The Pasteis de Belém are a speciality of Portuguese sweets. Allcafes and bakeries sell them and they are even in supermarkets!They are delicious!In 1837, in Belém, near the Monastery of Jeronimos, monasteryclerics put up for sale in a shop just a few Pasteis de Belém. At thattime, Belém was far from the city of Lisbon and its access wasensured by steamboats.
