Our goal is but a hundred miles or so away, we are so excited to end this long journey and quit this hotel life for a goodly while. Spain has been very pretty and very agricultural as well. We're ready for boats, coast line, beaches and FISH to eat while in Portugal for 4 weeks (initially, then extended to 6 weeks). The border is a river crossing at the beautiful Guadiana International Bridge.

Going toward Albufeira we see acres and acres of orange trees lining both sides of the road. Is this a part of Florida?! or southern California?! Orange trees are seen everywhere, mile after mile. Once off the E1 highway and onto a local highway the N125 there are iterant orange stands here and there as you drive along offering bags of oranges at discount prices. Huge arrays of apartment blocks appear and line any and virtually all beach areas. More housing than I've seen anywhere I've ever been! These are largely empty too, over-built and some stopped in mid construction. It's a shame and a travesty of over development and mindless greed (My left-wing bent is showing).
