PORTUGAL REVISITED - 2019 was a good year (Part one)

I have been exchanging thoughts about travel with my Hive-friend Rick who encouraged me to share my travel photos from last year. In a comment on his post about Italy I complained that 2020 is a total loss - stuck at home because of Covid. So all I can do is relive my many trips last year, and the most memorable was to Portugal. A artist friend from Canada, Paulo Cunha, whom I had known for many years, but only then met personally, had invited me to spend some time with him in his native Portugal, at the condominium he inherited from his parents at Praia da Areia Branca.

Prior to staying with my friend Paul, I spent a couple of days in Lisbon.

You can find a ton of photos just from this first day of discovering Lisbon in my Flickr album PORTUGAL 2019 - LISBON Day One

Let's return to the coast, 3 days later, Praia da Areia Branca:

same day, we visited nearby Alto da Pinhoa, and Paul's ancestral village Moita Dos Ferreiros

If you notice the clay pots on the windmills - they play a tune as the wind blows through them.
