Who stole the beach? (Where is King Canute when you need him?)


We have been here a few times and caught the high tides. Today the sea came so far up there was no beach left. Everyone retreated to the beach bar to watch the spectacle. Cars ran the gauntlet of spray to get out of town.

The Pavement Collection


Another one of those things I can't resist snapping.  (others include Chairs, Drinks, windows, trees, buildings and doors)

Lancers vs Casal Mendes

Pink is beautiful!

Two semi-sparkling Rose wines meet head on in Portugal. Both are less famous than the internationaly consumed Mateus, but each brand is more attainable domestically. They are very light and low in alcohol. Vote for your favourite in our poll on the right.

Burgau Beach Bar



Not sure what else I can say about this place. Incredibly consistent. I'm writing this whilst sitting on the veranda having consumed more great sardines accompanied by a large Sagres. The beach below is quiet and the sea crystal clear.

Wet & dry

I'm convinced you hardly need any clothes in this climate. You put less on, go in the sun, jump in the shower with them on, wash them whilst in the shower, "peg out", put them on the next day.
Perpetual motion!
