Saturday 4th February - Cabanas near Tavira - Portugal

Yesterday we left our campsite in Conil de la Frontera in Spain and headed for Portugal.  We wish we could have stayed longer as we spent most of our stay using the campsite as a base for visiting other nearby cities.  Indeed, the campsite was in an excellent location to use as a base but equally it was set among pine trees with lots of sandy trails to little beaches and villages that we would have liked to have had time to explore.

We are now making a brief four night stop at Ria Formosa campsite in Cabanas de Tavira, Portugal.  Having had such a busy week travelling around, we intend to chill here for a couple of days.  It’s less than a mile and a pleasant walk to the sea front.  It’s also very well located for public transport links throughout the Algarve via bus and train.  We were very pleased to bump into some fellow travelers that we met originally in Villanova and then again in Le Manga.  We had a wonderful meal at a fish restaurant on the sea front at Cabanas.  The sea bass and prawn kebabs were just amazing.
