PT RR - Surprise Group * February

It's official, I don't have any new postcards to show. It's almost two weeks without postcards in my mailbox, I do not know how it's possible but it's happening and I'm hating it. Maybe tomorrow?! I hope...

 Last month's surprise postcards were sent by Tiago, Inês Brito and Ana. Lina also sent a postcard, the same  Leninha sent from the meeting with Luzia last year.

The beach of Praia do Monte Clérigo is set towards the north-western corner of the Algarve, which makes it a very different place to the well known spots on the south coast. The Algarve's west coast has a fairly wild feel about it characterised by wide sandy beaches facing into the full force of the Atlantic Ocean. Set in the Vicentine Coast Natural Park, an area of outstanding natural beauty, this beach has been well protected from the slightest hint of over-development. - in: https://www.travel-in-portugal.com/beaches/praia-de-monte-clerigo.htm

With more than a thousand years of existence, Silves Castle is one of the most remarkable works of military architecture that the Arabs left in Portugal. 

The Benedictine abbey of Jumièges, in the Seine-Maritime department in Normandy, was founded in 654 by St. Philibert. The ruins of this Romanesque abbey are among the most beautiful ruins in all of France.
Built during the life of William the Conqueror, it was partially destroyed after the French Revolution, when much of the church and adjacent buildings were used as a quarry. Only the western façade with twin towers, the nave, and small parts of the transept, lantern tower and choir have survived.
