The kind of pretty touristy picture that gets in the guidebooks. Reality check is few yards further down the hill! ------------- Albufeira Resident www.algarvebus.info public transport information for the Algarve |

What happens down the hill?

No Claire, that's the other side of the square. This comes out at the top of "Bar Street" by what was JoJo's bar. ------------- Regular Visitor |

| Ah that comes out beside the Italian, now I know it. The shell bar is at the start of Rua Bateria, starts beside Ricardos. Don't know any thing on the other side of the square?? |

Indeed Claire it does take you past the wee Bar covered in shells. If you walk down the rua Dom Alfonso 111 you can turn right which takes you up over the headland and down passed the Hotel Sol e Mar but if you turn left you will see the bar covered in shells right in front of you and the pathway brings you out, as you rightly say, beside the Italian. ------------- we're not brazil we're norn iron |
