Go West!
Restarted the day at Pastelaria petit fours bakery, avoiding the hotel buffet, which would just be calories for the sake of it.

Portugal: A fabulous late lunch
Final day: Relaxed start with boiled eggs, coastal stroll to Porto de Mós. Vibrant beach scene, refreshments, then taxi to Salema fish restaurant. Scenic meal, sea paddle, arty photos, and a stroll. Ended with St. Patrick’s Day Guinness for the gents.
Portugal – Shopping
After breakfast, we explored Lagos, indulging in the fish market and charming shops. Lunch featured sardines and a coastal walk to Burgau. Evening brought a toast and a delightful dinner at O Mexilhão.
