The Southern Coast Roadtrip part dos

Day 4

Well, we spent all day on the beaches in Lagos. There is a lot of cool stuff to explore if you are brave enough to swim around in the rocky coves. We struck off north along the eastern coast of Portugual to find somewhere else to hang out. Caitlin turned off the highway on a small little dirt road and we found this beautiful meadow filled with flowers in the Portuguese hills next to the Atlantic. We set up camp here and took the walk to the beach.


We walked up to the beach (below) which turned out to be a small and hidden surfer´s haven.



Day 5


The meadows were ablaze with purple and yellow flowers.
We were running out of food, but had plenty of Nutella (nutbutter) and learned that it goes good with everything. Jason used this logic to engineer a snack involving a cookie, nutbutter, and a canned oyster. He gagged a little before he could swallow it.We struck inland with plans to go ?


At this point it had been 4 days without a shower, we didnt have any cups so I had to drink wine out of a bowl. When I was chopping wood and a piece flew up and nicked my chin.
We stopped in another walled city in portugal named Serpa. This place was awesome. The people in Portugal are very nice and inviting, and I suspect it is because they do not experience tourism in waves as spain does. There were really no tourists in sight here.

We drove into the night and found this fascinating little town in the middle of nowhere that was having their fair. The town was real small, and we were the only foriegners out on the streets. We walked around and stumbled upon the main square where, you guessed it, A portuguese Bon Jovi cover band was performing amidst a confused looking crowd. We then did the bumper cars and struck off on the road again.

This castle was pretty cool.mejason
We drove through sevilla only with minor navigational difficulties and arrived in Granada at about 7 am, where we returned our car and slept for a while.
