The back lawn at Memmo Baleeira Hotel.

After filling up we wandered out back to the white Adirondack chairs on the hotel's expansive lawn. It was a clear, sunny day and both the sky and water were gorgeous shades of blue. It was the start of taking in many views from the cliff-laden shore town, Sagres.
