Portugal

The Algarve Portugal - the south coast  May 24th - 27th

The southern coast of Portugal is packed with beach resort towns. The water is a beautiful turquoise blue. The coast ranges from sandy beaches to rocky cliffs. Everything on the land is green or white painted buildings. As usual we tried to visit the less populated areas. They still exist, but are disappearing fast.

Hotel courtyard in Tavira. This was unusual because it was painted gold not white. A real eye catcher.
