Algarve

Golden cliffs, sea stacks and a whitewashed town above a very blue sea. An Algarve tile made to order in Porto. Three sizes from 20 EUR.

Whitewashed steps and a wall the sun has been on all day, red flowers against it, and beyond them the cliffs and sea stacks going gold into a very blue sea. A fishing boat pulled up on the sand, a white town on the headland, and one of those lace-cut Algarve chimneys in the corner.

Fado Gato sits on the wall watching the water, entirely unhurried.
