Our last day in Porto was damp, cold and rainy. Our main objective was to see the bookstore.
We took a few pictures and then went out for a nice dinner at a traditional Portuguese restaurant .
Leaving for Tavira
2 Nisan 2023, Portekiz
This is an early start. Our train is scheduled to leave at 05:32. We Uber to the train station and don’t see it listed on the departures. There is nobody around to ask about the status of our train.Okumaya devam et
Wow, we love Tavira!

Tavira is a charming former fishing village. It also has a castle, so I guess that makes it important as well.

Seven Hanging Valley’s Hike

After a 50 minute drive to the trailhead at Praia de Vole Centianes, six hikers are guided by Nuna. He lives in the region and conveys his knowledge of the area in two languages, French and English.Okumaya devam et

Bengal beach. The hike is scenic but slower than Dianne and I like to go. We stop a lot and Nuna talks about the sights. He has to say things in two languages so it can be long winded.
Still hiking…Alfanzina Lighthouse

We have covered around half the distance for the day. It is around 25 degrees. A faster pace would be great.

Praia da Marinha

Finally at the end. The hike was about 9 kilometre and it took over 5 1/2 hours. Great views and scenery but we stood around a lot.

Lagos is very different from Tavira. More big city but very much a beach town. Lots of beach activities; swimming, boating, paddle boarding, kayaking to name a few. Locals are very friendly andOkumaya devam et

Pretty coastline as you can see. This was a nice trip with little fanfare. No long winded safety briefing, no sales pitch for anything. Just the facts.

I said there were a few pictures! It was pretty cool as the ocean was a little rough and our captain no difficulty maneuvering us into and out of the caves, sometimes it made for quite a ride, for meOkumaya devam et
Afternoon of browsing
