Martha and I scheduled 5 weeks at our shared Provencal house in October & November and we decided to tack on couple of weeks in Portugal beforehand. Some friends had raved about walking Portugal’s Rota Vicenta a year earlier, so we decided to follow in their footsteps (literally).

I only took my pocket-sized Sony RX100 camera with me since it didn’t appear that I’d have much dedicated photography time, nor be able to go shooting during the early & late “magic light” hours. It turned out that that was definitely the case and I was very happy not to be carrying a pack filled with a heavy SLR camera and lenses while walking in deep sand.
