11th October 2025 – Fuseta, Portugal

Day two of our stay on The Algarve in Portugal.

We have had a lazy day sitting watching the birds from our holiday rental accommodation looking over the salt pans of Fuseta, wandering around the streets of Fuseta and spending far too much time having lunch at our favourite restaurant in this part of the world, À do Ruí. Tomorrow we must get out a bit more!

The view from our bedroom window first thing this morning.

    Hi Martin, what a wonderful place to visit. Your photographs of the flamingos in the early morning in the water are stunning. The light and reflections are a delight.
