Zambujeira to Almograve ...

Skies clear enough for Sun to break though and light up the beach for a while ... and inspire some walking after a late start ... next hostel only 22 km, so no rush ... Cavaleiro, just over halfway, reached before noon, firm sandy paths beside seething sea, ozone and scented shrubs teasing the senses ... several southbound hikers pass ....

Restaurant with Sikh staff and Buddhist decor serves delicious dahl with rice, leaving afternoon open for leisurely stroll to Almograve and whichever sleeping accommodation appeals ....

... which turns out to be the Almograve Beach Hostel, recommended by Sophia yesterday ... alternative was the Pousada de Juventude, passed up for something a little consider ... and after sharing with Sophia, from Austria, and Britta, from Germany, last night, today's roommate is Katya, from Germany ... walking South ... supper with her opens up more of her story ... daughter of Russian parents, her father a soldier based near Berlin as the world changed, settled in Germany ... Katya's new boyfriend Spanish, having met at their workplace in the Alps ...
