Life Back in Ferragudo

Portarade and Beira Mar in Ferragudo Village Square

After a weeks of lockdown and gradual easing of restrictions, it was great news that the weekend lockdown was lifted in Lagoa last weekend. Coinciding with Mother’s day in Portugal, the square was suddenly lively with a great buzz! All the restaurants are maintaining social distancing and sanitising, so even with lots more people it still seems safe. After seeing the UK weather forecast for the last few days, we certainly appreciated sitting outside in our shorts and t-shirts, enjoying food and drink at our favourite restaurants and bars. It was great also to see live music back at Club Nau! And if you have been missing live music – try V5 bar this coming Saturday, just off the square on Rua 25 de Abril.

Walking along the river away from the square, good to see Borda do Cais and Sueuste restaurants also open with lots of outside space. A few minutes drive away, or a leisurely 4k stroll, Quinta dos Santos has also just re-opened. Lovely to sit and enjoy the views over the vines whilst sampling the sharing dishes washed down with a fabulous selection of home brewed beers and Quinta dos Santos own wines.

Life is definitely back in Ferragudo – enjoy!
