Pastries of Portugal


Pastries of Portugal
Originally uploaded by randubnick.

Here is a sweet memory of Portugal's amazing pastry! (My favorite, natas, are third row from the top, center.) I love the little pastry shops with their careful arrangements in glass cases. This picture could have been taken in any number of bakery shops, but this one was in Costa Nova Ilhava, south of Porto, where the houses are painted with vertical stripes. (I will post photos of the town itself in the near future.) I had to do some editing of the original photo (composition, saturation, brightness) so that the image would do justice to the pastries of Portugal.
