About this audio guide
This guide to Casa Piriquita in Sintra begins with a baker's wife behind her counter in the reign of King Carlos the First, a regular customer on his summer holidays in the hills. It follows the couple who opened the bakery in eighteen sixty-two, the medieval cheese tart they sold, and a family recipe hunt during the rationing years of the Second World War. Best heard in the queue outside the corner door on Rua das Padarias.
