    I shall take you to the beach and back as we went and as I photographed.

    We'll start at the carpark (which is behind me, I hasten to add) ...

    [​IMG]

    ... and we are going down to Marinha Beach ...

    [​IMG]

    ... via this lovely pathway (note the house with a view on the left) ...

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Then we'll go down these steps past the restaurant / bar (which was unfortunately closed) ...

    [​IMG]

    ... to encounter this cave/house ...

    [​IMG]

    ... and inside the cave (I didn't go through the second hole because I could hear bees in there) ...

    [​IMG]

    I'll be back to continue the journey.

    Our wanderings continue ...

    We will walk along the beach in the surf to the far end (it's a very small beach) ...

    [​IMG]

    ... to some lovely rock formations ...

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    ... and turn around to come back ...

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    ... and make our way back to the top via the beautiful walkway ...

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    ... having had a flyover farewell on the beach from this graceful creature ...

    [​IMG]

    Hope you enjoyed today's little adventure.

    Glad you liked it, Sis. We haven't been to Marinha in years and forgot how truly beautiful it is. Will definitely go when next you are here.

    The Agave are marvellous here, Babe, not that I would have one as they are so spikey ... not that I have ROOM for one. Often they are used as boundary hedges because of the spikes. :eek:

    The sea was lovely walking in it, rosa, but I would imagine it would be quite cold further out as it is the Atlantic! [​IMG]

    This healthy herd was being shepherded by man and dog up the hills today. Maybe they were going to the letterboxes to see if they had any post?
