6th February - Fabrica and Cabanas
Hot day with clear blue skies and breakfast on the terrace
A short drive out towards Barril beach which is on one of the large sandbanks off the coast. Accessed
by a bridge and then there is a little train which takes you across the sand bank. Interesting to see numerous motorhomes parked up just along from the walkway. Not sure if its official.
We parked up and walked to the bridge to see ......
But agreed with the thought and carried on. The woman driving the train was very pleasant but said
she couldn't take dogs on the train. It is now very hot and Gybo is panting. A 1.5 k walk there and back would not have been ideal, so we decided to do it another day, and drove on to Fabrica. A gorgeous little village also on the Rio de Formosa Reserve with popular restaurant on the front. (Closed on mondays of course), but definately somewhere to come back to.
Gybo (that one that was on death's door 3 weeks ago) absolutely loved the beach and ran around at full speed in and out of the water.
We drove back via another village also on the edge of the Reserve. Cabanas.
Having driven through the main thoroughfare looking for somewhere to park up we ended up a row back from the beach in a shaded spot. We were planning to leave the dogs inside. But i checked the temperature inside and it was 23.5. Even opening the skylight and windows slightly may not keep that temperature down. So the dogs came to.
Had a great lunch in a sunny spot near the beach, and the calamaries were delicious.
