This is the view from the museum in Foz Coa where we are spending a week in a landscape so breathtakingly beautiful that I keep wiping tears from my eyes. I have been reading about this area for a year. Tomorrow we will visit the Paleolithic engravings at Penascosa and this afternoon we’ll drive to Mazouca to see the single horse engraving. And oh the wines! They taste of where we are — the air, the schist, the olive trees shimmering in the light. When John went out for bread this morning, a golden dog was sleeping on the cobbles and old men talked at a table over early glasses of Port with their coffee. Wish you were here. xxx

I wish we were there too! 🙂
It’s such a potent landscape, full of scent and colour (blues– a blue rock thrush, morning glories, the sky), kind people, schist walls…
