Cycling day 13 Sines - Vila Nova de Milfontes

Very pleasant ride today…minimal climbing, tail winds and limited miles.  All beneficial attributes especially since I have a broken spoke.  We made it to our destination without incident, had a lovely lunch(dinner) and enjoyed the small town and beautiful beach atmosphere.  Hopefully tomorrow (Monday) we can get my rear wheel fixed. (no real bike shops in this small town.)

More of these stone pine or umbrella pine trees. This tree is becoming more important in Portugal due to the high value of its edible kernel; the “pine nut”.  Portugal is the second highest producer of this crop after Spain.

If you look close, you can see many people enjoying their secluded beach location away from the wind.
