We are settled down for the evening, by the river at Aljezur..
While walking around Monchique village today it was 28°c and pretty stifling in the van at lunchtime, so I decided to move closer to the west coast.

Highlights of the day include watching red rumped swallows whilst still in the mountains, a species only seen on Europe's south coast. The drive west was beautiful, especially the final descent into the valley to Aljezur.
