Day 4: Moving to Portimão

I started the day early, waking up before sunrise to drive to Monte Gordo Beach. Watching the sun rise over the ocean for the first time was absolutely worth it—a breathtaking moment to kick off the day.

After breakfast, I packed up my belongings as it was time to move from Monte Fino to an apartment in Portimão.

On the way, I stopped in Tavira for some sightseeing. I enjoyed exploring the charming city and even fed a stray cat in the parking lot before continuing my journey.

Once I arrived in Portimão and settled into my apartment, I visited Praia dos Três Castelos just before sunset. The stunning views and rugged cliffs made it a perfect way to wind down the day.

After dinner, I got some work done before calling it a night.

This is what 900 EUR gets you at Apartamentos Castelos da Rocha for a months stay - not bad
