Albufeira to Spain - Day 26

Left Albufeira in a black Mercedes transfer with a suited chauffeur, 'living it up'! No, it was the cheapest and easiest option to get from Portugal to Spain.

We arrived into Servilla just before lunch to another well located hotel. We were located in the middle of squares, restaurants, shops and near The Cathedral.

   Doesn't look the best location but hot hot day and it's midday and people are in airconed shops or in bars and restaurants. The Cathedral is just at the end of this street a short walk.

    Plaza Del Salvador is just around the corner.

Room 202 in Hotel Las Casas de Los Mercaderes. So far except for one room, which was the apartment in Albufeira, we have been in palindromic numbered rooms, 505, 313 and 202. 

We have been very impressed with Iber Tours and the rooms that they have secured for us so far.

First real tapas of the trip at an unbelieveabily busy bar, restaurant in the square literally right next door. It's Thursday at midday and this place has the feel of Sydney city on a Friday afternoon. 

We had read about shops, restaurants etc closing for a few hours in the middle of the day and we started to see just that happen around us. A lot close from about 2pm till 5.30/6 and restaurants really don't start getting people in them till after 9pm.

Hot here today about 37. So we decided 'when in Rome' to have a siesta as well.

Doing an electric bike tour tomorrow so about 5 decided to be touristy with our trusty map and find the location. We could get ourselves into the modern day by following the instructions on my phone but that has had us lost before in other places as lots of areas are like rabbit warrens and modern day technology has trouble keeping up.

Had dinner about 8 and hardly anyone around.
