Portugal Road Trip - Mum's First Time in the Algarve
My mum flew out to visit me in Portugal so, naturally, I drove her to the wild, rugged southwest coast she'd never seen before. This is our West Algarve road trip: Aljezur, Sagres, Lagos, and all the hidden spots in between. We based ourselves right on Praia da Arrifana, an Airbnb literally at the foot of a cliff, with waves so loud we could hear them from bed (it was amaaazing). Over four days we explored some of the most dramatic coastline I've seen since moving to Portugal 📍 Places featured in this video: Praia da Arrifana, Aljezur Praia de Monte Clérigo Odeceixe village & windmill Fortaleza de Sagres & Cabo de São Vicente Ponta da Piedade, Lagos (boat cave trip) Praia de Zambujeira do Mar Vila Nova de Milfontes 🍽️ Restaurants/Coffee Shops we loved: Bar da Praia da Arrifana The Bakery, Aljezur O Zé, Aljezur Restaurante Museu da Bata Doce Koyo Speciality Coffees A Tasca, Sagres Restaurant A Sagres Adega da Marina, Lagos MADA Restaurant & Bar Restaurante Oasis, Vila Nova de Milfontes Time stamps: 00:00 - Introduction 01:24 - Praia da Arrifana & Our Airbnb (https://www.airbnb.co.uk/rooms/418548...) 03:16 - Introducing my Mum 04:11 - Bar da Praia da Arrifana 05:10 - The Bakery 05:27 - Praia de Monte Clérigo & O Zé 06:18 - Odeceixe 07:07 - Restaurante Museu da Bata Doce 08:35 - Some reflections 10:24 - Koyo Speciality Coffees 11:00 - Sagres - A Tasca 11:20 - Fortress of Sagres 14:40 - Restaurant A Sagres 15:12 - Cabo de São Vicente 15:33 - Farol da Ponta da Piedade 16:37 - Lagos - Adega da Marina 16:58 - Lagos Boat Trip (booked with - Lagos Grotto Trips) 17:53 - MÁDÁ Restaurant 19:03 - Praia de Zambujeira do Mar 19:16 - Vila Nova de Milfontes 19:35 - Restaurante Oasis, Vila Nova de Milfontes 👋 I'm Jessica.
