Another fabulous page. I especially like your Faro photos. Even though I spent one day there, I missed the street art. :o)

Excellent wildlife shots in Ria Formosa - you must have some serious lenses attached!! Ah yes, the rental car scene on a side road brings back great memories of exploring Portugal. Looking forward to more pages.
