<\/a>It is just spectacular. After seeing the beaches with all the cliffs around them, which I thought were beautiful, this is even more impressive when you realize that this is real nature , the wild cliffs and the indomitable sea all formed over Many many millennia. The storks nest on the cliffs and I see them flying overhead. They are absolutely magnificent\u00c2\u00a0and they are huge. There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s hardly any humans here, just the occasional hiker coming through on the trail. This is another ideal spot for painting. Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Tuesday and it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s bright and sunny […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1730","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-award-of-merit","wpcat-1-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carmelbrennan.com\/carmel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1730","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carmelbrennan.com\/carmel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carmelbrennan.com\/carmel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carmelbrennan.com\/carmel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carmelbrennan.com\/carmel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1730"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/carmelbrennan.com\/carmel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1730\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1745,"href":"https:\/\/carmelbrennan.com\/carmel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1730\/revisions\/1745"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carmelbrennan.com\/carmel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1730"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carmelbrennan.com\/carmel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1730"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carmelbrennan.com\/carmel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1730"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
Now I am at Cabo Sard\u00c3\u00a2o, only about a 12 minute drive north of where I am staying. This wasn’t on my list of places to see but, it was mentioned in the Rota Vincentina hiking book so I thought, since it was close by I’d take a look. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>
I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m sitting on the bench right close to the edge of the cliff. I feel a bit anxious, and yet it is absolutely serene around here.\u00c2\u00a0
After about an hour and a half of gaping, gawking and photographing, I walked back up the trail past the lighthouse to the car.
In an hour or so I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll go back into town or maybe I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll go to S\u00c3\u00a1o Te\u00c5\u008dtonio to grab some supplies. I have leftover dinner from last night, so I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not worried about that. I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll starve around here! Maybe tomorrow I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll go onto Vila Nova de Milfontes, another larger town on my list to explore.
I reheated my leftovers from last night\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s dinner. Remember, the white beans and octopus in the tomato sauce. I added a cut up zucchini or a courgette as they call them here and I added some hot sauce and a little salsa. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s even better than last night but that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s what leftovers are. You should try the recipe it is a Galician style of cooking.
My fire-making skills have dropped off tonight so I decided I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d eat instead and poured a glass of wine. That seem to stave my frustration for now. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll try again later.
By the way, this meal is not for people who are diabetic, as I am, a diet controlled diabetic. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s high carb with the white beans and probably the sauce, however, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s an ideal winter meal – warms you up, especially with the touch of hot sauce. And I know you can get frozen octopus over there, so it would be easy to make.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
