What can I say? It
was fab. I don’t know why I didn’t
manage a post soon after we got home. A great four weeks.
The villa was big, our only regret was that the weather
was never hot enough to force us into the unheated pool. Photos of it HERE. We debated the ‘cheaper and bigger in the
country versus central and no car to rent’ issue. In the end we decided on another month there,
this time in April of 2020. Aix-en-Provence
beckens for an apartment rental where you can walk to anything and everything
for another time of year though. We are
greedy. 😊
Faro we only spent a day walking around in. Quelfes had its charms, including a great
little grill we found, unfortunately late in the trip. Olhao was always fun and there are some
really excellent restaurants around. And
just hanging out near the markets with books and beer and seafood nibbles now
and then was a fine way to spend a day.
We took four days and drove to Lisbon. Driving was a mistake as even though we
already had rented a car (needed for the villa) it still cost more than two
rail tickets would have. A lot
more. Gas (though we had a hybrid),
parking and tolls. Plus it took a lot
longer as once we got to Lisbon getting around in the old part of the city was
more than a bit time-consuming. Still,
well worth the time we had there and when we are in Portugal again there are a
few things I would like to see and so I at least would be happy to go back.
The time Out Food Market was impressive. Almost worth the trip on its own. 😊
