Ten stayed for lunches of swordfish, omelettes, and pork kebabs. And we beat the rain that had started while we ate.

The sky was a little grey and a stiff breeze toyed with our caps, but the sea views never dissappoint once you reach the cliffs.

Mandatory group picture on the cliff - the view to Armação de Pêra was a little cloudy today. Among our numbers was Caroline - one of the founding members of the Carvoeiro Ramblers.

A lovely walk with fifteen Ramblers who gambled that we'd stay dry for the duration despite the small threat of rain looming.

Re: WALK MONDAY 6 APRIL: PORCHES TO ALBANDEIRA

Don When we last did this walk in January there was a slight problem with the meal. The owner was delighted to host us but not until 1.30 at the earliest due to her large local trade. We got back from the walk around 12.30. As there is not a lot of room to sit or stand around we said if we did the ...
