#algarve

I never mind doing the same walk over and over again, said our guide, Joana Almeida, crouching beside a cluster of flowers. Each time, there are new things these weren't here yesterday. Standing on stems at least two centimetres tall and starring the dirt with white petals, the fact these star of Bethlehem flowers sprung up overnight was a beautiful testament to how quickly things can grow and regenerate in this hilly, inland section of the Algarve, the national forest of Barao de Sao Joao.
