The building boom goes on

Andrew wrote: Chapel da Orada? Is that the same as the church Our Lady of Orada? If so that was there many, many years before the marina. I have photos down the valley of Orada, from top of windmill hill, where you can see it and the big square white building at other end that is still there.

Windmill Hill was certainly a good vantage point and yes you are correct, I see it now but confused it with the other white buildings that were nearby. It's been so long since I was on the forum either the method of embedding images has changed or I have completely forgotten, I will work it out when I have more time.

Vale Navio Tuesday 19th November. Cannot see what's behind the fences but plenty of trucks going in and out, machinery moving around. The road through the site is more or less finished and open, on foot at least, but I saw no cars moving.

The first thing seen is that the track Caminho do Albufeira that goes past the riding school is blocked at both ends. The orange grove yielded about 5 kg of fruit with no effort and a good crop looks to be on the way.

The old tennis stadium is not being touched it seems.

Lotd of ground work, cables and drains being laid.

Dream on. Cerro D'Aguia highly des. res...

Not a lot to report from Vale Navio. A couple of roads have been laid, but no buildings are yet appearing. Cables, pipes, wires and ducts are sprouting all over the place. I saw five or six blokes busy doing not a lot. Small mountains of rubble can be seen. Down at the back of the site, past the Albufeira Riding Centre, nothing has changed. Various mysterious buildings lurk in the woods, probably relics of some scheme since foundered.
