Chez Vere

---

After tearing ourselves away from our beautiful campsite, we paid a brief visit to Caldas de Monchique, a nearby small spa town which was also very attractive.

Then back to the coast and a short drive east to visit Benagil, a small and supremely picturesque village where our friends Steve and Gill Vere have recently bought a house. A phone call to Gill gave us directions to their place and after climbing over their garden wall we were able to admire the seascape from their roof top barbeque area.

The afternoon was spent taking a coastal walk to the east of the village, admiring the many unusual features created by erosion of the limestone cliffs and having a fairly cold swim from one of the beaches.

A local restaurant owner allowed us to park the van on his property so we were able to stay the night here after sampling his excellent fish.
