Porto Covo is a very relaxed fishing village on the Portuguese coast south of Lisbon. I love the way they place stone seats in the middle of the Main Street.






There are a load of walkways running along the sandy/rocky coast here.



After Covo, we moved up the coast to Foz, and parked about 5 metres back from a sand-rimmed lagoon.


The weather was turning wet and cold so we beetled up to the Douro valley where we stopped the night at Quinta de Lourosa. This is a vineyard where they brew vinho verde, and sparkling white, rosé and red. We had a mini tasting with the delightful owner and have stashed a few bottles away in the boot.


Peter Jennings you are posting some shocking awful photos of me!!!! Love ‘The Missus’
