Wednesday 2 October: Porto Covo

 We wake to the sound of drips on the roof of the van. It’s not exactly raining but there is a heavy sea mist and everything is quite wet. It’s warm however. We pack up at a leisurely pace and then wander into town to buy some local wine and some fruit from the covered market. We then head up the coast, only half an hour or so to Porto Covo. When we arrive at the campsite the access road is closed for roadworks and we are told to return after 1pm. We park the van, have a coffee and pastel de Nata and explore the town. It’s pretty but quite developed with a lot of building work in progress. And it’s still very misty so we’re probably not seeing it at its best. We check in and find a pitch. It’s pretty full infact and getting fuller. After bread and cheese we wander along the coast and see the local coves. We sit on one for a while but it starts to drizzle so we move on. The evening is still and warm and we cook Tuna Pasta and eat outside by candlelight.
