Golden Club Apartments Tavira

... arrives, probably in an hour or two.

Now I'm feeling a little remote. I'm pretty good at making the best of a situation, and dealing with the resources I have. As I haven't eaten yet today, I search a few of the nearby gardens for a bit of fruit to tide me over. Under the cover of early morning light I find a mature pomegranate tree loaded with fruit. I grab 5 of the plumpest fruits I can find and wander ...

... it was pretty tame until one of the toreadors almost got trampled by one of the bulls, the dude was lucky they dulled the tip of the bulls horns.

The west and south coast of Portugal is pretty much a long stretch of beaches surrounded and separated by huge red cliffs and you can get from one beach to another by crawling through caves in the cliffs (I also think that's where the bums sleep at night...) We did some surfing at a small secluded beach that I had been to 4 years ago with my family. We’re ...

... to head into London city to get to Gatwick) but since we landed at Terminal 4, we needed to get ourselves to Terminal 5 in order to get on the shuttle service to Gatwick (to do this, we were told to use a local bus, however even the locals had troubles identifying which bus one would catch from which stop as they keep changing them so often,

It actually took 30 mins to get from Terminal 4 to Terminal 5. When at Gatwick, we had problems identifying which was the ...

... to arrive in hot places at midday carrying rucksacks and looking lost, we arrived in Tavira at around 1230 the mercury hitting 35 degrees, laden down and looking lost. Our hotel, booked online, for its proximity to the town centre could be seen high on a hill overlooking the town, perched in such a way as to be visible but seemingly disconnected from the narrow twisty streets. After a few wrong turns and a scare from a little but vicious dog, we ...

Bussed to Faro, a small seaside town with not a hell of a lot really!!

Our room had no window, but faked the appearance by having a curtain anyway... nothing like a little bit of closet sleeping!!

Went for a swim at the beach/lagoon with our 1.60 euro bottle of red ...

... 1755). Faro oli looduslike jõude poolt täielikult maatasa tehtud.

Algarve piirkonna pealinnas käisime vaid korraks õhtul. Mulle jättis see nn piirkonna suurima linna kohta ikka väga väikse linna mulje. Jalutasime pisut vanalinnas, kindluses ja sadama ääres. Elav koht oli Shopping Mall, kus olid taas esindatud samad brändid nagu Lissabonis. Ostukeskuses oli hängimas palju noori ja lastega peresid.


Parque Natural da Ria ...

Esialgu olime broneerinud 3 ööd looduslikult kaunis kohas, Quarteira lähedal, kuid viimasel minutil helistati meile, et hotell on ülebroneeritud ja meile pandi juba kinni samas hinnaklassis teine hotell. Quarteira sai linnaõiguse alles 13. mail 1999 ning seda oli ka näha, sest linn oli üsna v ...

Tavira on 30 km Farost idapool ja 160 km läänepool asub juba Sevilla. Ka siin on selgelt näha moorakate jälgesid nii arhitektuuris kui kultuuris. Ehitati kaks mošeed, kindlus ja palee. Tavira ja Lagos on arhitektuuri poolest kõige ilmekam linnad Algarve piirkonnas.

Minu jaoks tundus Lagose lugu põnevam ja ajalooliselt tähtsam, seega teen kokkuvõte:

Lagos asub Rio Bensafrimi kallastel ning ...
