Day Thirteen: Monsaraz

Our last day in this exquisite mountain-top village in the Alentejo region of Portugal.  Gorgeous weather yet again.  Lots of painting all day – and some stunning results.  Lots of eating.

And a cruise on the lake/dam/river – which, we were told has a total length (counting all the inlets) superior to the coastline of Portugal (more than 1800km)!

The cruise, with canapes and drinks, included a chance to see the sunset before we continued onto Telheiro, just below Monsaraz, for a sumptuous meal of roast suckling pig, litres of wine, and the largest dollop of chocolate mousse anyone had ever seen.

The second last pic is of our wonderful driver, Fernando.
