After I´ve spent many years, working in the office for companies I did not like and having lunch in their dreary canteens, I can now luckily have lunch whenever and wherever I want to.
So yesterday after our exciting morning at Praia da Cordoama, we were searching for a cool and quite spot to have our lunch that we had already prepared.
We drove a little bit further up the coast to the next beach, that is actually connected with Cordoama but was too far to walk. Here it always depends on what tide you got at the moment. On most beaches you can walk forever as long as there is low tide.
The way to that beach is via dusty and unsealed roads that make your car dirty quicker than you think. In return you get breathtaking views over the hills with the hiking trails and the coast. On some corners I would be very careful, you don´t want to do the same thing like Bitcoin does today! ;)
Once at the beach it´s time to relax. It´s one of these beaches were you can smell marijuana even in the morning hours. I will never understand how someone can smoke a joint and go for a surf, but people here do this. I would not even get out in the line up. Anyway, the vibe here is very relaxed and there were only a handfull of people at the beach plus some surfers in the water.
We did, what we can do best, explore the beach.
Again, there were huge slate rocks but here you could even see all the different layers and colours. Not as much to explore here as on the other beach but still a beautiful spot and even less people.
The water was crystal clear and I was so tempted to jump in but I haven´t had my surfboard or wetsuit with me and 15 degree is a bit too cold for shorts. Thanks to the low tide you could still climb over the rocks.
For the lunch break we´ve found a nice spot on a sand dune, protected from the wind and with a great view on the beach and the hiking trails in our back. There was an old hippie guy sitting not too far away playing guitar and burning down incense sticks that created a even better vibe.
I love days like this one and if I would have not lost my sunglasses it would have been the perfect day. :)
