After a fantastic week spent with Paul, Ros, and the kids it was once again time to move on. We had been recommended to visit nearby Zambujeira do Mar so we made the short 70km tow up the coast to the nearby Camping Villa Park Zambujeira. We avoided toll roads to get a more scenic route and apart from some rough patches of road the trip went well.
Our current location was perfect for exploring the wonderful beaches of Portugal and we were honestly spoilt for choice and having a car meant that we were able to visit more remote beaches. A recommendation had been Bordeira and we were not to be disappointed. Continue reading Praia de Bordeira
Lagos on the Algarve was a short drive from where we were staying so it was worthy of a visit.
As we entered the town we passed the Forte da Ponta da Bandeira on one side of the road and the Governor’s Castle (Castelo dos Governadores) on the other. (Neither of which we visited). Just after here we located an underground car park with very reasonable charges. Continue reading Lagos Portugal, not Nigeria!
About a half hour drive from our campsite we reached the most south westerly point of Portugal, Cabo de São Vicente with its spectacular cliffs, lighthouse and views of the Atlantic Ocean.

Today, in glorious sunshine, we packed up and prepared to tow to Camping Turiscampo, near Lagos, Portugal. We travelled almost all the way on the A22 motorway. I had setup a toll account online as Portugal toll roads are all now electronic with no one to take payment or pay by credit/debit card. As we had only 160km to go today we towed at a slower speed than normal to take in the sights of a new, to us, country and save a bit of fuel.
