Costa de Lavos where we are at the moment is quite different a small seaside village and it is just residential. No apartments, no hotels just houses. The Aire takes about 50 vans the Motorhomers out number the locals. One shop 3 restaurants and a couple of bars brilliant for chilling out. Just had a superb meal.

Might have to say goodnight now failing fast after a huge meal & nearly a litre of wine, she had 1½ glasses I had to drink the other 6. ?

Last time I said they were clams you told me they were cockles.
I googled them this time before posting so you wouldn't pull me up.
I give up. :D

Perhaps you had cockles last time, clams have smooth shiny shells, cockles have serrated dull shells and much nicer in my opinion but the Portuguese are big on the ameijoa:)

Oh well it was shellfish, they were shiny shells but quite large I thought clams were much smaller well they are in the UK.

Pork and clams is very nice, if you like shellfish have you tried Arroz de Marisco or Arroz de Polvo, both can be excellent, add piri piri if you like things hot, lots of coriander.

32 Euros.

You will find that Foz do Arelho is a bit more touristy. Walk along the board walk towards the ocean until you get to a beach bar/restaurant called Cas de Praia. They do a good Bacalhau. And a nice place to sit and watch the world go by at the weekend.

Wasn't coriander on our meal looks just like it but it's not, very mild flavour by comparison, only seem to get it in Portugal. Girl tried to explain about it to us.
