By the time we return from the beach at Zambujeira do Mar, pack up the scooter and service the Hymer it\u2019s almost 2pm when we depart S\u00e3o Teot\u00f3nio and cross in the Algarve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Algarve is the southern most province of Portugal stretching from the Atlantic coast in the west to the Spanish border in the east. From our guide books\u2019 perspective it has little highlights other than the weather and the beaches. The Algarve is where the English holiday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway another brief blog as we didn\u2019t do much…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We follow the west coast of Portugal south. As its only 40 kms to Aljezur, we manage it in less than an hour including a quick ice stop at an Intermarch\u00e9. The cliffs along the coast here are dramatic, the coast road through the national park turns to gravel. There are campers parked at every lay-by, but there\u2019s plenty of space. We stop a couple of times to check, but eventually the road terminates and we find our spot for the night with 3-4 other campers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
