Arriving in Porto Covo around 8 pm we decided to eat in the hotel itself. I had a perfect room overlooking the sea. The restaurant looked to be first class and we weren’t disappointed.
We were staying here for three nights, and would be exploring the villages and towns nearby.
The next morning we had a delicious buffet breakfast together. Before setting off for the day I went for a walk along the cliff top.
I took the above photos sitting on the veranda. A man doing Tai Chi and a family of joggers.
Photos below of my walk along the cliff top. It was a beautiful walk. It went around in a loop to the back of the village. Alternatively, you could keep walking further along the top. There was a warning about the stairs being unstable down to the beach, so gave that a miss.

What a difference a day made! The weather was beautiful on one of the days.

The village of Porto Covo is picturesque and postcard perfect. I could easily visit here again, preferably in the summer months. We did eat out one night at a fabulous Italian Pizza place. On our third night we opted for the hotel again as the heavens opened as we were about to walk out of the door!

Sunshine makes everything look better and everyone feel better
It does indeed, I don’t like being out in the rain
Me neither
I’ve copied the link into today’s post, so I don’t forget next week. Thank you xx
Thanks Jo 🙂
I am curious why did you visit Porto Covo? We have driven through a few times and isant it near the gas refinery?
I don’t know actually. My brother works in Portugal and was told it was a nice place to visit. It has a beautiful coastline and doesn’t seem like a tourist trap
In summer it’s hectic round there but much quieter at this time of year xx
Yes we said it would be super busy especially with surfers
I just checked and it’s in Sines, 20 minutes away. This is where my brother works
Porto’s one of my favourite place. But when we went there in late October 2023, it was pouring everyday. There were some days that we just had to stay home. Nice shots Ali.
Maybe you were in actual Porto which is further North I think 🤔
Thanks 🙂
We so enjoyed our tour of Portugal earlier this year, Ali. I’ll try and get round to reading your earlier posts as I know you visited some of the same places, but your posts landed during my break from blogging duties! I promise I’ll do my best to find time xx
Haha no problem Phil, I’m enjoying Michaela’s Instagram posts and photos
Portugal was such a nice break for me and I saw so much in a week
And I’m back on the blog posting trail too…even though I thought I wouldn’t 🤷🏻♂️
It’s in your blood! Why waste a talent like yours
Oooh Ali you are as good as me at flattery 😂😁
This looks a nice place to stay and the cliff top walk is gorgeous!
It was a really nice treat staying in that hotel as well
We spent a night in Porto Covo when we did the Fishermen’s Trail. It was much more quaint than we expected. Nice pictures. Maggie
Thanks Maggie, there were some lovely little bays
What a difference beautiful weather makes. Your photos are gorgeous. And hotel breakfasts are the best! They’re always a nice treat and a change from self catering.
Thanks Carol. I do like a hotel with a seaview!
Me too. Ours in Civitavecchia and Pireaus both looked out over the boulevards and the sea. They were beautiful and both had fantastic breakfasts.
Makes all the difference to a good holiday
Beautiful pictures!
Thanks Meg
