This is another of those “quick posts about places that we went” posts. It’s not going to be a long and in-depth review, it’s more for the record. We have been staying a few miles up the beach in Praia dos Salgados all week, and fancied something a bit different. It was a windy day but we walked along the beach to Armação de Pêra, which did involve a leap of faith across a tidal bar (the tide hadn’t quite gone out enough). Armação de Pêra is an old fashioned fishing village, where they still launch boats from the beach, so all the pots and paraphernalia are all out on the beach as you walk by.
We strolled around a bit and settled on a cheap beach side cafe where we had some toasties and salads and chips between us. Nothing out of this world and no photo for once.
So instead you’ll have to make do with a photo I took on the beach on the walk back. Into a head wind. Where we all got sandblasted. Forget micro beads. If you want exfoliation, just walk along a sandy beach into a head wind.
A lovely stroll to a quiet little village, despite the wind. It’s no Albufeira, and thank goodness for that. A simple no frills cafe on the beach, and that will do nicely.
