Portugal and the Algarve

PORTUGAL            9/10/2010

The Algarve (south Portugal)

Yesterday we left Norwich for Heathrow and took a late flight to Lisbon, Portugal.  After staying overnight near the airport, we headed south in a hire car to the Algarve.  We stayed in a country property just outside Silves.  This area is just wonderful.


Many of the street signs are made with tiles

Typical houses covered with  tiles in Tivera on the coast.


The fort at Lagos.


Tiles everywhere!!

Our hotel/B&B just outside Silvres.


View of Silvres.  This is a lovely, interesting town, with great restaurants. 

Ancient water storage systern in the castle at Silvres.  You can tour  underneath this.
