Hi both enjoying your videos and can concur about Luz and Lagos which is a favourite area of the Algarve for us in the winter. We head straight for Turiscampo in Jan for a couple of weeks to relax away from the UK winter weather and generally stay a couple of weeks. Turiscampo is a fabulous base and they arrange a hire car for us to explore some favourite places like beautiful Loule for the Saturday market. After Luz we head for Tavira another favourite place, then in to Spain. We love Portugal and have done much of the west coast on our way down South. Enjoy your travels ! 😊
Good afternoon and thanks for watching , we're heading back to Portugal soon it's a beautiful place isn't it. We really enjoyed Taveria, great spot for photography and lots of options. Happy New Year best wishes Helen and Martin
I have been dreaming of visiting Portugal for a very long time. Even my co-worker, who is from Lisbon, always describes it as South America in Europe haha. So watching this video brings me extra motivation to plan it this year and visit. Thank you so much for creating these walking tours and allowing us to get a sense of what it is like to be in this beautiful part of the world. Sending much love and take care, my friend :)
Hi thanks very much for watching and you kind words. It is a beautiful country and the people there are also great. We hope you get to visit best wishes Helen and Martin
Not sure whether I felt colder here in the UK because of the sunshine there, or whether your sunshine actually made me feel warmer!! .... or perhaps it was my beer(s) that made me confused. Nice to see that at the end of a walk, the reward always seems a table at an open air cafe!! Thank you for the update, and yes, it was nice to see the sunshine; you probably made us all very jealous.
Hi Roger , the sunshine makes everything better doesn't it . Thanks very much for watching and supporting the channel we really appreciate it. Best wishes Helen and Martin
Lovely look at Luz & Lagos. When I went down to Lagos (twice, while living in Peniche) I had not remembered the Madeleine McCann story… I’d heard of it, like most people in the world, but when I visited in 2016 & 2017, I wasn’t really aware of ‘where’ it took place. Portugal wasn’t on my radar, at all, when that poor little girl was stolen from her family. After all these years, they appear to have found a viable suspect but do not know where she is. Heartbreaking. I’m glad that when I was there I had no sense of that, so my judgement was in no way impaired and I thoroughly enjoyed my visits… did you get to Sagres? Now that is a place to behold!
Oh she did Lynda , the dog permissible beaches have been few and far between and she so loves the beach. Thanks for watching , our best wishes to you Helen and Martin
My brain cannot cope watching Santa Clause on a Golf Buggy in a warm climate in the middle of January 😂 very impressed how green it is out there. You could have been on the East Sussex Downs in some of that video.
Looks like a lovely place. A bit further up than where we are now 😊 Campsite looks like a good one. The whole of the Algarve seems to be full at the moment 💜x
We agree , we weren’t planned to be there at Christmas either , our 90 day plan originally saw us being back in Norfolk by mid December , but we caught Covid and had to push back the trip by a month. We took your feedback and light touched Christmas. Normal service resumes in the next video . Thanks for you help and support best wishes Helen and Martin.
@@helenandmartinsTreks I just told her indoors about my Christmas comment and she said I was a bit miserable and she would have liked to watch it lol. That’s me with no Breakfast lol
Hi yes we did as we stayed over New Year and everywhere gets busy. It’s a good site generally with average pitches. Thanks for watching best wishes Helen and Martin
I am thinking that a couple or a double blow up canoe would be good on you travels. Somthing like the Itiwit range from Decathlon. In the 3 man we easily get myself, her indoors and our dog also called Poppy. They are great fun and I am sure you could find space for them in your van This sort of thing ua-cam.com/video/ONiRgGFQcIk/v-deo.html

Praia Da Luz looks lovely. Loved Santa driving around the site in the golf buggy. Great walks too. Thanks for sharing. Irvine & Karen
Thanks Irvine and Karen , we enjoyed our stay there but enjoyed the next place at Peniche even more. Thanks for watching Best Wishes Helen and Martin

Hi Jen , we didn't get to Sagres , always leave somewhere for next time is one of our sayings. It is on our radar though. Thanks for watching H and M
@@helenandmartinsTreks I hope you’ll have plenty of ‘next times’ in Portugal 🇵🇹

A popular place isn't it , as you rightly side in your video a great place to relax. Thanks for watching H and M
Seeing Santa in his red winter gear next to the bloke with his top off was an interesting sight lol. Santa in the heat just seems wrong to me

Hi yes we did as we stayed over New Year and everywhere gets busy. It’s a good site generally with average pitches. Thanks for watching best wishes Helen and Martin
