Around Tavira (1)

We were very surprised when Helen contacted us whilst we were in Gran Canaria: would we like to join them in Southern Portugal a few weeks later? After a brief second’s thought the answer was yes, of course!
We two in La Tranche isolating with Covid, and Helen & Mo back in Bingley scoured the internet to find a destination and an Airbnb, and between us we came up trumps.

Our flight was from Nantes and we had a great view of the ring-road bridge over the Loire

A couple of hours later we were flying over the lagoons to the east of Faro…

…not realising that I took a photo of our destination, Tavira!

Three out of four ain’t bad, having apéritifs outside our apartment. Notice the fleeces: it wasn’t so hot on our arrival.

There were blue skies though…

…two views from the balcony.

Next morning a shop at the market just round the corner. Notice the masks: compulsory in all enclosed public places.

I think Tine was smitten by the hand-made footwear shops…


…but we gave this octopus restaurant a miss!
