Day 16: Cascais, Portugal

Got up late and spent the first half of the day walking around Casais. We wandered along the many narrow and colourful streets, browsed through little shops, visited the lighthouse and enjoyed a light lunch and Portuguese tarts by the sea while watching people laze and play on the beach. After lunch we drove along the west coast visiting various beaches, some tiny inlets and others hugh expanses. As the afternoon wore on it became quite windy and we came across a beach where there were many people kite surfing – it was quite a spectacle! There looks to be an enormous amount of talent and strength needed to control the kites and some of the wave jumps were extraordinary.

We made our way back to the hotel once again following the setting sun. Packed ready to leave for Barcelona tomorrow morning. Our holiday is more han half over already.
