Interesting wine. We have discovered that we can visit and taste and that they have a restaurant. Trying to find out if we can park overnight. There should have been a photo of baked Camembert to go with this but it seems to have disappeared. #wp #gastrovanners #gastrovanner #weddinganniversary #wine #portugal

Bikes recharging after a ride into Vila Nova de Milfontes. We took the back roads over rutted and potholed sand. Ouch. Also, unfriendly ankle snapping dogs en route. (14.7 Km round trip) Town was busy and confused us with an unexpected one-way system but we found both the SPAR and a local supermarket but the shopping wasn’t good. Next time we will try the market hall. Today we are going to lunch at the site restaurant. Last time we were here we found it to be quite good, better than most sites offer anyway. Hopefully it hasn’t changed management and remains as good. Still disappointed by the changes at Ribamar! #wp #portugal #vilanovademilfontes #bikes

Broaching a new one. How many is that now… seven? I have no real idea any longer. Perhaps I should have actually drawn those five bar gates (or drunk less port) Anyway: port, olive oil cheese, pecans and dates. A feast. #wp #gastrovanners #gastrovanner #port #portugal
