I'm looking forward to a time when I will not be spending any winters here in Blighty. Hopefully in the not too distant future, plans are afoot! |

Yeah, they put it up last thursday night, quite a surprise to see it there as me and Mrs Wal wandered down the zig-zags on friday morning.
Personally I don't think the boundary is big enough, looking at the large cracks and rock structure plus the rate it's erroding at (I'm no expert by the way) I would have thought they would have made the 'safety zone' somewhat larger. It might give people protection from smaller lumps of rock dropping off but that large slab on the western side is looking decidedly top heavy and very dodgy IMO; if that collapsed it would squash a few folk outside of the rope
![]() Anyway, twas another great week at good ole Albufeira, can't wait now until next year

I observe that the rock pinnacle on Albufeira's main beach has been fenced off with some proper posts etc. Undoubtedly in response to recent events, it now provides a very handy long clothes-line for the sunseekers.

Hi Roger,
Yes. Its a lovely spot. There is a path that leads around the side of the Aura Mar and it brings you directly to Praia do Forte Sao Joao. Its only a 2 or 3 mimute walk and about 25 steps down to the beach. I think that there is also direct access from the Aura Mar to Praia dos Aveiros. Probably more steps though I would think as the hotel is built right on the headland. Enjoy. |

Top of my to do list for next year is the walk from Praia da Oura along the headland, My parents have spent 2 weeks a year for the last 21 years in Praia da Oura & unfortunately due to arthritis my mum isn't able to take the walk any more, but she keeps on at me to do it, So mum if you read this.....i promise OK??

Hi RogerD,
The beach you see here ends at Praia do Forte Soa Joao, close to the Aura Mar Beach Club. ![]() There is a rocky section (headland) behind the Aura Mar and a small beach called 'Praia dos Aveiros'. Then another rocky section and the start of Praia Da Oura. See it on the interactive beach guide at this link - http://www.albufeira.com/beach/guide/default.asp The distance from the end of the beach in the photo to Praia Da Oura is only a few hundred meters as the crow flyes. You can walk over the headland - a bit dicy in places. By road it would be about a mile or so. |
