• Vila Nova de Milfontes day 2

    October 21, 2024 in Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    The plan was for a chill day beginning with a walk along the river when Debbie tested the traction of a boat ramp and failed, ending on her bum but no major injuries. After a change of clothes we headed out to the beach side and finally got into the Atlantic Ocean for a dip (or a rock pool attached to the Atlantic). Back into town exploring more of the town and their cafes and cakes we got to one just as a troupe of elderly local men had finished singing. After a €2 plate of delicious soup de jour we spent the afternoon lazing poolside at our apartment and having a swim. A riverside restaurant for dinner finished our day. We are very impressed with this town and finding out that a lot of walks such as the Fisherman’s Walk go from here, catching the ferry across the river, to as far as Lagos in the very south of Portugal has given us something to think about.Read more
