Beja

On the last full day we visited Beja and Ferreira further south than we had been before in Alentejo region. On the way we saw 4 bee eaters and countless storks. It is true to say we are both "tiled out"! Coloured tiles and steps are an enduring memory. On the way down we stopped to taste olive oil and seedless grapes and on the way back we stopped to taste yet more wine and climb yet more steps!

To be honest the drive today was more interesting than the visits. I got the feeling SAGA was trying to fill the day with something interesting. We would have preferred a longer day out yesterday and a shorter trip today with more leisure time.
