Praia Grande







We are waiting to move in to our next luxury apartment, so it gives us a chance to udate things a bit. I am struggling to post photos but will have another bash.



We had a good day at Praia Grande yesterday A thoroughly quiet beach just inside the breakwater opposite Portimao. In fact we actually found the local beach around the headland and avoided the pay as you burn sunbeds, Ringo rides and other cash consuming attractions. water was lovely and the bonus was that we could then afford to eat out. Gorgeous local restaurant, so no driving, and a sumptuous seafood cataplana with wine and a colossal creme caramel.



We did a wonderful more local beach at Benagil the other day, and were stalked by a mature couple who are on the HPB Site. They parked by us sat by us on the beach, and then appeared by our pool later in the day.



The beach was beautiful though. loads of boats. lovely warm water and very clear sea.



Our tans are developing well. You can probably tell from the photos that janet is getting browned off, though it is less obvious in my case as there is less (no)photographic evidence.
