It seemed a cooler start today, but within an hour we shedded some layers.
A surprising field of cactus crops.
We changed our route today to get to the suggested (only) bike shop in this region. It took about half hour for Armindo to replace my broken spike.
11:11 photo… The eucalyptus trees grown in Portugal are not a native species, but they are now one of the three main tree species. The pine make up 28%, eucalyptus 23% and cork oak makes up about 23%. The pines are grown for pine nuts, cork oak for cork and the main purpose for eucalyptus is pulp for paper products!
A wonderful lunch.. I had dogfish stew with sweet potatoes and Tim had pork cheeks with rice and fries. We also enjoyed the white sangria.
Exploring the village of Aljezur and the 11th century castle remains located in this village.
We stopped by the local market and purchased some cheap tawny port and dark chocolate. It tasted like cheap port, but we enjoyed it anyway. 😉
Looking fabulous!!! I’ve had Halibut cheeks but not pork cheeks! 😝 Carry On Lisa
