Hunting flour outside Lisbon. A super day trip with kids

We have been working on improving our bread since we arrived in Portugal. 

There is nothing wrong with it. According to our friends and guests it’s among the best in town. 

I am not happy with it – its good – but with the right flour it will be much better.

Last week we got the name of the mill where Filipe who is chef at Taberna do Mar gets his flour. We called them right away and arranged a meeting.

We went there Friday.

Then visit was such a positive surprise that we decided to take the rest of the day off – and instead visit the countryside from Cabeços, Alenquer where the Farinhas Paulina Hortas is to the Atlantic coast where we decided go to the beach and stay the night in Ericeira where our Italian friend runs a small restaurant with Italian classics.
