The 7000 year old megalithic stone circle near Evora is up a potholed and corrugated dusty track lined with cork trees.
We met a couple there from California who reminded us it was the summer solstice. Had we known we might have risen before dawn and watched the rays of the sun line up over the stones. Now that would have been something!
I was in Ericeira for five minutes and loved it. We have a small sunny balcony where we can sit and the beach and the rest is just a stroll away, which is what we took for an hour after we arrived.
