I have two preferred locations. One of them is Portugal. —Cliff Richard
Falesia Beach in the Algarve area of Portugal on the southern coast is considered one of the best beaches in the world. Though I will not argue the accolades for this beautiful beach, I never really know how the powers that be come to that moniker. Is it location? Is it sunsets? Is it lack of crowds? Is it an exotic ambiance? Or…..is it the cliffs? Praia da Falesia has all of these.
Except for warm water, however it was early in the season, first week of May. This was the only drawback we experienced on this magnificent beach. Of course, the kids didn’t mind.
The grandchildren loved the large beach.
The high cliffs give this beach a hint of privacy.
The clay cliffs look like they could crumble from the attack of six small children with plastic shovels and buckets. But that is the allure of the cliffs, delicate but rugged.
I loved the shadow here. Since I am writing this on Christmas Day, it think it resembles Mary riding to Bethlehem.
The pink spiny thrift was in bloom.
There are beautiful sunsets.
