On the last day of our February holiday in the Algarve we walked around Faro town.
It began to rain and we saw an Irish bar. Like an oasis in the desert or manna from Heaven. We walked inside.
The girl behind the bar was Portuguese and was lovely and could
not do enough for us and made us most welcome.
She poured me a pint of the black stuff. Exactly like it's poured here in Ireland.
My pint of Guinness was 5 Euros. You would pay at least 6 Euros here in Ireland. Crazy isn't it?
I always like going in Irish and English pubs when I am abroad.
Looks like Banksy got there before you!
ReplyDeleteHe was probably having an holiday? A Banksy holiday perhaps JayCee?😄
ReplyDeleteThe perfect hang out on a rainy day. The best of home with a Portuguese taste
ReplyDeleteExactly Linda. We always feel at home in Portugal. The Irish pub was the icing on the cake.
ReplyDeleteOther than Dublin the only Irish pub I have been was in Philadelphia, the atmosphere like I Dublin was brilliant, I didn't try the liquid black stuff.
ReplyDeleteYou get a good welcome and great food in Irish pubs anywhere Marlene. I once went in one in Calais and none of the Oirish pub staff spoke English just French. They understood our gesticulating large and small beers and laughed.
