Algar Seco

The Algarve coastline is well known for its beauty and we are lucky to have some wonderful stretches very close to Ferragudo.

A visit to Algor Seco, just outside Carvoeiro is a must. Take a relaxing stroll along the boardwalk across the cliff top and take in the stunning rock formations and caves, carved out of the limestone bedrock. For the more adventurous you can descend the stone steps (a long flight) to the base.

At the base of the cliff you can enjoy a drink or meal at the Boneca bar, or stop off at the Algar Seco resort restaurant, overlooking the cliffs and ocean.

Are You Storking Me?!

Storks nesting a-plenty in Ferragudo! The many storks that live in and around the village are busy preparing their nests – we see them atop the old brick chimneys which are a feature of Ferragudo, but there are more storks than nests, so some nest builders get more creative, including pylons, telegraph poles and even road signs. Here are a couple I spotted walking through the village the other day, just a few minutes away from our sea-front holiday apartments.

Spring Is Here!

So, after a couple of cloudy/rainy weeks (nothing compared to UK!!) spring is definitely here in Ferragudo!

We are so lucky in Ferragudo. Even with lockdown, we have so many lovely cliff-top and country-side walks. And just look at the amazing blossom, wild flowers and greenery all around us – amazing!
