40ºC yesterday...

The hottest day so far this year, yesterday we had 40ºC by noon... so we decided to refresh ourselves a bit at the beach.


Portinho da Arrabida, a tiny, beautiful little bay and beach nested in front of the Serra da Arrabida, one of the prettiest around the Lisbon / Setúbal area and a National Park due to its unique vegetation...




I just love this little island sitting right in front of the beach!


Cristal clear and calm water (we actually saw an octopus wondering by and a lot of fish :)) We had to leave before noon because I still can't sit out in the sun (but I did go for a quick swim!) and it was quickly getting too hot!

These were taken earlier this year, yesterday the beach was a bit crowded... but it's always gorgeous!


Another beautiful picture of it I found on internet


...as well as this one, that gives you a clearer view of the fishing boats.

So... how was your weekend?

  1. Beautiful photos. I used to go there a lot as a child, so these brought back some memories from those times.
