Sat Oct 11 Sargaçal & The Grotto

We woke up at 8:00 to find workers in our decks. Took pics and emailed Rentalgest. Enough already . . . 😫

We picked up our bikes & headed out about 11. We decided to take the route we missed yesterday - Lagos east along the lovely path then north to Odiáxere, west through Sargaçal, south west to Portalas, then back to Legos. There were about 3 steep climbs, but this time I did them all -including the one I walked up yesterday. Quite proud of myself. We were back in Lagos in 1.5 hours.
We decided then to try to find the lookout posts we’d missed on Thursday - found them both thanks to Peter. For the first, we parked our bikes and wandered along the boardwalk. Lovely view.
We biked to further and found The Grotto is the furthest look out point - , spectacular view. The Grotto itself is a small hole in the rocks - but the cliffs are amazing.
We found a spot for lunch in the heart of the old town, then got back to Rent a Bike to meet Valter at 4:00. By this time I was exhausted - happy to get home a bit early. Peter picked up Dorade -Sea Bream that he had filleted. Baked it over lemons - delish.

As for the workers - disaster. The windows were shuttered and the furniture under a tarp. Took pics & emailed Rentalgest again. Bottom line - they said they’d reimburse us. We’ll see . . . . .Leggi altro
