From up here, the entire Algarve coastline auditions for a postcard: a suspiciously perfect shoreline, the Palmares golf course, the Alvor estuary twisting like it's trying to escape a geography exam, Alvor, Portimão, the Arade river, Ferragudo, Carvoeiro, the bay of Armação de Pêra, and and Albufeira somewhere out there in the haze. The Atlantic Ocean fills the rest of the frame, its deep blue fading into the sky with no visible horizon.
