4th March 2024 – Carvoeiro, Portugal

The spring flowers are already quite abundant along the coast of The Algarve but you can’t help feeling that with a little more warmth of spring there will soon be a riot of colour.

Yesterday afternoon ,as we walked a little from our clifftop hotel in Porches-Armação de Pêra, in the Algarve, up above the Senhora da Rocha beach, we saw lots of examples of the local flora.

Again this morning we walked another short section of the coast from Algar Seco to the pretty coastal village of Carvoeiro.
