The Castles of Portugal - Rooster Camisa

History holds hidden treasures, both large and small. History provides us with long-established lessons and invaluable inspiration. History tells us a story that is best followed when we have a place that holds our attention both intellectually and visually. Castles are not only stunning architectural works of art; they give us one of the best ways to appreciate a country’s history. One of the beautiful things about Portugal is that it presents topographical contrasts. But as is sometimes th

Portuguese Food - Appetizers - Rooster Camisa

In any food discussion amongst the Portuguese regarding favorite dishes and traditional childhood food, it's easy to see why Portuguese food is becoming a more celebrated player in the world’s culinary scene. From the first welcomed first bite of a meal to the savoring of the last morsel of dessert, Portuguese food is as rich and complex as the Portuguese, Açorean, and Madeiran cultures that created it. And it all starts with appetizers! But first, a word of cultural clarification. For thi

Portuguese Food - Main Dish - Rooster Camisa

In a culture that’s as old as that of the Portuguese, there are bound to be complexities in its every aspect. From what is produced to what is consumed, every bit of the Portuguese culture contains nuances dating back hundreds of years. There’s no better place to see that than by enjoying the food of Portugal, the Açores and Madeira. The bad news is that there are so many beautiful dishes and variations of each of them that I would have to fill an entire book to cover those you have to taste

Portuguese Food - Desserts - Rooster Camisa

If there’s one thing that’s universally agreed upon when talking about the Portuguese culture, it is that we are obsessed with our sweets. Well, if truth be told, we’re determined to have our meals be an occasion to be savored, and so our sweets are icing on the cake of that determination. There’s nothing secret about a Portuguese person’s love of sweets and, in fact, there’s a word for it. Guloso (male) and gulosa (female) refer to one who is not ashamed of their sweet tooth.

FLAG OF MADEIRA (Bandeira da Madeira) - Rooster Camisa

A national flag puts forth a message by which a country’s citizens describe their authority, power, and unity. It's a source of pride and serves as a reminder that every country has a history of fighting for its position in the world. This truth is certainly real for the beautiful island of Madeira.

Portuguese Lighthouses - Rooster Camisa

Being a coastal nation comes with the privilege of having stunning borders where land meets the sea. Between Portugal’s mainland, the Açores islands, and Madeira, there are approximately 1,160 miles of beautiful coastline. The many benefits of an extensive coastline come with the vital role of keeping seafarers safe. Thus, it is that the Portuguese have always been faithful keepers of the light with numerous lighthouses. The Portuguese word for a lighthouse is farol, and a small light beacon is

What do the Galo de Barcelos (The Portuguese Good Luck Rooster) and the Irish leprechaun have in common? Well, literally, they have nothing in common, but figuratively, their similarities are surprising. As symbols of their cultures' hope for good luck, in Portuguese stated as boa sorte, they hold an important place in the Portuguese and the Irish people's hearts and imaginations. To learn more about these two, read on my friends and meus amigos!While there remains some dispute of the Celts'

Portuguese Easter Traditions - Rooster Camisa

Portuguese people love to celebrate, of that no secrets have ever been made. With a society as old as the Portuguese, traditions that hold against the test of time are given a sacred place among many other occasions. While some celebrations are based on traditions that stand apart from religion, many of the celebration biggies are centered around religion. Because Portugal remains a country where the Catholic faith is an essential part of the culture, Easter is lived and loved with enth
