What to do? Go for a nearby track for walking or biking, one of the many famous golf courses, a medieval castle, a drive along the scenic Guadiana riverbanks, a boat tour to see the fascinating wildlife of the Ria Formosa bird sanctuary or the old town of Tavira where country cooking or more sophisticated recipes are served at very palatable prices.
You are just 7 km north of Fuzeta and from this fishermen village a launch will take you across the lagoon to the lovely Armona island for a long walk on its endless beach.
At 2 km, Angela's small yet well stocked mini-market has fresh bread in the morning and most of the daily necessities on the shelves. Ask her to arrange a home made ice cream cake or a free range cockerel for the pot. On Sundays enjoy the have-it-all gypsy market: from socks to donkeys, from cheese to fruit trees, from BBQ lunch to riding boots.
See Monte Serra on Google Earth 37º7 26''N and 7º44'45''W. The pool’s half-moon shape is a marker you will not miss.
