Today was a cold blustery, sunny day which we spent outdoors. First on our list was to drive to Segres and visit the lighthouse on the point. This is the Lighthouse of Cabo de Sao Vicente on the southwest point of Portugal. The lighthouse is quite new. The views were wonderful.
A short distance away we stopped to see Fort Beliche. It was not open but I took a photo through the gate. The view below that is from their parking lot.
Another viewpoint on our way back to Segres for lunch. If you look closely you can see some people standing on a ledge center left. You can see the steps leading down to the beach from there. Also note the dots in the water - these are surfers. This whole area seems to be very popular with surfers.
On to lunch. I have been wanting to have a great fish meal. So far we have had no luck. I did have fish once before, but it was dried and tasteless. Rob found Segres Doca Da Pesco which is a restaurant with a Auction Hall for seafood. We were too early for the auction which started around 4 - 4:30pm. The floor at the bottom is where the seafood is shown. Those bidding on the lots are seated above. The restaurant is on the 3rd level. I took a picture through a window of the restaurant down to the auction hall.
The fish was fresh and delicious. This is sea bass.
The port is called Porta da Baleeira.
The grands in front of the restaurant.
The boat on the left pulled in just as we exited the restaurant.
photos deceptively don't capture the wind!
