Our last full day in Portugal and we drove for miles (or rather kilometres). Although it was cloudy at times, the temperature was still a scorching +35 degrees so the air conditioning in the car was so good.
These decorations were in the process of being taken down by the local Bombeiros (fire service) which each town has, normally made up of volunteers. Nearly every village and town has a fiesta at some time during the year and Vila Flor had just celebrated a fiesta a couple of days ago. These decorations are made out of blue and white paper bunting and covered the town hanging on buildings, trees and lamp posts.
