Portugal Wed. Journal 3 Happy St. Valentine's Day

This map of the Algarve province might be helpful if you haven't visited Portugal.  The Algarve is in the far south of Portugal and as such is the most southern province in mainland Europe.  The airport is in Faro and the major cities of the province are Lagos, Portimao, Albufeira and Faro.  Reaching into the mid-Atlantic is Cape St. Vincent with the Spanish border 150 km away at Ayamonte.  

Scattered along the coast are small villages such as Sagres and larger fishing towns such as Armacao de Pera, Carvoeiro, Ohlao, and Tavira.  Fishing is now a minor activity with the principle business being tourism.  Two distinct features of the Algarve are the miles and miles of beautiful sand beaches and the rolling hills and low mountains that crowd the coast.   The mountains dominate the province as far north as Alentejo province where the land is flat and wheat abounds.

I'll post some more detailed maps later.
