Europe 2017 – day 14

So, having decided to skip our second day in Lisbon, we packed up the car and headed out to Bellum to see the Tower of St Vincent. We then headed out to the area known as Sintra about an hour’s drive west of Lisbon. This area is full of historic buildings. The one place that we were able to spend some time was the Castle of the Moors. It’s high on a hill and enjoys magnificent 360 degree panoramic views.

We got on the road again around lunchtime, and headed north. We decided not to stop in Porto, but instead, opted to find something smaller, a little bit quieter, maybe a little fishing village somewhere.

Google Maps had us headed for a couple of towns called Fao and Esposende, about an hour north of Porto. We.got up there and absolutely fell in love with the place straight away. We found a nice little restaurant called Sublime, had dinner and then it was off to the beach to take a couple of sunset photos. It was here that I shot the image of Cath watching the sun go down. It was a great day.
