Into the hills

---

A fairly relaxed day

The morning was spent wandering around the small town and beach of Luz. It seemed a normal small holiday resort with plenty of British tourists and was difficult to believe that it has been the centre of so much recent media interest.

After updating the weblog in an internet café, we drove a short way along the coast to Portimão and then inland to Serra de Monchique and its highest point at 900m, Fóia where it was quite cold and windy.

After having lunch in the shelter of the van just below the summit with magnificent views over the Algarve coast we descended to stop for the night at a campsite just outside Caldas de Monchique which also had an impressive mountain panorama.
