      Porto Covo -> Milfontes (III)

      6 maart, Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

      PORTINHO DO CANAL -> MILFONTES
      Die letzten 4 - 5 km verlaufen schön an der Küste entlang. Man befindet sich oft direkt an der Abbruchkante, die dann auch mal unterhöhlt ist. Zum Glück bemerkt man das aber erst nach dem überqueren 🫣.
      In "Portinho do Canal" ist dann Schluss mit der weichen Sandpiste. Direkt am Kreisverkehr findet man das Cafe "Porto das Barcas" in toller Lage mit schönem Blick auf das Meer.
      Ich verkneife mir einen Drink und gehe weiter in Richtung Milfontes auf z. T. geteerten Straßen und Feldwegen.
      Es sind nur noch 3 km, dann erreiche ich nach etwa 6 h die Sonnenterrasse vom "HS Milfontes Beach Hotel". Es ist der erste Laden im Ort den ich finde UND geöffnet hat. Im Winter hat noch viel geschlossen 😩. Es ist 14:30 Uhr und prima Wetter. Ein oder zwei isotonische Getränke auf der Sonnenseite werden fällig - eine Coke und ein großes, frisch gezapftes "Superbock"!

      Vila Nova de Milfontes

      6 maart, Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

      Das hübsche Städtchen liegt an der Mündung des Rio Mira in den Atlantik. Das Kastell wurde im 17.Jh. gebaut um die Flusseinfahrt zu kontrollieren. Es ist heute in Privatbesitz und kann nicht besichtigt werden.
      Das Wetter hat sich hier deutlich geändert. Heute Nacht sind schwere Gewitter mit Starkregen durchgezogen und für die nächsten Tage ist weiterhin Sturm und Regen angesagt.
      Nach Lissabon fahren wir auf jeden Fall noch, dann werden wir sehen auf welcher Strecke wir den Heimweg antreten...      Meer informatie

      Klein aber oho-Vila Nova de Milfontes

      2 maart 2023, Portugal

      Nach einer Übernachtung und vier Stunden VDA-Online-Training am frühen Morgen auf dem Campingplatz Parque de Campismo São Miguel, am Rande des Parque Natural do Sudoeste Alentejano e Costa Vicentina - einem Naturschutzgebiet, das sich an der gesamten südwestportugiesischen Küste entlangzieht -, geht es weiter in Richtung Norden.

      Manuela hat ein nettes Örtchen an der Atlantikküste gefunden.
      Vila Nova de Milfontes.
      Der kleine Ort liegt ebenfalls im Parque Natural do Sudoeste Alentejano e Costa Vicentina. Am Ortsrand mündet der Fluss Rio Mira in den Atlantik. Dieses Örtchen hat Charme und wir fühlen uns gleich sehr wohl.

      Zahlreiche Spaziergänge und Fahrradtouren geben uns immer wieder neue Einblicke in die Umgebung. Besonders die Küstenlandschaft, die Klippen, die Flora und Fauna hat viel zu bieten. Der Blick auf den Atlantik und/oder die Flussmündung ist alles andere als eintönig. Die Wellen hier am Atlantik erreichen teilweise sehr beeindruckende Größenordnungen. Die Kraft der Natur ist deutlich wahrnehmbar. Unterstützt wird dieser Eindruck durch die Geräuschkulisse. Jede Welle hat ihr eigenes, individuelles Geräuschsektrum. Es ist für uns nicht vorhersagbar, wann die Welle bricht und wie laut das Getöse sein wird. Unschreiblich.
      Obwohl beide Campingplätze einige hundert Meter Luftlinie von der Küste entfernt sind, der Atlantik durchbricht die Stille der Nacht und ist deutlich hörbar.

      An einem Strandabschnitt in der Nähe der Fussmüdung sind mehrere gestapelte Steine zu bestaunen. Die Steine wurden mit ruhiger Hand Stein auf Stein ausbalanciert übereinander gelegt. Angeblich sind diese "Kunstwerke" auf die Besucher des Ortes zurückzuführen. Selbstverständlich haben Manuela und ich uns diese Gelegenheit nicht entgehen lassen.      Meer informatie

      Vila Nova de Milfontes -> Cavaleiro

      16 maart, Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

      Da die heutige Nacht dann doch etwas kälter war, freute ich mich schon auf die ersten Sonnenstrahlen am Morgen - auch um das Zelt vom Tau zu trocknen. Nach einem ausgiebigen Frühstück, ging’s hinweg über Sand, Sand und nochmals Sand 😮‍💨
      Fridolin fühlte sich schwerer denn je an und mein Kopf pochte ordentlich. Nach einer längeren Pause, Kopfwehtablette und Justierung am Rucksack ging es zum Glück deutlich besser weiter. Auch der tiefe Sand fand sein vorläufiges Ende, sodass es nun auf recht rauem Stein weiterging. Alles in allem ein anstrengender Tag mit ersten Zweifeln, die aber letztlich die vielen Störche mit sich davontrugen 🪺 🐦      Meer informatie

      Fishermen's Trail - 1. Etappe

      24 oktober 2023, Portugal ⋅ 🌬 21 °C

      1. Etappe: Porto Covo - Vila Nova de Milfontes

      Distanz: 19 km
      Höhe: + 402 m / - 403 m
      Marschzeit: 5h 30 Min.

      Wir stehen zeitig auf und starten kurz nach Acht unsere Tour. Eine herrliche Morgenstimmung begleitet uns auf den ersten Kilometern. Der sehr gut markierte Weg führt immer nah an den Klippen entlang, vorbei an kleinen Buchten und Stränden. Atemberaubend die Ausblicke! Wir entscheiden uns spontan den offiziellen Weg zu verlassen und unterhalb der Klippen dem Meer entlang zu laufen, so weit es geht. Eine besondere Stimmung, so nah am Wasser ... und ein ständiges Rauschen im Ohr. Nein, nicht mein Tinitus!😉 Es ist sehr windig und Wolken ziehen auf. Wir verzichten auf eine lange Mittagspause, sondern wandern zielstrebig weiter. Regen ist angesagt! Am frühen Nachmittag erreichen wir Vila Nova de Milfontes an der Mündung des Rio Mira, und zwar trocken!😃 Das Wandern auf unebenen Sandpfaden war anstrengend und fühlte sich zeitweise an wie Stapfen im Schnee!Meer informatie

      Day 22 to Day 26 - Vila Nova Milfontes

      3 juli 2023, Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

      I know some people, well one person, was worried about our wellbeing, but I decided to do just one blog for the next five days, because we did literally nothing except sit on a beach and occasionally eat.

      Day 22 - We sat on Praia do Farol for the day. We had a couple of beers & shared a burger for lunch at the Riverside Pub. Jackie attempted to cut my hair with my beard trimmers. We had dinner at a restaurant called Picatapa. I had a lovely steak in a mustard cream sauce with chips, whilst Jackie moaned that her fried squid was in sauce she didn’t particularly like.

      Day 23 - We drove to Praia do Malhao about 6 miles up the road. It is a wild unspoilt sandy beach with Atlantic Ocean waves crashing in. We both really liked the beach, but we had no provisions because we had planned to return to the Riverside Pub for lunch. Unbelievably the pub turned out to be closed for renovations, so we made do with the restaurant next door. We had a beer each & a mixed plate of salami, cheese and jam. It was then back to Praia do Farol, but it was windy, so we retreated to the busy Praia de Vila Nova Milfontes. That night we both had a very poor meal in a lovely blue tiled restaurant. I had the pork mixed grill & Jackie had a steak. Both were chewy & overcooked & the plates heaving with chips, rice and some unidentified substance similar to stuffing. The food was summed up by a Portuguese couple who paid up and walked out grumbling literally 2 minutes after their dinner arrived. We are going to review our eating habits.

      Day 24 - The previous day we had found a bakery that made up baguettes etc which we decided would be perfect for a day on the beach. Typical, it was closed, so we bought bread rolls, laughing cow cheese, a tomato and fruit for our picnic. We then drove back to Praia do Malhao, which we have decided is now our favourite beach & probably in our top 10 best beaches ever visited. We spent the whole day on the beach with the odd walk, dip in the Atlantic & lunch. On the way home we were looking forward to the prospect of a cold beer & maybe a small appetiser from the bar at the end of our road. FFS it was closed. Instead we found a lovely ‘new’ bar at the other end of our road which we discovered to be cheaper and had been open for over a year and we hadn’t noticed. Dinner was the same as lunch.

      Day 25 - We went back to Praia do Malhao after stopping at the bakery that was now open for egg salad baguettes and chocolate croissants. We had a full day on the beach again. We had a couple of beers at the ‘new’ bar, then to the old bar for a beer and just a snack. True to form, there was a queue to get a seat, so our plans were scuppered yet again, so we returned to StressFree and the lovely owner who made a fuss of us as returning customers. Today I made the wrong choice with a veal burger that got lost in an oversized bun & their chips that are actually more like crisps. Jackie had a bowl of black linguine with mussels in tomato sauce which was apparently delicious.

      Day 26 - It was back again to Praia do Malhao. We stopped at the bakery and bought just one egg salad baguette to share & 2 croissants for lunch. We spent the whole day catching rays on the beach listening to Day 1 of the 3rd Test, with the occasional paddle between wickets. Jackie gave me a haircut when we got back, then we went back to StressFree for pasta for me & octopus salad on toast for Jackie.

      Tomorrow we head further south.

      Vila Nova Milfontes

      11 december 2019, Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

      For our next next stop over we found a site in Vila Nova Milfontes and only being about half hour away we decided to drive over to take a look around before picking up a few supplies in Odemeira.
      The site wasn't for us with a lot of long termers set up, more to the point while walking around the site Tess was attacked by a bloody great Pyrenees Mountain dog. Luckily I managed to get between them before it got to her and Jayne was able to pick her up. No real damage done and the German owner was very apologetic.
      The town was ok with plenty of shops bars and resturants and the views over the estuary were stunning. Still back to the drawing board to figure out our next move.      Meer informatie

      Day 20 - World’s Biggest Waves

      30 juni 2023, Portugal ⋅ 🌬 23 °C

      When we woke up Jackie floated the idea of not visiting Lisbon on this trip, because our sunbathing days were diminishing rapidly. It didn’t take me long to consider and agree to her proposal.

      We left our accommodation as early as 9.30am, packed up the car and headed south. Our impression was that Coimbra had a lot to offer and it would be a worth a future visit.

      We drove for around 2 hours and saw nothing much other than car show rooms, van dealerships, motorcycle shops & used car lots. There were literally hundreds of them. We stopped at a thoroughly modern McDonalds, hoping to get a good old fashioned McD breakfast, but we were out of luck. The waitress brought us out coffees in proper cups. I ordered a cheese and ham toastie, whilst Jackie had a disappointing egg McMuffin - smaller & with different bread.

      Our first proper stop was Nazaré, famous for having the world’s biggest waves reaching the colossal height of 80-100 feet in the winter months. Surfers flock here for the Big Waves Awards Contest, which can be seen on YouTube. Nazaré had a nice vibe, but it was extremely windy, so we parked up & had a wander around without going down to the lighthouse. Instead we viewed it and the beach from afar.

      30 minutes down the road we paused at Foz da Arelho, with it’s spectacular estuary beaches, but it was still blowing a gale, so we didn’t stop but continued onwards.

      Another 30 minutes or so later we approached the city of Peniche located on a peninsula & famed for it’s surfing, but our car was being battered by the wind, so we did a u-turn and continued further south.

      At this point we were both a bit disillusioned with Portugal, but identified a potential seaside resort that may satisfy our needs - Vila Nova de Milfontes which had half a dozen different beaches to suit everyone’s tastes. It was another 4 hours drive further down the coast on what turned out to be not particularly interesting roads through agricultural towns & sandy wastelands. I amused myself listening to the Ashes, whilst Jackie agonised over which accommodation to book for the weekend.

      Around 6.30pm, we rolled into Vila Nova de Milfontes & our mood instantly lightened. The town had a really nice feel to it with a slight hippy vibe. We parked our car in a free car park & walked the short distance to our accommodation, Travelers by Rio NaturAL. We must have been given an upgrade, because our room was much larger than what we booked with a vaulted ceiling and a double door window looking down on the street below. Our best room of the trip so far.

      We took a quick exploratory stroll before finding a bar for a beer. We both agreed that this was exactly the sort of place we were hoping for & we would almost certainly be extending our stay here. After a couple of beers, we went to a little restaurant immediately opposite our place, called StressFree. The owner was an enthusiastic lady & we had an enjoyable Portuguese style meal of lamb stew and pork with apple & honey. We will definitely be going back.

      Day 21 - Back to the Beach

      1 juli 2023, Portugal ⋅ 🌙 20 °C

      We both had a really decent night’s sleep in our very nice air conditioned bedroom. We were ready for the beach.

      We stopped at a small cafe for coffee & Jackie chose a sausage sandwich to share. It was weird if not fairly horrible - a frankfurter in a baguette with a lettuce leaf, a tomato slice, then crammed with tiny chipsticks all swimming in ketchup & mustard mayonnaise. Not again.

      We walked to a beach called Foz do Rio Mira em Odemira, which on the face of it was perfect - a small sandy cove sheltered from the breeze and with a roped off swimming area. Unfortunately it was busy & full of either old people or families. I wasn’t comfortable, but strangely the beach started to empty from about 11.30am onwards.

      During the morning we had identified a beach shack on Praia do Farol, the beach around the corner. Around 1pm we visited it for a beer & discovered it was a restaurant with white table cloths for dinner. Not what we were looking for, so we had to head back towards town to find something more suitable for just a couple of beers.

      We spent the afternoon on Praia do Faro as the tide went dramatically back out revealing sandbanks all over the estuary.

      That evening we had a hearty meal of burger and pork with fries with beer & decided we would try to extend our stay for another 4 days.
