Oporto reminds me of Florida. Although I am not yet retired, one can live here as such... Just to give you an example: from Povoa de Varzim to Miramar, within greater Oporto, you have a choice of 50 kilometers of sandy beaches facing the Atlantic.
At seaside resort Povoa de Varzim, 23 October 2008, having dinner with Fernando Costa Lima at Petisqueira A Barca we had a splendid Açorda de Ovas de Peixe-Galo alongside the very same locally catched and grilled John Dory fish (also know as São Pedro, Gal or Doree).
It matched perfectly with a superb red Cortes de Cima, Alentejo, 2000. Cortes de Cima is a family owned and run vineyard and winery located in Alentejo, Southern Portugal.
