Seville is famous for its oranges, although most of them get shipped to Dundee to be turned into marmalade, allegedly.
We didn’t see many while we were there anyway.

A day of some historical interest in the Algarve’s former capital of Silves, followed by the obligatory beach and ice creams.
Well it was a warm day.

Every holiday we go on results in a blog post entitled “Not a Lot Happened” or something similar. This is that one !

Tavira looked like an interesting day out and was recommended as a full day excursion by our tour company. Hmmm !
It is a pleasant little town, but there’s not an awful lot to do there.

A day of surveying the Algarve coast, firstly from a boat, and then from the tops of the cliffs.
Oh yes, it was time to do a bit of geocaching.

A lazy day of booking things up for later in the holiday, followed by a night out in Albufeira Town and a caching event on the beach.

A day trip out to the very south-western tip of Portugal – to Sagres and the lighthouse at the end of the world.
It’s a bit like Land’s End, only warmer.

A lazy day of settling into our apartment after an extremely long day with a lot of travelling the day before.
It was really very warm, so we decided to max out on the “chillin” front.

If you set off for your holiday really, really early in the morning then you get an extra day. This is an especially useful concept if you remember it beforehand, and dress accordingly.
