It’s been a while since I last put some pictures in this blog. A couple of days ago, on one of the many official Portuguese holidays (incredible how many official holidays do exist in this country, they have them for oh so many reasons, and I am pretty sure that the Portuguese would even invent reasons for having public holidays), I was walking around the aria where I live and couldn’t resist taking some pictures which I like to share with you. They were all taken within the range of 15 minutes walking from my house. Sometimes, when the sun is shining (and I must admit, on average that happens some three hundred and thirty [330] days a year), it’s really enjoyable to live here in Southern Europe.

Today was a very lazy Saturday. The weather was not fine, it was cloudy, rainy, and still pretty cool for the time of the year. But after all, today was the last day of February, still winter… what can we really expect? Ok, this is Southern Europe, but sometimes the dark blue Algarvian sky changes in a grey and cloudy sky as well.

So… no cycling today, as I never go out on the bike when it’s raining. As I stated it earlier on this blog, I will never win the Tour de France anymore. Instead of cycling, I decided to go for a walk in my neighbourhood. So I went to Cacela Velha, the old part of the village where I am living. In my humble opinion, this is one of the most beautiful places I have seen. Not only of this region or country, but in the whole world. It is a pitty that the light was not perfect, so the pictures below, which I took in the late afternoon, are pretty grey.

But one day, I promiss, I will take the same walk again, and the same pictures, with the normal deep blue Algarvian sky…
