West of the beaches at Armacao de Pera are alternating cliffs and coves, and a trail system links these for several miles. Before leaving the area on May 16th, we had a nice walk along the trail, enjoying views of the coast, the sea, the cliffs, the beaches. It's the Atlantic now, not the Mediterranean, but Portugal's southern coast seems far less wild than its western coast.

Among the little coves, this one pretty well developed; others
less so |

| Out on a little point, a chapel |
 |
| Big but less populated beach |
 |
| The rock is mostly sandstone, I think, and cave-ins do happen |
 |
| Serious fishing going on here |

| Floatsam, jetsam |
