...of a real summer. I was lucky enough to escape the deluge for two weeks in Portugal... Blisteringly hot and beautiful. Planned to spend most time in quiet Eastern Algarve but a seaweed attack made the water un-swimable for a week so we headed along to the main touristy stretch near Albufeira. Expected tourist hell but found quiet cove heaven... Even had one beach all to ourselves for an afternoon. Prejudices overturned.
Guadiana river swim near Alcoutim
Praia do Barill, Tavira
Praia do Duarte and Pria do Balbina, Albufeira

Meanwhile in Dorset, Chesil beach remains stormy and rarely swimmable and the official water temp in mid July is an embarrassing 11.8 degrees... Thats the normal December temp..
