Its nice over near Tavira, i went there on a previous visit, ended up on Barril Beach, home to the Anchor Graveyard. (Nikon-good camera, im a proud owner of a Nikon and a Canon, both as good as each other). Keep up the excellent work.

The anchors are a relic of the Bluefin Tuna fishing industry until overfishing put pay to that. I originally thought the anchors were for the boats but they were actually used to secure the nets against the currents and Tuna.
Regarding cameras, I also use a compact Canon which is what I often take on holiday as it's less intrusive on my hand luggage allowance. |

Carlsberg we visited Praia da Barril a few years ago It is a fasinating place with the Anchors.The old Tuna sheds have been turned into accomodation for Portuguese students as a cheap holiday.It is a very beautiful area.

I'd almost forgotten about the little train and there was a small self service style restaurant the fish was very good.We are over in Oct will have to persuade our friend Helder to have a day out and revisit Barril with us.

During August we visited Sagres and Baleeira (good west coast surfer spot) and I would like to share a few photos of our visit. The first two are looking East and West at Sagres and the others are at Port at Baleeira.

About lunch time, a little cloud moving in but still turned out to be a glorious day.
This was down on one of the beaches somewhere.. |

Calicos, smashing pics, it looks lovely there. We managed to get as far over as Bordeira which has a similar stunning coastline and beautiful beach.
