Trek of the day. Uphill, as is everything in Albufeira, to Lidl, our happy discovery of seven years ago. And yes, uphill both ways - though with some sections of down as well of course. A walk made somewhat longer by the route we took and a bit of temporary confusion (as in why is the ocean on our left when Lidl is northeast of us - if we keep on walking in this direction we’ll eventually hit the west coast). Embarrassingly, the map later shows the proper route as being slightly under a mile (though taking no account whatsoever of the hills) but what we actually did was significantly longer. Worth the climb for the German seeded rye bread and a lovely German mustard, but not everything better or cheaper. Ditto at Aldi, across the road and smaller, less well stocked. Think we’ll stick mostly to the Portuguese supermarkets nearer home.
