First off, it was almost impossible to decide WHAT pastries to try because the all looked amazing. Wifey ordered a pastry called Delicia do Convento and I had an Encharcada which is another egg custard recipe. Both were, as expected, amazing. The Portuguese really know how to do pastries. While we saw an amazing and really old monastery in Alcobaça, the half-hour we spent chatting, drinking espresso and tasting pastries was pretty awesome. Pastelaria Alcoa is definitely a place to stop!

You can eat them by the spoonful or in these delicate wafer confections. These are shaped like boats, or kegs, or shells. They are a speciality of Aveiro in central Portugal. This place, Peixinho, is the oldest in Aveiro since 1856. We stopped in and got the little boats and shells. They disappeared too fast. But I snuck out a picture. If you're in Aveiro go there. And indulge.
