ALVOR AWESOME!

 



Alvor is six kilometers away from Portimao. We walked to it thinking taking a bus back, however we walked back too, albeit alot slower. Paul has his phone and watch tracking our steps.  We walked over 18 km! (11 miles). We were tired that night. 

This is a beachfront fishing town alot smaller than Portimao. We had grilled sardines for lunch.....psst, and French Fries! It was delicious.  This town caters to the UK residents as the menus had many food items favouring them. 

As we walk around the main streets you can see someone even dries their laundry on the sidewalk. I can even see the size of their bras lol! This is normal here but in our cities the By-law officer would be by. 

Ok....typing this on my phone. FONT size just changed, sorry.

I splurged on the Airbnb, this was a place with a huge window looking down at this famous beach.  Nazare has the steepest hills so far...... I know this because the Airbnb was at the top of the highest hill! Great views means great climbs! The sunset is so beautiful there too! This town is famous for the largest waves in the world. Starting in November onward the waves start building. The surfers and other dare devils start arriving along with the spectators! IIn Nazare and many other Portuguese towns, there are wild and free cats. These cats seem well fed and friendly. In Nazare we saw many cat "houses" where residents can drop off food and water. Everyone shares this cat caring endeavor. All these little cubby holes have a blanket in them with cat food. BTW We d...
