Travelled : 20 km
Visited and stayed: Mina de Sao Domingos- free parking and services, lovely spot next to a lake. N37.672218 W7.504170
We didn't want to travel far today as it's a Portuguese long weekend and we didn't want to find ourselves struggling to find a spot to stay near the beach. So we chose the closest one with a service point and set off early as this is the best time to arrive when people are leaving in the morning.
On the way we felt we were driving along the Australian countryside with the gum trees everywhere.
Having got a great spot next to the lake, we went for an explore into the old mining village and disused mine area. Copper and sulphur was mined here for over 100 years from 1858 and the effects can still be seen today.
After a relaxing afternoon we had another walk around before dinner. Not an over complex day but it was lovely in its simplicity.
