Portugal in the sun.....in December !!



Would you believe it? Well we couldn't. All the glorious sun and warmth that is Portugal but in December.
We went on a pre Christmas jaunt and got to know The Algarve, from the sheer cliffs of Cape St. Vincent in the west to Mia Priah and Lagos to the east.

We saw fishermen perched on ledges on the cliffs with knee wobbling drops beneath them.
 Marvellous rock erosion with spectacular colours visible in the strata.
There were trips  inland to the Barragem , a vast resevoir  whose waters were held back by a massive concrete dam and also the beautiful fortified town of Silves, with a quaint street market, storks on chimney pots and steps.
