H.P.B. Rocha Brava 12 - Bird Watching

SWMBO wanted to go birdwatching so we spent a morning with an extremely enthusiastic and knowledgeable English chap who had spent many years living in Portugal.
It turned in to a morning of birds and flowers...

H.P.B. Rocha Brava 11 - Coast Walk

The walk back from Smugglers Cove along the cliff path was pretty treacherous in places and was more like rock climbing than cliff top rambling - of course, we didn't realise it would be like that so we didn't exactly have the best shoes on for the terrain.
Worth it for the flowers though...

H.P.B. Rocha Brava 10 - Smugglers Cove

This is the access to Smugglers Cove near the complex - not that easy to find, but worth it

There's a strange 'hidey hole' next to the steps

An orange tree. I think the locals wondered why we were photographing it!
