Campsites,Portugal

We camped just outside Elva, after looking around the town. Campsite was empty except for a young couple who were on their way to visit her mother in Spain. We invited them over for popcorn and a Coke. The man who came to collect the money for the campsite was supposed to bring some change, but he never showed again, so it cost about $2 for the night.

Stopped at the campsite near Cascais, along the coast overlooking a fishing harbor and some tourist hotels. We looked for the home of Dino, our waiter on a cruise ship a few years earlier. Maria was home, Dino was on a ship. Dino and Maria had very good furniture in their home, with a large TV and a loud stereo. Also, there were several large locks on the door, which says something about living in Cascais.

Drove to Logos and found a campsite with 2,000 spaces. Many people in northern Europe leave trailers parked on the Algarve Coast all year. Some are owned by more than one family. We saw several old railroad cars that had been converted into multiple vacation “homes.”
