Yesterday marked the end of the San Isidro festivities y las chalupas… They didn’t come to play; they came to slay!
#sanisidro #hungryculture
Three young women dressed as chalupas wear bright blue sleeveless tops with ruffled necklines and tight yellow polka-dot skirts. The skirts fall to the floor with layers of colourful ruffles starting at the knee, mostly hiding their feet.

I spent a day in a town called Cuntis.
Yes, that’s the name. No, I couldn’t resist.
The promise? Culture, folklore, and ladies dancing to bagpipes.

Not all rosquillas are created equal. Some are fluffy little halos of fried joy. Others… are holy drywall in frosting cosplay. Choose wisely, friends. 🙏

Wandered Tavira’s cobblestone streets, crossed its bridges, snuck a quick look at the castle. Dinner outdoors with street music drifting by. Tavira is a full-blown feast of history and culture but we only got a nibble.

Castro Marim 🇵🇹
Once an island fortress with Phoenician & Roman layers.

The saltpans are just as old.
Locals harvested “white gold” for centuries while the crown skimmed 25% off the top.

Some things change. Some things stay salty. 🧂

Field Notes from Faro 🇵🇹

Hungry Culture hits southern Portugal.

Barrinha Beach then Igreja do Carmo: A baroque fever dream dripping in stolen Brazilian gold, creepy doll heads, and a bone chapel of 1,200 monk skulls.

Memento mori. More to come.

Hungry Culture is on the road to Portugal. Quick stops in Talavera de la Reina and Trujillo reminded us that Spain never gets boring. Even a drive-by can turn into a story.

Raging bulls and acrobatics: this is what happens when circus meets the bullring. Sanse’s recortes.... art, sport, or purely barbaric? You be the judge.

Spent the weekend watching people celebrate 1,000-year-old laws that put modern “democracy” to shame.
