Another stunning drive from our last stop in Spain across the border into Portugal. We dropped around 600m in height and most of the roads were through vast forested areas. The temperature has risen by a few degrees although there are still periods of rain. Tonight's stopover is on an aire pretty much in the centre of town, with well laid out pitches, sinks and washing up areas, picnic tables and a brick BBQ. It's located right next to a largish river with small falls and rapids, fairly fast flowing and quite noisy but soothing at the same time.
We will move on today towards the West Coast and will drop out of the mountains to hopefully warmer (and drier) weather.Læs mere

It was about an hours drive to get to this aire and we dropped another 400m in altitude. The temperature got warmer although the roads continued to be her narrow and winding. We passed through some unique little villages built into the hillsides, perched I places that you just wonder how!
We are parked up next to a small restaurant and intend to pop in tonight for dinner.
We took a stroll around the interesting town which is a mix of modern and very old builds and the locals are very friendly. Dinner was very good with a chicken soup starter, salad, braised lamb, desert, coffee and a carafe of wine. All for the princely sum of €8 each.Læs mere

Arrived around 2.30 to quite misty surroundings however it feels pretty warm. Before we do anything we are sitting down to a lunch of ham & cheese baguette and minestrone soup. Feeling a little tired today so maybe just a short walk later before a movie or Netflix box set evening.
Woke this morning to the sun shining and the sound of the waves crashing on the beach. Pretty big waves too which is why this place is known as a good surfing spot. It's a great location and we have sea views from the motorhome so may spend a few days here before continuing south.
After a walk on the beach and coffee with pastel de nata at the nearest cafe, the afternoon was spent sitting in the sunshine reading and rock painting.
It's been a good few days here, we even celebrated our wedding anniversary here, but today we have decided to move on. Probably not far, just down the coast a few miles so we can explore the area more.Læs mere

Fatima
15. november 2019, Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 9 °C
Woke up to a small hail shower this morning but it had cleared by the time we were ready to pack up. Services done (water, waste etc) off we went towards Fatima, with a planned stop at a motorhome accessories shop. Could do with new wire shelves for the oven. Arrived at 12.30 only to find it closed. Sat nav had a bit of a meltdown on the way, losing satellite reception, sending us down dead ends and finally putting us on a toll road even though we have them banned in the settings. Still all part of the fun. Arrived at the aire just in time for lunch.
There's free hot showers and a toilet block here, not bad for a free car park in the centre of town. Behind us is the The Sanctuary of Our Lady Fatima, quite and impressive building from a distance, breath taking once inside.Læs mere

Jayne had heard about a torch lit mass for Fatima that is held at 9.30 it the church which we decided to attend, and although not religious it was quite a moving event with probably 1000 or more people there.
Impressive during the day the church becomes even more so at night.Læs mere

Drive By Location. (Sao Martinho)
16. november 2019, Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C
This morning we headed for the aire at Alcobaca in leiria, on the edge of town with all the services plus free shower block and electric. Not a space was to be had, it was packed with full timers and a couple if the vans must have had 12-15 kids running around. Not really our type of place so we put another destination into the sat nav. Only 40 minutes away but half hour into the drive we came through Sao Martinho do Porto a stunning small town overlooking a large bay with miles if golden sand. Just on the edge of town is a little parking spot so we have decided to camp down here for the night. This is what travelling is all about, finding little gems like this.Læs mere

After a very peaceful evening,watching the sun set over the hills and the reflection of the town shimmering off the sea, this morning we headed 2 minutes along the coast to a place found on the app park4night. A cross between an aire and a motorhome park. Today is a bit of an admin day, cleaning the inside of the van, a bit of doby and some time to just do nothing before deciding on our next location.
This afternoon has a bit of a downturn. The day started bright enough but by lunch we had a few showers. All was well as it was still warm and I was sat out side under the awning reading until the wind changed direction during one light shower and started to blow the rain under the awning. In I went to continue reading as a really strong gust snapped the legs and fixing mounts and collapsed the wind out awning. #*@*. Luckily the canopy still retracts and we were able to stow it safely, but that's going to cost!
Rest of the day was spent doing not much except watch the weather deteriorate. Oh well there's always tomorrow.Læs mere

Only a 15 minute drive from the last location and glad we did. Great spot overlooking a large lagoon. Nice little town although it is uphill but within a few minutes walk of the site there are a few nice bars and resturants.Læs mere

Last night was spent watching the fishermen in the bay and the glorious sunset, while this morning Jayne cooked a full English (if you can call it that when it includes portugese sausage and spanish bacon) before taking a walk along the beach. We will be spending another night here, although the weather today isn't as warm or sunny as it was yesterday, however the location is amazing.
Woke this morning, Wednesday we woke , to glorious sunshine so have decided to stay here another day. Breakfast done time for a walk along the beach then maybe coffee and cakes at one of the beachfront cafe's.Læs mere

So still here 2 days after we said we were going to move on. Its difficult to leave this place as it's just so chilled. The scenery is stunning and there's some lovely bars within a few minutes walk. We need to get our acts together and carry on with our exploring.
Today was another good day weather wise so we took a walk into the village for a coffee (and cake) then watched the sunset from one of the beach bars.Læs mere
