Portugal and Southern Spain trip – Day 7 – Friday 16th May 2025 …..another beach day…

Not much to show and tell today….we made a packed lunch and headed to the beach. What a glorious day. Having set up camp in the harder damp, sand we noticed that some sunloungers were being hosed down and some grass thatched sun shades lay waiting to be assembled…..it looked like the season was starting. We headed straight down to the sea…there were lots in the water….but hey!!!!! Was it cold, or what ….this time I made it out to my armpits and ducked down ….an improvement on last time. John got the bottoms of his trunks wet before we bid a hasty retreat.
After about an hour we tried again. The shallow water was very warm but the further out you went the colder it got. I took the plunge and did a few strokes…..geeeee….talk about an ice bath…but I persisted doing a few strokes at a time. John showed determination and bravery and plunged in on his back. Having both taken the plunge and no longer feeling our fingers or toes we headed back to our faithful chairs.

After lunch we packed up and retired to loungers around the poolside. We both took a much longer swim before siesta time back at the apartment.
We had booked a table at La Concha. This time we choose a seafood rice pot….it was delicious, full of large prawns, mussels, clams and spider crabs legs…..all very yummy. We bid the owner farewell as tomorrow we are moving on. We can only say what a delight eating at http://www.laconcha.net has been….fine food and excellent service all for a realistic price
