My trip to the Algarve in Portugal
My journey begins with good preparation, that is packing!
I started with an Idea, I'll visit my aunt and cousins Who are in the Algarve, picked
up the phone, I called my cousin to ask IF they had gone on vacation or stayed at
home.
To my surprise, no one wanted to make a vacation out of Portugal in August.
Before I thought for the Road, first to see the Best beaches on the internet where
it would stay, Portimão, Praia da Rocha!
You can see the image as beautiful as they call it the Rock beach...
Well, I saw the tickets for the bus, and at that time was € 35 and took a few hours
but it was not Just a good alternative to travel.

I remembered that the CP also has direct trains to the Algarve with a few stops on
the course and turn the trip is more economical.
I'll show you my choice, the CP Rail for 30 €.
Once made the choice, I began to prepare my suitcase, I took all that is essential
for a Summer trip and do not forget the swim trunks and sunscreen.
I went to the station in Almada Pragal to catch the 10am train, waited a bit at the
station because I like to arrive early to avoid missing anything in this case the trip.
9am I was there...
Actually the train makes few stops, Lisbon, Pragal, and Barreiro the nearest house
IF i wanted it back but my destination was even the Algarve. Since it is still a long
trip, I fell asleep on the benches along the way of CP approached me the ticket

collector and hit me on the shoulder and Said,
"Sorry, Good Day, can you show your ticket?".
Sleepy and I put my hand in pocket and pulled
out the ticket. The conductor saw him and
went away, my luck did not lose because IF
not, would pay a fine. After a while, went back to sleep and when I awoke, I was
at the station in the Algarve, and have not had the opportunity to see the
landscape, I told my cousin picked me a station, already late! It's Nice when we go
to one place and have acquaintances or relatives because they were paying for a
hotel, would cost a little, a hotel for two nights costs 50 €.
In family house, it is always better, did not pay for one quarter, but helped in the
home daily purchases. It was a full week off, we go out at night, see the bars,
shops and definitely the Rocha beach, this could not miss.
I already had the ticket round trip, everything
was easier to return, what was difficult was
even fired. Well, you can not have many
holidays we are spoiled.
My cousin took me back to the station where I
caught the train back to Pragal, the trip was quiet. Pragal coming to after a few
hours, take the subway and got off at the Fertagus orange trees with my bags and
looked like a tourist! All was back to normal...
