槌仔是聖約翰節的重要標記, 到晚上大約7時開始, 街上男女老幼, 都會用塑膠槌仔敲打對方的頭! 這個起源已經無從稽考, 但可以肯定的是, 如果你沒有一個塑膠槌仔在手, 就只有任人敲打頭殼而全沒還擊之力!
熱鬧過後, 明天下午會舉行一年一度 rabelos 賽船比賽。多艘設計古典優雅的傳統平底木帆船 (barcos rabelos) 會從杜羅河上游的Cabedelo 賽至 Ribeira 的路易斯一世雙層鐵橋。 這種木帆船在過去一直肩負著將一桶桶砵酒從產地 Douro Valley被載到 Ribeira 對岸 Vila Nova de Gaia 區酒莊的任務; 但時移世易, 現在已交由其他更先進便捷的交通公具所取代了。
