In the year since we left our flat in Highgate, Monte Pego has been our home. Despite the journeys around Spain, South America and Cameroon we've spent a lot of time here and seen it in all four seasons. Last August the thermometer hit 43 degrees Celsius and in January we woke up to go on a walk at just above zero. But whatever the temperature the sun shines most of the time and that, more than anything, is what makes it a lovely place to be. Its tranquility and proximity to sandy beaches, mountains and the Marjal wetlands also helps.
Our many visitors from the UK - 26 different people have stayed here over the last year - have helped make it feel more like home. Moreover we have got to know many people here, in particular during regular trips to La Cova bar. We shall miss them all, especially Alan and Keira, our nearest neighbours. But we will be back soon.
