. . . a sunny saunter, sometimes on soft sand, to spare the joints and work the muscles . . . sometimes firmer ground . . . more stunning views . . . perfect picnic at Cafe Atlantic, delicious, chewy local bread, tomato and tasty sheep's cheese . . . rosemary honey on bread for dessert . . . simple fare and wonderful spot, alone on the beach . . .
. . . the last stage of the Fishermen's Trail, unless you're doing it the way the guide book writes it, from north to south . . .
. . . options now include: picking up the Historic Route and going north to Santiago de Cacem; picking it up and walking south; bus to Aljezur and joining the Algarve Way at Monchique . . . in any case I have promised to be in Tavira in ten days and I have no desire to put in 40km every day just to say I walked all the way . . .
At the Ahoy Hostel, very friendly hosts Ze Nicolau and Marta, with Ze working hard at this new business, Marta working too hard in her job at the Bank and looking forward to joining in at the hostel . . .
. . . and three very friendly even younger people, here for the surfing from Evora . . .Jose Guillerme, Jose Elias and Francisco . . . all five speaking fluent English, sharing insights into life here . . . and some delicious home-made plum liqueur . . .
. . . tomorrow, back on the road, maybe finish the Historical Route to Santiago de Cacem . . . let's see . . .
