Friday 10.03.2017: Loulé - Manta Rota - Tavira: 76 km, sunny and warm 25ºC
We first drove to Altura but there were many motorcaravans standing outside the village. Apparently it is not allowed anymore to stand on the empty plot just in front of the sea... Drive to Manta Rota where ther eis a nice aire, but it was full! So we drove back to Tavira where we got into the PSP (Polícia de Segurança Pública/Public Security Police) Camping which is only open from November to May (9.90€ all included for 2 people) A little bit uneasy to find a good spot, but very nice.
Saturday 11.03.2017: Tavira - lovely weather 24ºC
Walk into town (25 minutes), coffee at the old market place, grocery shopping at Pingo Doce. We then grilled the salmon "at home". Delicious, with a good white wine. Relaxed afternoon.
