21kms walk this morning, half an hour lunch and we are off again to attempt our second walk of the day.
No TV, bliss, well not quite
From the outset neither of us was keen on taking UK TV with us, but that is not to say we don’t watch anything.
They are actually getting better
Well, we are gradually making our way out of Portugal and we have left, what we thought were going to be the best walks, to the end, because of their length and because of their location, inland and close to the mountains.
Dereliction
A village on its last legs? Cachopo is small, cute and noisy, but is it going the same way as the abandoned village, Roche Amarela, we visited a few days ago?
A bit of isolation
The Algarve has been a disappointment so far, we need to find somewhere away from the coast, a little more rural, but also the weather is getting better. Perhaps things are improving.
Hoopee, motorways, windmills and villas
We arrived late at the aire last night, this was a wild west inspired site, and should have had electricity and Wi-Fi. But at 6-30pm everything was closed. They were all either in bed, or watching TV via their satellites.
Abandonment
We are getting into the more remote parts of Portugal and the Algarve. This is a marked improvement on the touristic crap on the coast, but as you get more remote you also step back in time, sometimes too far.
Infamous place
Walk no 7 on the Ciceron’s guide – Praia da Luz to Salema
Today we are walking along the coast.
Dora needs some loving
Generally Dora has been pretty good. She has given us some headaches and stress, but nothing really major. Was this about to change?
It feels more like a hill to us
Walk no 9 on the Ciceron’s guide – Slopes of Foia
We are about to attempt our sixth walk in the Algarve. Today we are in the village of Monchique and about to climb the highest peak in the Algarve, Foia (902m).
