Monday 1 October 2018

Monday 1 October Officially the start of the winter season in Portugal and it's an unprecedented 31c We drove to the second UNESCO world heritage site in Portugal Monasterio de Batalha 20 k inland from the coast, this is the biggest gothic cathedral in Portugal , housing the tombs of King Pedro and his wife Ines (who he secretly married when Prince , and she was swiftly murdered by his father King Afonso IV as a threat to the throne) Spanish Romeo and Juliet theme. We arrived at Sao Pedro de Moel, a small cove with lots of closed down smart holiday apartments in the late afternoon, to find a top quality Orbitur 3 star campsite with a beautiful swimming pool / sunbathing lawn and shade and sparkling clean facilities for 18€ per night, only a 5 minute walk from the beautiful beach ( too tricky for us to swim although some body boarders managed it ) It reminded me of Polperro and Port meirion combined , very attractive though built up , we had a beer at a beach cafe and watched the sun set , day of rest tomorrow
