This morning we left Spain for Portugal and the end to our one night hotel stands. Hopefully this will help 3rd M sleep through the night since he has been getting up at least once each night for the past few days. Our ride to Portugal was in a comfortable aircraft where every seat was either a window or an aisle seat. Once again I had to search under most of the seats near us to make sure I collected all the things 3rd M distributed around the cabin.

Below is the view from our hotel room. Below that is the same view a few hours later. When we arrived there was a nice breeze. Later on it is no longer a breeze. If you windsurf or kite surf, this seems to be your destination.

We have definitely left the calm warmth of the Alboran Sea and have the much cooler Atlantic to swim in. This also means the offshore breeze is refreshingly cool. Finding a sheltered spot on the beach was a challenge but once again 3rd M’s charm got us a spot with a wonderful set of German twins and their mother in a sheltered spot right next to the snack shack. It is amazing what you can do with a smile.
