Day 3 - Exploring around Vila Real de Santo António

I started my third day with a productive morning, getting some work done until lunchtime.

After lunch, I drove to Praia de Santo António for a relaxing walk along the beach, followed by a hike in the surrounding woods. The area was peaceful and offered a great mix of coastal and forest scenery.

Later in the afternoon, I drove to Caminho dos Quatro Pauzinhos e do Abacate and walked to Farolim de Vila Real de Santo António, a charming lighthouse. Along the way, I discovered O Recife dos Gatos Piratas—a unique spot where a group of friendly "pirate" cats resides.

It was a day full of nature, exploration, and a touch of unexpected whimsy!
