This story is from a one day tour in ALgarve Portugal.
From Albufeira to Costa Vicentina and back.

The Costa Vicentina is the Western coast of the Algarve

The area is a national park

This was the plan
And this is how it went I did not go to the the most far corner. Sagres. And Lighthouse of Cabo de São Vicente

That was a separate trip.
(Maybe another post)
Also Silves on the way back is worth a separate visit.

The trip was 300 km.

The road from Albufeira to Vila do Bispo is not muck to say about.
Mainly boring N125.
From Vila do Bispo,it is close to Sagres and the Lighthouse of Cabo de São Vicente.
But that will be another post.
I turned north on N268 towards Bordeira.
With it's beatiful coast.

Someone used this beautiful place for wild camping.

Stunning view

I continued N268 North to Aljezur.
Where I turned to Praia de Monte Clerigo.

There were a small village and beautiful beaches

Stunning views over the coast

Time for a coffee break.
Absolutely free from Corona virus risk

Boiled coffee in a thermos.
With stunning views

Surfers enjoying the waves
There is a Coastal trail called
FIshermen's trail passing here.

This is how the signs marking that trail look like
Some campers in motorhomes

The tour continued north towards Odeceixe.
Where is was time for a lunch break

Lunch was easy prepared. And served Corona proof.
Not so nice views as at the coast. But a good place to stay.

Good distancing

Mantenha distância !!!

To get some nice driving, I continued North on N120 to Odemira.
From there to Monchique are nice and twisty roads.

N123
and N266
