Earthquake off Sagres - Felt in Quinta da Sapeira

Last night we both woke up, not knowing why, about 01.40 hours. It sounded like the roof tiles were shifting. Jon thought he felt the house give a single shake. We both decided that it was probably an earth tremor and went back to sleep. Apparently there was an earthquake off the coast of Sagres (where we were visiting last week - maybe we should both concentrate on the diet a bit more!)Perhaps it was us that awoke the sleeping dragon!

This link (from the Expats Portugal forum) gives more info.
