Mike and I found a brill deal to the Algarve, we had a self-catering apartment in the sleepy fishing village of Alvor. I have been interested in Portuguese tiling and was looking forward to taking lots of photos...here's a look at my finds of the week!
A view from our back balcony, looking out on to the complex |
The resort we walked through on the way to the beach...I love the colours of the flowers, especially against the white washed buildings. That turquoise is just delicious too!! |
A very pretty pairing |
need to take the exposure down on this a bit but that's a lot of pretty patterns!!! |

...it's just gorgeous! |
Tiling, tiling... |
....EVERYWHERE! |
A beautiful roadside palm tree |
The light in our apartment - clever design! |
Beautiful facade |
