Day 13

And for fun...

July 12, 2017, Ribeiro das Eiras Ruivas ⋅ 🌙 26 °C

Although we mostly stayed at the Quinta (the farm), we had a few outings. Beside the weekly grocery run, on Sundays we also went to some local flea markets combined with a trip to the local beaches in Fuseta, Sao Bras and Olhao.

A few weeks into our stay the Tavira Film Festival started. It was an open air theater in the court yard of an old monastery. We saw some alternative films such as Dersu and Amasan, but the best were:
- Toni erdmann - absolutely hilarious https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0uwi5EPnpA
- O Grande Fusi - inspirational https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q34DavoaEdE
- The eagle huntress - just really cool https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vfi5JS6HTH0

We were also able to do a bit of work for Horta das Canas, a guesthouse just down the road. There we could jump in the pool and borrow some mountainbikes. We biked to the top of a nearby hill with the ruins of an old windmill, just in time for a beautiful sunset.Read more
