Porto Covo - Alijezur.

Porto Covo was beautiful and we took breakfast in a cafe along with most of the rest of the population and looking forward to a coastal run with all the promise of views of the sea and beaches. We both had some misgivings based on our experience so far and we were not disappointed. Track started well. A bit softy sandy, got worse and finally ended on the road. It emerged that this stunning run along the coast was at best a walking route (surface of soft sand and about a metre wide). Not even a mountain biking track!

By trekking about, we did find some glorious beaches, and at last a metalled road. Good old Al.

On a positive note, we did have a following wind for most of the ride and the weather was great.

Really decent hotel tonight - very bike friendly. (Bikeotel.com)

I cannot imagine what cock-ups await us tomorrow! But will sleep well tonight!
