Cycling day 15 Aljezur - Carrapateira

We are down to our final 3 days…. and the longer mileage days s are behind us.

These terraces are really very large, but maybe  hard to see in the photo. 

This is a common site … this almost dead looking plant covered with snails.  There are a lot of coastal snails. 

Look closely and you can see 3 horses and a bunch of people on the beach. 

11:11 photo today. Alarm sounded as we were taking a break on a nice bench overlooking the ocean cliffs. 

The ride to the cliff lookout was not smooth, but it was worthwhile. 
 

We checked into our hotel in a valley outside the small town. They have a beautiful pool, tennis courts, a non heated hot tub and a non functioning sauna and a ping pong table. With temps in the low 70’s and high wind, we decided against the tennis, swimming and ping pong.

With our luggage packs removed we cycled to explore the small town and the ocean cliff on our way to a popular restaurant overlooking the Atlantic. 

We ordered and shared the two dinner plates… cod and chips  and sea bass with lovely veggies and capers. We both enjoyed the sea bass most, but Tim was particularly fond of the chips and I particularly liked the caper and veggies.
