The sight of Barril beach bar always lifts my spirits
It’s often the midpoint of one of my walks, or a place to linger when it’s too warm on the beach. Come, stroll with me around a few more Algarve windows. Just click on a photo and off we go.
There are plenty of places to linger in the Algarve
Nobody seems to mind here that the roof has fallen in!
These windows look like they’ve been around a long while too
I expect these are better on the inside!
Just as it should be!
Every window should have its own painting, don’t you think?
Or a chimney, like this
And there’s always a church!
The prettiest of street houses (from a strange angle because the owner was washing up at the sink!)
The perfect balcony to end the day
And as the light fades, the windows sparkle!
Thank you for indulging me again. There’s nothing I like better than a stroll in my Algarve streets. I know that Dawn’s windows will be completely different, and it’s time to take a look.

Well, I’ve got the glass of wine to hand, Dianne. 🙂 Sadly that little balcony isn’t mine, but there are two seats. Maybe if we ask nicely?

Being memory-challenged, I love being able to comment on the photos in the slide show one by one. Otherwise I have to make notes! I like the sense of your windows all being in use somehow. They imply lives as a good still life does.
