The sea front at Luz
Luz was a very pleasant moderately sized town which had been a busy fishing village in earlier times. Many of the old fishing villages have switched their interests to tourism. Half the population are outsiders who have bought properties there, mainly the British. There was evidence of the Romans and we looked over some diggings of a Roman bath, behind the wall.
At the centre of the town was the church interestingly shared by the Roman Catholics and the expat Anglicans. It was in the typical style of the country, white and yellow

We then set off the the West to the small town of Figuera where we started out on a long walk towards the coast. The route wandered around through two small villages and along semi-overgrown tracks but we didn't get too lost en route. There were two coves on the way and one had a pleasant restaurant for a morning break.
As was always the case there were beautiful flowers everywhere.
There were may isolated properties on the way and the last photograph shows a typical residence. In the background you can see some wind turbines. There were many of these on top of many of the surrounding hills.
