We are staying on a site which is about 30 Kms from Cabo de Sao Vicente which is the Southwestern point of mainland Europe. It's an amazing place and we've been there a couple of times. Last time we went late in the afternoon to see the sunset and watch the Lighthouse come on. It was too cloudy for a dramatic sunset but it's one of those places which is mainly about being there - pictures don't really show that so I haven't included any!
Yesterday we took a trip up the West coast which is renowned for it's long uncrowded beaches and for surfing. It was actually a poor day for the surfers as the sun was shining and the wind was light so the Atlantic breakers weren't as powerful as they usually are but it meant we could explore the area without the need to wrap up warm to protect ourselves from the wind.
The beaches are amazing - this first picture is of one of the main surfing beaches
This is the beach bar situated on a stretch of sand between the river estuary and the sea

Another beach nearby which we had to ourselves and a seal (who unfortunately was dead and beyond resuscitation!)
And this is one very happy dog after a day on the beach!
