Playa Quemada
Very quiet village both on-shore and in the anchorage. Lovely pebble and sand beach. Only for settled North/North-Westerly conditions.
Anchorage
Playa Francesca, La Graciosa
A beautiful anchorage, peaceful for 20 hours a day. We relaxed, climbed most of a mountain, and had a “crashy wave” incident in the dinghy.
Isla Culatra
Beautiful island. Peaceful, lots to explore, good shelter for riding out some bad weather.
Isla Almora
Perhaps our favourite of the islands in this estuary – unfortunately our visits were curtailed by the weather.
Olhão
Lovely town we visited on three occasions – excellent market, lots of back-streets to explore, easy to get to from the nearby anchorages by ferry/dinghy or sailboat!
Faro
Anchored just outside a mooring field, had a visitor (Nana G) staying with us, good few days close to the city and exploring the saltmarsh.
Alvor
Once we were settled Arthur’s first words were something along the lines of “its good to be at anchor. It is beautiful here.” He was right on both counts.
Seixal
A stormy night in a sheltered anchorage. Dreaming about anchor alarms.
Cascais
Sheltered anchorage just outside the moored fishing boats. Winter wonderland, beach visit, will return to the town but had to move on because of the weather forecast!
