Vila Nova de Milfontes

Our plan was to head south west today to a town called Vila Nova de Milfontes but we had one last thing to do before leaving Evora and that was an early walk to Pastelaria Conventual Pao de Rama, a cake shop recommended by our host as the best in town. It certainly offered us a caffeine and sugar spike for our drive west. We stopped on the way at a coastal town called Sines for lunch and grabbed some supplies before getting to Vila Nova de Milfontes to be met by our host Fernando who showed us the way as trying to locate our apartment via GPS can send you around the world. It’s a fairly old apartment but very spacious and it has an unbelievable view from the shared outdoor area that we open onto. We had a small walk along the beach to test the water which being the Atlantic Ocean is fairly cool. Spent the late afternoon admiring the view from our pool area, watching the small ferry go back and forth across the river from below us and having a drink. We think it will be brief posts with no church photos from here as we chill for a day or two.Read more
