Wander down to our small opposite-the-cemetery supermarket. All right, it has a name - Intermarche. It’s on Rua Sir Cliff Richard, which is mildly intriguing. Turns out the singer has an estate as well as a vineyard near Albufeira. In fact, had we been here six months earlier we could have paid £22 each for the privilege of joining Sir Cliff for a singsong, with a bottle of his wine thrown in. We do buy a bottle of local Alentejo region wine and a few other groceries. (Educational note: J in Portuguese is pronounced pretty much as it is in French. Which, actually, I knew, due to Jose Mourinho, Manchester United manager, not being Ho-zay). Lovely sunny day, so we stop at the Arte Bar next to the supermarket for a beer. Sun on our backs, sea on our right, perfect.
