If you want a quiet holiday with sunshine, you can’t go wrong with Isla Canela in Spain but only 9 kms from the Algarve.
Until
a suspension bridge was built between, Portugal and Spain over the river
Guadiana when Portugal hosted the UEFA Cup in 1992, this part of Costa de la
Luz was quite secluded and is even now, compared to other resorts. This
means that we have easy access to Monte Gordo, Tavira and Olhao in the Eastern
Algarve as well as the Spanish resorts. There is a 1 hour time difference
between the two countries.
We
have stayed here many times, usually in a luxury apartment on the golf complex
which gives a tranquil, green setting. Last year, with the grandchildren, we
took an apartment virtually on the beach with fantastic sea views.
So
that’s it; the beach, the harbour, the golf course.

ReplyDeleteLinda,
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful portrait of a little-known resort. Beautiful and charming. Thank you for taking me 'round the world to paradise from California. I also dearly appreciate your kind remark on my "Jest" post today. So nice to meet you.
