one of the most beautiful places on earth

19 December 2012

we had to make a run for it in between waves to get through the cavern (pictured above) and to the other beach
i fell in love with this house
While I think that the beach is certainly a beautiful place, I've never really considered myself a beach person. Well, I'll make an exception every time for Lagoa, Portugal. I've truly never seen beaches so majestic and stunning. And the sound that the ocean made as it crashed into those giant cliffs was just so powerful. 

It rained for most of our time here and unfortunately, as a result, we weren't able to make it to the hidden beach that we traveled to that little beach town for. But really, it just didn't even matter. We drove our Smart car (yes, we rented a Smart car and it was awesome) along the coast and even found a hiking trail that offered some of the most incredible views I've ever seen. 

Yes, Lagoa is one of the most beautiful places that I've ever visited. I hope that we'll go back one day for more freshly caught seafood and maybe that hidden beach.

P.S. I know that I'm still sharing about that trip that we returned home from almost two months ago. I'm just going through pictures as I feel inspired, so it's taking just a little longer. I enjoy it far more this way.. hope that you don't mind. :)
