Idanha-a-Velha…Good Coffee starts here
Around these parts the border is porous and exactly where Portuguese villages become Spanish is lost among the cork tree forests (and in today’s Europe so is the point). Sometimes the little white houses are fringed with blue sometimes yellow but walk through the immense walls and past the Visigothic church and into a bar and the confusion ends. Even in this quiet stony little village of 79 people the difference is clear, or should I say… black. Long a source of contraband across the Sierra de Gata into Spain, Portuguese coffee is just…better. Order one and see.
