Trip to Praia Grande - Porto Covo

Following the route taken in the year 2009 in which we travel Portugal from north to south always close to the coast.
I have previously shared some records from the tip of Sagres and described a quick stop in Peniche and Nazaré.
Both there and here, i promise again that i will return to these places, this time i will be prepared and with the intention of making records worthy of sharing and in order to give a testimony that is closest to reality.

I have already had the opportunity to share here the place i am going to share again today, but this time from a different perspective, directly from the beach of Praia Grande in Porto Covo.

Porto Covo was a small fishing village located in the Natural Park of Southwest Alentejo and Vicentina coast, which developed a lot during the century XX, but despite this evolution, managed to retain the charm of its quiet streets with immaculately whitewashed white houses, where the sea is always the backdrop.
This beach is located right next to the village, with the characteristics of an urban beach, with good access and support infrastructures and as in practically all the beaches of the Vicentina coast, it is also surrounded by large rocks that make it more sheltered and bathed by a sea of clear waters that sometimes has a strong undulation appreciated by surfers.

In 2009 the trips were quite different from those i take today, where it is necessary to guarantee the minimum comfort for those who accompany me.
At that time it was enough to take some bucks in my pocket and a tent and everything would be resolved in the worst or best way possible :)
At this time, we were camped at the Porto Covo campsite, a very welcoming place that perfectly fulfills the purpose for which it was created and there we share adventures and confidences with people from different areas of the planet.

In a few steps through narrow trails at the top of the cliffs, it is possible to have access to a large number of beaches that appear between the cutouts of the high cliffs and each one more beautiful than the last.
In the end i am only sorry for the poor quality of the images left over to revive my memory, but after a few adjustments it was possible to improve some and recover others that i present here today.
