RE: I finally decided to introduce myself.
I loved the Algarve region. I lived there for a while in the hills of a tiny town not on the map called Pedralva about 8 km from Vila do Bispo. There was a problem in the states and I wanted to escape from my life so I just flew to Spain and contacted some hippies I met in Copenhagen some years before and they were all living on a farm there. Why did I ever go back to the States? I have no idea, but Algarve is a magical place filled with magic people and peace and plenty of hippies with goats. Thanks for the story mate! If you ever meet the folks from the Punk Farm (Casa do Burro), tell them a stranger from the internet says hi!
Hiya chickenbone, you were not too far from Sagres then?
We are way east just outside Tavira. Not as touristy over this side. Mainly fishing villages.
Yup I would say we are escaping too. The world is not a place I'm too keen on any more lol
No, not very far at all. I used to walk down the 20k to get to the beaches at Sagres or in the other direction toward Carrapateira. Of course I always had my thumb out and Portuguese people are really generous about picking up hitchhikers! Sometimes though I would just walk and meet people in the local digs. I wish I was there now hahah. But Tavira, I never got so far east, and only got as far as Faro hitching north through Spain after my time in the corner.
