I think so. And Cabo de São Vicente as well.

Portugal has a beautiful sail training ship called the Sagres as I recall.

It is a gorgeous ship. It's one of the two large sailing ships in the Portuguese Navy, used as sailing "schools" I believe. The other one is called the "Creola", and it also has four masts:

Tall masted ships are beautiful and this one particularly so.

The spooky coincidences keep on coming. On Thursday evening I got to drink a glass or two of Sagres beer.

I'm in the UK briefly. Probably can get it in OZ, though. I've seen it in a East Timor.

East Timor makes sense, and the UK does have a large Portuguese community. How did you like Sagres?Smile

Noroomtaomove, I don't think there are any native Portuguese tea brands, but I'll look that up for you...Smile
