The drive from our cliff top parking spot back into Aljezur is slow. There is a lot of traffic about today, being Sunday. The Portuguese holidays are coming to a close and it seems many people are heading home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We stop at the Intermarch\u00e9 for a shop. The Portuguese style chicken looks good so dinner tonight is set. Continuing south on the N268 the road deteriorates as well so it a slow 30 kms today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We drive through Carrapateira continuing on a few kilometres to Praia da Amado. There are two large car-parks here, we are a little surprised to see they are both almost full. We find a spot to park and walk across to the beach. The breeze is cool the water clear, so we decide to stay for a couple of hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
