The heights of Monchique, telecoms, observatory, and the like

Visitors leave stones piled up, I swear this is a couple of lovebirds...
Stayed here at an Aire near Monchique for 3 nights, excellent arrangement with space just for 12 vans, serviced pitches, showers and all for 11 Euro per night
2 trips to the local restaurants were interesting sampling authentic local cuisine...

Easy peasy really..
Billy has a brother!
Mick & Sharon were great company and it was good to muse over Autotrail highs & lows
These guys regailed us with Moroccan adventure stories so will add it to our travel list
Sagres, almost the end of Europe, and simply stunning!
Maximum respect goes to these guys
They sit, must be at least 60 metres high, on the very edge of the cliff and fish all day
No wonder the restaurant fish is so expensive..

So that was our first venture to the Algarve. We are off now up the western coast which we have been told is really beautiful.
My guess is there will be less Vanners but yesterdays' short drive to Bordeira Beach revealed a small enclave of fellow nomads and die hard surfers.
Looks the place to be in Feb. The west coast should be a great trip. I've only been there on google earth so cant wait to see how you get on. Just be aware you are in Port country and its a bit stronger than the red stuff! Keep it coming and enjoy.
