【意想不到的美麗 - 小鎮Viseu (維塞烏)】
【Unexpected little charming town - Viseu】


Viseu (維塞烏)這個在葡萄牙中部的小鎮, 未必是第一次去葡萄牙旅遊的朋友會考慮遊覽的 地方 (或者可能有人更會坦白的說, 從來未聽說過這小鎮的名字), 實在, Viseu是一個很具歷史和文化氣息的古鎮。





Viseu is a small town in the central part of Portugal. People who visit Portugal for the first time may not include Viseu in their trips (and probably some people would admit that they haven't even heard of the name of this place). As a matter of fact, Viseu is a town full of history and culture. 

Viseu 在葡萄牙歷史上滿有重要性, 也跟葡萄牙民族英雄Viriato有關連。Viriato 就是在大概公元前149-公元前139年, 帶領路西塔尼亞 (Lusitania) 原著民, 抵抗羅馬帝國軍隊入侵的民族英雄 , 是當時路西塔尼亞民族的領袖。據說他當年就是在維塞烏附近一帶地區出生和居住。城北的Largo da Feira de São Mateus旁邊豎立著的 Viriato銅像, 早在1910年開始就被列為國家遺跡。

The history of Viseu is connected with the Lusitanian hero - Viriato - the leader of the indigenous Lusitanians who resisted and fought the Roman legions during the Roman expansion into the Iberian Peninsula in roughly 149 B.C. to 139 B.C.. Viriato was said to be born and lived in the area around Viseu. There is a bronze statue of Viriato next to Largo da Feira de São Mateus in the northern part of Viseu. It has been a national monument since 1910.

而市內的Praça Dom Duarte廣場, 則聳立著一個葡萄牙國王Dom Duarte 的雕像, 以紀念國王在1391年在維塞烏出生。

And a statue of the Portuguese King Duarte is erected on the square of Praça Dom Duarte, commemorating the birth of the King in Viseu in 1391.

【里斯本新派素菜館 @PSI Restaurante Vegetariano】
[Vegetarian food in Lisbon]

之前談過, 里斯本有不少素菜館。我雖不是素食者, 但都想見識一下葡萄牙素菜館的質素如何, 所以去過一兩間。今次想介紹一間是在里斯本頗有名氣而且已經營多年的素菜館, 我去過兩次, 都因為它的食物質素和寧靜舒適的環境。餐廳周圍被樹木包圍, 餐廳前更有一個小魚池, 氣氛恬靜。特別一提, 這素菜館開幕時得西藏精神領袖達賴喇嘛剪綵。




給大家一個參考: 中午套餐: 湯 + 主菜 + 茶, 價錢大概11-12歐元。有時間大家可去試試, 反正在葡萄牙吃得海鮮和肉多, 轉口味吃素菜對身體好。

I have mentioned in a post before that there are many vegetarian restaurants in Lisbon. I'm not a vegetarian or a vegan, but I do want to taste the vegetarian food in Lisbon and see how good they are. This time I'd like to recommend one that I have been twice before - for its excellent food quality and tranquil environment.

The restaurant is surrounded by trees. The garden in front of the restaurant has a pond with ducks, turtles and carps swimming happily. The restaurant was inaugurated by Dalai Lama.
As a reference: a lunch menu with soup + main dish + tea costs around 11-12 euros.

近來又回復忙碌狀態, 卻突然想起有讀者問過我, 可否介紹在里斯本的素菜館。現在想起了問題卻又找不到是誰問過, 真的很抱歉。

里斯本很多餐廳都提供素菜選擇, 而有些素菜館的質素也很好。如有人有興趣想知的話, 我可寫一點, 推薦一間, 不過不知道大家對素食可有興趣 (因為大家來葡萄牙玩, 我推想, 最想吃的可能會是海鮮、蛋撻之類)。

[Live @Matosinhos ~ freshly grilled sardines for lunch]

離開波圖市, 只需搭地鐵, 半小時就來到沿海小鎮Matosinhos, 以漁業為主, 鎮內有很多間以新鮮打撈回來即煮海鮮的餐廳, 而且價錢不昂貴, 在波圖市遊玩之餘可考慮來Matosinhos 走走。


除鮮美海鮮外, 這裡更有一個大海灘, 先暢泳一番再來海鮮餐就perfect了。


Only 30 minutes by metro from Porto brings you to the small fishing village of Matosinhos - famous for its freshly caught and cooked seafood. Apart from its delicious seafood, don't forget to have a swim at the big beach here. At least stroll along the seaside for a while even if you are not a beach goer. You'd enjoy the place.

[Live ~ A bus trip which passes through the Alto Douro area]

這次巴士之旅是意想不到的 - 途經上杜羅河谷, 繞經無數種植葡萄的葡萄園山丘, 眼前的盡是葡萄園優美風光, 而巴士費卻不需4歐。

This bus trip offers some exceptional and awesome scenery of the Alto Douro Valley. And the bus fare is less than €4.00, bringing me from Vila Real to Régua.

[Live @Vila Real ~ Enjoying galão & pastries at historical café]
從1925年開業, 這間甜點店/咖啡館是本地人和旅客們喜愛光顧之地, 夏天來到, 餐廳外的露天座位更是座無虛設, 非常熱鬧。

此店其中熱賣是 Cristas de Galo (名字由來是因甜點外貌像公雞的雞冠)和Covilhetes (是鹹點!), 都是Vila Real這帶地方的名物。


還好我到時, 時間還早, 座位很多, 未到11am, 就裡面和露天座位都坐滿人了, 厲害。

Established in 1925, this café is popular among locals and tourists. Cristas de Galo and Covilhetes are some of the typical pastries of the region of Vila Real.

When I arrived, there were many empty seats to choose from; but just before 11am, all seats inside and outside have all been taken.

A pleasant Saturday morning.
