Another long drive today, this time northwards up the coast. The road along the coast is not straight, but goes dipping in and out towards the coast- or you can go more inland and drive the highway, which we ended up doing. The driving is very assertive here- but they are good drivers. They have to be.
The Pousada de Sao Filipe in Setubal is located high up on a cliff overlooking the Sado Estuary and the Troia peninsula and the Atlantic Ocean in the distance. Stunning views from pretty much everywhere- our room, the patio, and the restaurant. It is a former 17th century fortress and has lots of places to explore right on site.
We took a small drive along the coast after checking in and then decided to take the ferry over to the estuary, hoping to find out where we could see the dolphins and rare birds.
We took the ferry and drove a long way in both directions, but saw neither signs directing us to, nor the wildlife we were looking for. Saw more storks though. They are so huge!
