FIGUEIRA. Our complex is on the edge of this small ancient village of narrow cobbled streets and brightly coloured houses. There is a small shop where basic groceries can be bought and a restaurant where you can eat well and inexpensively within 5 minutes' walk.
A footpath down a green valley leads to Figueira beach a mile away, where the only building is a ruined fort on the cliff top. Inaccessible by car, it is never crowded. 2 miles away by road is the fishing village of SALEMA with its beach, excellent restaurants and a bigger supermarket. Nearby the village of BUDENS has another supermarket. Vila do Bispo(5k.) has many restaurants a monthly market and good basic shops
