** Grammar notes

• Sardinhas, legumes, azeitonas, morangos, pastéis de nata
  Words ending in vowels are made plural by adding an s: azeitona, olive becomes azeitonas, olives.
  Words ending in consonants generally add es: doutor becomes doutores. But there are a few exceptions, for example: l becomes is, as in hotel and its plural hotéis, and m becomes ns, as in jardim, garden and its plural jardins, gardens.

Most towns in Portugal have a regular fresh produce market, Um mercado. They’re excellent places for buying fruit, vegetables, olives and, of course, for the freshest of fish, Peixe, straight from the Atlantic.
