Long Week-end Portugal


Gerry & Cath's Place, Quinta Do Lago, Uploaded by M+MD.

This September we were 25 years married. We managed to celebrate more than once - as you do. Our third and final celebration was a trip to Quinta Do Lago near Faro on the Algarve. We travelled out with Gerry and Cath and stayed in their beautiful house which overlooks the Ria Formosa, just past Lakeside in Quinta. They spend much of the summer there and you can see why. The weather was lovely and warm and the place was generally pretty quiet - although the plane travelling over was pretty full. We had a very relaxing four days - we played none holes of golf each evening, Pineros Alto; and the front and back nine in Quinta South.

Breakfast was in De Barras sometime in the mid morning. The rest of the time we lazed around and ate well. We had yet another wonderful meal in "A Quinta" above Almancil. We ate at the 2 Passos restaurant on the beach one evening - the food and the service was good - though the atmosphere was a little lacking. On the Monday it rained - so we shopped in Faro! Its good to get the sun on your back especially after the summer we had and the winter setting in.
