My time lounging in the vineyard hills of Gradil, Portugal, has come to an end. For the rest of my time in Portugal, which totals 6 more nights, I’ll be city-bound – first in the capital Lisbon, then Porto. En route to Lisbon today I stopped off to pay a visit to the quaint seaside resort & fishing village of Ericeira, about 35 kilometres north west of the capital & where I engaged in a spot of people watching from upon high.
