We had planned to go into Faro today but the weather is still a bit iffy and the forecast is for it to stay that way over the weekend. So needing supplies when it looked like it was clearing up we walked into Quarteira town. Like many places along this coast it caters mainly for ho;/holidaymakers but nevertheless is modern, clean and attractive. Couple of photies to see for yourself.

We've decided to move on tomorrow, probably into Spain.
The boat on the prom is a reference to the seafaring tradition of the Portuguese and their global navigation feats. All achieved courtesy of that wonderful brew Super Bock. The one that originally reached the parts.
ReplyDeleteIf you are continuing east along the 125, Tavira is worth a visit. If you cross into Spain and hang a right towards Gib. Don't stop before you get to Cadiz. there's not much to see.
