I stayed on an Avacado farm
When the trees are mature they will produce around 400 avocados each year
I took a boat trip to see the cliffs
And the caves
I met some long lost distant relatives (Sarah is my Great Uncle Graham’s cousin)
Their two lovely children now call me ‘Aunty Alex’
I stayed with them for a couple of nights
They have a great view of Monchique and amazing sunsets
The children took me exploring the smugglers tunnels – you can walk all the way under the cliff from one beach to another
I swam in their pool
Went on a clifftop walk with Sarah and her friends
And revisited the amazing Bengil cave, this time by swimming rather than boat
A great way to end my wonderful journey though Portugal
Next stop Seville, Spain
