The road to Portugal.

Where is the lagoon, no lagoon at Pessequeiro when we were there a few years ago?

It's Lago do Santo Andre.

but surely that pic is the open sea.
if not sorry but the sun looks to be setting far away over open ocean with no surf.

Only waves about 4feet,but quite an undertow.

but great pics anyway. you have a good time. lots to see .
these days i always carry a wooden old fashioned belly board . great for playing in the waves .
cant do the malibu anymore ,havnt for years but always belly boarding .
still have some from the early 60,s that was my mum and dads . my lad broke my one from being a kid a few years ago. but great bits of kit for playing at being kids . hee hee.

very often thats blocked off in winter only the end of the road bit is available there.
used to be good years ago at pego and parkin the old ladies hard ground . but she died and it got a bit worse year after year.
mind its an interesting ride around the lake if you still can . we did it on motorbikes about 10 yrs ago. at times you wonder if you will make it .
theres some nice perch fish to be had sometimes .
have fun its making us all want to load up and join you.

lots places up that coast. just go slow and look around .
but inland https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@43.0081598,-8.9215999,568m/data=!3m1!1e3
here at brandomil is nice. the picnic area is right by the roman bridge . hard standing .
makes a night stop or just a nice resting place.
