Kat and I spent five days in Algarve, which is southern Portugal. We stayed in Gaia, the Piri Piri Chicken capital, and explored Faro, Albufeira, and Silves. The weather was warm, but not punishingly hot most of the time. Highlights include the following:

Do you see a profile?
The colors of the water–green up close and blue far away– and the different colors of the rocks were hard to capture. The layers closest to the water were grey and purple, gradually changing to beige and a warm tan. There were many, many caves and algarves, and most were being visited by other boaters, kayakers, and paddle boarders. Some swimmers as well. How we didn’t bump into anyone is a mystery to me. Overall excellent outing and a very convenient way to see a lot of the coastline beauty in Algarve!
