Oxala Restaurante - Ovar Portugal

Image
 Oxala Restaurante in Ovar Portugal by far is the best food I ate all vacation. Not a sponsored video but when you are doing something right, I am definitely calling you out. Excellent service different food options for all types of people. (Seafood, Steaks and Salads) Great wine list and experienced staff that know what they are doing. I want you to know anyone who is reading this and watching the video even thought this was my favorite restaurant. Based on (food, options, location and yes class) all the other restaurants I've visited so far has been great eats all around. Presentation and Taste are key! Next time I visit I would like to try eating at night I feel like this will be a different experience. 

Sunday Lunch - Xavega Mar

Image
 Xavega Mar Marisqueira. It's the second time I went to eat at this restaurant and the food is just delicious. Here is the video the first time I ate there.  Scroll down to see todays video. Just a reminder it is a good idea to call to make a reservation so you can get a table as soon as you get there especially during the summer season. That said they will still give you a table with no reservation, but you might have to wait. As of right now twice I went I never did a reservation, and the wait time was less than 5 minutes in matter-of-fact Sunday Lunch there was no wait time, and we ate outside. Let's go see the video. So, I had a guest, and it was my Tia who lives in Portugal. We had a really amazing day at Xavega Mar and hanging out in Torreira. We also went to the beach bar after a few hours and meet a few locals who were also hanging out in Torreira. This was also, Pre Sao Paio vendors were starting to tent up and sell food and etc. 

Pre Sao Paio 2022

 Pre Sao Paio 2022 A little back story:     I keep struggling when it comes to record with my GoPro. Fact, GoPro is an action camera and is used what I call transition clips to add to a video where maybe you used a DSLR or a Mirror-Less camera or even a phone. I've seen other Youtubers post GoPro videos and the audio is fantastic. I came to the conclusion that it has to be because they are using a "better" GoPro (7 or higher). If anyone has an opinion or an idea, please share. So, Torreira was getting ready for the biggest party of the year. Sao Paio. Hundreds of thousands of people come from all over Portugal some even camp out in tents and RV's. Sao Paio is about a week of events from FOOD | MUSIC | VENDORS and so forth.  As you can see, I had to put music to cover up some of the distortion of the audio. I wasn't able to remove it in post. Before giving up on GoPro I will probably give it one more chance and consider in upgrading it to a better on. So, Pre Sao P...

Torreira Portugal - Day Trip

Image
 Torreira Portugal, what can I say?  I enjoy going there for-food cafes and etc. But Torreira just stopped back in Time. Please listen up...don't JUDGE ME until you read the bottom of this.  I love going to Torreira beach, food and etc I mean just look at the few videos I posted of where I ate. Torreira just stopped developing and growing. There's no competition between bars and restaurants. You have 2 major stops to eat and a few cafes and that's it. It was summertime and I felt that the area was 60% full of people. Don't get me wrong during Sao Paio it was 200% and you guys can be the judge of that once you see my video coming soon.  You will see in the future video of another beach I went to and how full the beach was. This beach had bars on the boardwalk and music and that calls attention and outsiders to come and unfortunately Torreira doesn't have it. With all that said I still like Torreira and recommend anyone to come and visit Torreira and #visitmurtosa for...

Praca De Pardelhas

 Praca De Pardelhas - Flea Market. Every Thursday in Pardelhas we have a Flea Market where people sell goods from clothing, food, live animals, and homemade goods. From food, clothing, furniture, tools and etc. \ I don't like to compare it to America Flea Markets because here in the States a lot of the stuff people sell here is used. For example, used tools, used home goods (plates, pots and etc.).  We also have food and vegetables. Collectable items and knives.  Click on the video. I hope you enjoy it. 

O Bico Restaurant

 O Bico Restaurant.  So, if you have been following my Portugal videos, you know I had a fail when I went to Bico on Monday, and it was closed. So a few days later we ended up going to Bico. Bico is one of my favorite local spots to eat. And you eat well.  Click and see the video on top you won't regret seeing the video. The only thing you will regret is not being able to eat the food. It became a tradition for me to eat soup everywhere I went. Not because I was sick or cold and just became something I did. Love it!  ENJOY!
