Sagres - the town and the beer


Happy Traveller!
With no surf in Villa Nova de Milfontes, we pushed further south to Sagres on the South Western corner of Portugal and of Europe. As well as the name of this town, Sagres is also the name of a famous beer in Portugal!

The G Wagen - gets us everywhere!
We spent 2 nights in a little camp ground just outside of town where every morning and every evening, a herd of goats and their shepherds went past on their way too and from somewhere. I got some good waves around Sagres and the scenery was spectacular. We werent so keen on the local people we met and every shop we went in to, be it a restaurant, supermarket of hamburger shop, everyone seemed to be very grumpy. Perhaps there was some reason why but after how friendly everyone else was in Portugal, it was a bit of a rude shock.
