Small trip in Southern Portugal
Mainly to post some pictures.
I started in Albufiera. And went to Silves,
Where my actual route started.
Silves is typical for this area. with the mixture of architect/historiy
A roman bridge passes over the Arade river.
On the hill, there is a huge castle from the time of the Moors.
And close to the castle is a catholic cathedral.

Leg 2 continues on the north side of the dam.
The situation for water is very bad. Too little rain. The level in the reservoirs is very low

The road to the Arade dam
Nice road
There are several luxurious houses. In the middle of nowhere

Re: Small trip in Southern Portugal
Back in Silves. I made two small detours.
One on a short trail.
And one up a hill.
The hill is much steeper than what the picture says.
The hill
What you see when you are close to the top. Just the end and the sky.
What is behind the peak ?
Speed is needed to keep going....
After that. Just returning to Albufeira.
