Peaceful Little Alcacer do Sal

If you ever want to visit a quiet little place in Portugal then Alcacer is the one for you. I have a feeling we just missed a celebration of some kind  because there were streamers all over the place. There were a few people wandering along the river bank or just sitting in the cafes but we did notice the quietness after Faro. Maybe Faro is big brother to this little township, much less commercial anyway.
We were only there for the night and spend most of the afternoon catching up on our sleep, from the previous night. There is a church right by our hotel which worried me a bit (the bells) but I slept through the night without waking. I love double glazing!
After a quick breakfast, checking out and a walk around the castle on the hill we headed of to Troia to catch the ferry across to Setubal. Initially we planned to drive right around but took the ferry instead.

Our hotel is the building I chopped off on the right, with the archway.

Scary stuff driving into Lisbon. The bridge was the easy part....
