Monday 19 September
Another hot day.
Hotel, Torre do Rio, is incredibly rated. 5 on trip advisor, 9.8 on booking. It is a rural hotel with 12 rooms, enormous grounds, thick stone walls, dozens of places to relax, minimal but sufficient amenities.

Caldes is a thermal springs/spa place, hence the two day stay. Hope to try it tomorrow.
To date the morning breakfast has been a delight for us fresh fruit lovers. Melon Blanco, oranges, pineapples, watermelon etc. All fresh and cut up in large bite sized pieces. Perfect.
The landscape yesterday and today, now that we are inland is more agricultural, lots of grapes for wine and lots of feed corn. Not much livestock. Not much forest diversity; QB believes the first is in serious trouble.
