Weekend or day trips in Portugal and Spain

Amarante is famous for it's penis-shaped pastries. Throughout the year, Amarante’s bakeries continue to display and sell these playful phallic cakes, which have become a symbol of the town. Although they were banned in the late 1920s by the Portuguese dictatorship for being “obscene,” the cakes made a triumphant return after the Carnation Revolution in the 1970s and are now more popular than ever.
