A Different Albufeira
We recently bought a new camper—a Bavaria, in the pleasantly compact 5.4-metre size—which we christened Rocinante, inspired by John Steinbeck's Travels with Charley. I had just read the book for the second time, this time in Portuguese, and once again couldn't put it down. The book tells the story of the Nobel Prize-winning author's road trip across the United States in 1960, travelling with his dog Charley in a campervan. Along the way, Steinbeck reflects on the rapid social
