Vila do Bispo

Photographer's Note

Hi TE friends
It was the first time I visited this part of the south west coast of Portugal.
I found great places, some accessible only by foot or by bicycle, places where the landscape is still in the wild
I didn’t was in the beach but I found a picture of the restaurant area and put in the WS
Have a nice Sunday !
Cordoama Beach has an extensive sandy area surrounded by high cliffs. Very calm and relaxed beach, there is also a pleasant stream flowing into the ocean.
This is a perfect beach for the practice of sea sports, such as surf and body board.

How to get here
In Vila do Bispo follow straight ahead the road that passes in front of the Mercado Municipal.
Access by tarmac road from Vila do Bispo after crossroads indicating Praia do Castelejo. The track to the beach has not been surfaced with tarmac for about 2 km of the way.
North-westerly facing.

Facilities
Blue Flag Beach; Restaurant, Lifeguard in part of the beach during summer time

Bonjour Aires
Une superbe vue plongeante sur cette côte découpée, cette longue plage de sable fin et le mouvement des vagues qui viennent mourir sur le rivage.
Merci pour le partage et bon dimanche.

Dear Aires,
what a beautiful place! I am really so surprised that you did not visit Algarve before. But I guess for you it is LAST BUT NOT LEAST region of Portugal. Amazing colors I like especially the green but also various shades of sand. Very impressive POV.
Excellent view!

Saudacões cordiais,

Hello Aires, did you replace your camera with D90? I liked the vertical format which increases the depth of field along the wild coast which is protected by the huge cliffs. Congratulations, Tolga

Bom dia Aires,
honestamente não sou grande fã do Algarve, muito porque acho que está completamente descaracterizado pelo turismo de massas que ali se pratica, mas esta vista já me faz pensar de forma diferente, pois nela pode apreciar-se a natureza no seu estado mais puro, com esta longa linha de costa que se estende pela imagem.

Vejo que tens um novo "brinquedo", então que tal? em dezembro estive tentado a comprar esta máquina , mas entretanto optei pela 50D da Canon, mas fiquei sempre com esta pela ideia.

Paulo

Beautiful light and wonderful contrasts.

Hi Aires,

Splendid wild beaches. Fantastic white sands, beautiful cliffs although without such interesting rock formations like in Algarve. It looks rather windy, but the walk on the cliffs with the view of the Ocean must be wonderful. And you were for the first time there ?!!

Warm reagrds

A really splendid coastal view,
the perspective is superb and so are the colours of sea, sand and greenery. I love the breakers in the sea and the sight of the long and high cliffs in the distance. Very much in my taste.
TFS,
Donato

Hola Aires.

Hubiera quizás recortado algo el cielo pero bien, bien, un bonito punto de vista y profundidad.

Un saludo!

Hello Aires,
great shot coastal cliffs and distant prospect.
Very nice color of blue water and green plants on a cliff.
I like in this picture a balance between sky, water and land.
Thanks for your critique of my photo.

romanaa (6835) 2010-03-22 13:26

Hello Aires,

looking at this wonderful picture I am thinking that it is not fair that some people can enjoy the beauty of the ocean whenever they want to :-).

Great composition of this stunning landscape, brilliant colours and sharpness.

Best regards
Romana

delpeoples (34853) 2010-03-22 19:49

Ola Aires, this is such a beautiful stretch of coastline, uninhabited, clean and quite wild. I like the use of the vertical frame, the colours are natural and strong and you have achieved an excellent Depth of Field. Congratulations and thanks for sharing this beautiful photo, Lisa
