I’m getting caught up on your posts and the note about the Palacio’s construction being delayed for so long made me think that maybe nothing’s changed over the years in the world of Portuguese construction!? 😆

I really enjoyed this post. Your comment about the cork maker's ability to be within one millimeter by eye reminds me of an old cheesemaking monastery I visited one time. I asked for a kilogram wedge from a wheel of cheese, they guy made no measurements, sliced the wedge and the scale read 1.0kg on the dot. Of the whole operation that's what stuck with me.
