Vila Nova de Milfontes

Sunday 17/02/19


This past weekend has been relaxing and active in equal measures.  We've pulled together some photos as a summary of our time in Milfontes (or 'Milfontesh' to the Portugese).  It's a wonderful town in a stunning area, and dominated by a really rugged coastline.  We'll be sad to leave here as with so  many places before, but we know we still have many new places to see.

Saturday
Toni couldn't resist buying some fresh sardines from the friendly lady at the market

Duly marinaded

and blackened on the Cadac.  Yum!



Forte de São Clemente




Sunday
We cycled to the port near Milfontes and tried to ride along the coastal paths but found the sand was too soft.  We went inland on a gravel road and then picked up the tar road to Porto Nova and back, over 40 km by the time we got home.

The sea was very rough, the weather is deteriorating


Tomorrow we'll start our journey inland.
