Portugal: The Algarve Coast

Portugal: The Algarve Coast

February 2004

The Algarve is along Portugal's south coast. We flew into Faro where we were picked up and taken to Albufeira, the town where we stayed for the week. It was such a treat to spend a week in the sunshine (except for a wee bit of rain) and warm weather. I see why it is such a Brit holiday destination!

Two men on a bench in the town square	We took a day trip to Seville, Spain (why? Because it is there, of course!) This is in the plaza de Espana	Me and Jerry and the plaza

Seville was one of our rainy days. Here we were waiting out a downpour.	This is the tomb of Christopher Columbus inside the cathedral in Seville. It is the third largest cathedral in the world (to St. Peter's in Rome and St. Paul's in London. For a picture of St. Paul's from my London trip, click here.)	The altar area

More shots looking out the tower windows	Jerry, very happy that I stopped at almost every window for a picture!

Cool looking building in Seville	Back in Portugal, Jerry in the town of Lagos, along the Algarve coast, about a 1.5 hour bus ride from Albufeira	Me in Lagos. From this vantage point, it could have been Southern California!
