Sunday 20th April 2025.
After leaving the site, quite a queue to use the services we drove around the corner to Intermarche where Michelle made use of the washing machine/drier at a very low price. We also stocked up on some more food etc.
We drove down the coast to Tavira parking quite close to the centre alongside the river. We had a pleasant walk around this town The river runs out into a series of lagoons that form the Rio Formosa natural park with lots of wildlife including flamingos and spoonbills.
From Tavira we drove to Faro where we are staying the night on a huge car park against the city walls.
We had a very pleasant meal in a restaurant on the marina Cafe o Coreto, it had an extensive menu so it provided well for all four of us and even allowed Layla inside which is rare here in Portugal.
One thing you can’t ignore is the flight path to the airport goes right over Faro and there is a steady stream of planes landing from 6am to 11pm with Easy Jet, Ryan Air and Tui being easy to recognise.
