Sagres

FRIDAY

Not without some difficulty crossing a barren landscape beyond Lagos the promontory at Sagres is shrouded in mist. I might have guessed it would be and it lends a certain mysteriousness about being there. I hear the sea waves crashing below but the dense mist obscures any view.

One of the "end of the world" locations!

  1. So you have reached the end of the world! I have read the blogs from the Algarve stops. Henry the navigator was the first to initiate discoveries by sea wasn't he. I don't think he sailed himself but set up sailing schools and really developed navigation. I think I like Tavira best compared the Lagos and Albufeira, with the Moorish influence. It has a quaint feel. Lagos coast line is lush too isn't it - when it is not crammed with people. You must be EXHAUSTED dad. How are you feeling? Caroline

    1. Thanks for showing a keen interest. Living in Portugal would add some interest for you particularly as you know tge Algarve. Tavira I preferred too and much fewer visitors than the other main towns. I was just another visitor in Portugal whilst in Spain I was a 'pilgrim' (travelling Caminos de Santiago) which added special interest to me.
