That looks almost like a yeast dough from the way he is handling it, but it isn't, is it? Very yummy.

Goodness me but this is a day of posts about delicious camino deserts. First @J Willhaus posted her beautiful Burnt Basque Cheesecake in the Where Did You Walk Locally thread and now this one (Thank you Laurie!!) For a trio we need a good Flan post.

I've been trying for 7 years to make a decent tortilla.

I bought what was advertised as a "pastel de nata" at a local grocery store a few days ago, said to be flown in from Portugal. I heard a couple of bakery employees discussing when they would be thawed, which seemed like an unfortunate occurence for pastry, but I bought one anyway. The filling was tasty, but the pastry so tough that it was quite challenging to get my teeth through it. I guess that I should detour from Spain to Portugal one day, to find out what they really should taste like when at home.

Pasteis de nata are so more-ish
We have a local baker who buys them in from a skilled woman (Portuguese) who lives locally.
Apparently she makes about 50 - 100 each day. (for one small town!)
They are delicious

Thanks, Laurie!
I loved watching the way the woman was handling the dough - food made with love!!

I ate at least one pasteis de nata every day on the camino from Lisbon - but nowhere do they taste as good as the ones from Belem. It is the pastry that is different. It is utterly delicious!

Aurélio took us during a city tour in Lisbon to another bakery not far from the Rossio station in the center of the town where the pasteís de nata tasted as good as in Belém and the advantage was that we did not need to line up with the crowds to get in and buy some.

Here in Australia, you can even buy them in Woolworths if you want. But they are nothing compared with those in Belém

Share! If you can remember the address. I may be in Lisbon in April.

I have been there with him, too. It‘s Pastelaria Paço Real, Rua da Conceição.

It’s near the intersection of Conceição and Rua da Prata. They have a very nice stamp in the shape of a sardine. Note from me: I had misremembered and originally wrote that the stamp was in the shape of a peacock, which is what Paço Real means in Portuguese). It’s definitely a small family operation, with excellent pastries and good home cooking. I’ve been back with my husband on non-walking trips several times.

It is also around the corner from a family run, clean, basic, pensao called Pensao da Prata. It is a great central location for touring Lisbon, and about a 12 minute walk from the cathedral and the Santiago Church, where you will start to walk if you start in Lisbon.

Heads up on the pasteis de nata — the Pastelaria de Belém is the only place I know of where they are served hot. There is a big debate about whether these should be served hot or cold, so you will get the chance to enter that debate if you try some in-town places.

A Canadian Pilgrim friend is at the moment getting a lesson how to make them, in Lisbon/Bellem.

It’s near the intersection of Conceição and Rua da Prata. They have a very nice stamp with a peacock (which is the name of their pastelaria in Portuguese). It’s definitely a “hole in the wall” kind of place, with excellent pastries and good home cooking. I’ve been back with my husband on non-walking trips several times.
