The southern coastline of Portugal is one of the most spectacular sights in the world. The clay cliffs with jagged edges made getting to the beach from our hotel quite a workout. Cocktails and other refreshemnts are served beachside. Cindy Lou

MyMidlife Travel Tip:  Don’t drink too many cocktails in the afternoon sun.  After a few “bumps” and a few hours of sun taking the stairs back up to the hotel is a challenge.
