Left Albufiera this morning, and drove through several small towns, and then through Faro.    Still very difficult to find parking in these cities, so just drove through.    Went to Tavira, and THOUGHT my hotel was near the water, but NOPE.   Not sure what I was doing, but this one is clear up in the hills in rural Portugal!  In the far distance you can see the ocean.The Quinta Do Marco is located at 18 acres, where they have fruit and olive trees and gardens to grow some of the food they cook.   They have a pool, baby pool and hot tub along with the pool bar.   There is a small spa (with sauna and Turkish bath).    You can make an appointment for a massage also.     They also have some farm animals (donkeys, sheep, chickens, geese, peacocks) for the kids to get a kick out of.   I found...
