   Quinta da Bolota October 30th 2024. Nature is taking over this abandoned site. Bamboo and other grasses, bushes and small trees are in abundance. I wonder how many millions were wasted. Quinta da Bolota is across from the Eden Resort.

Someone didn't do their geology homework correctly. Subsidence is very evident across the site.

The view across the valley.

Odd to find dozens of pairs of ladies' boots chucked away.

These stone ramparts are a feature of the site.

	Everywhere you look near the Marina, there is another €1million house being built. But I bet the petrol station opposite this one isn't mentioned! Nearby is the old Quinta da Orada. Seemingly empty, someone must be sitting on a fortune. There is a modern remote entry system with camera. Has anyone ever seen movement there?

	Someone is having a mansion built right next to the water tower in Páteo. Not sure I would want to live there, but at least there shouldn't be a problem getting a mobile phone signal!

	You can hardly go anywhere in and around Albufeira without seeing cranes and building sites. Some are good works, such as the old people’s home and day care centre out at Fontainhas, but the vast majority are more and more apartments for tourist rentals. Nothing is being built here that those who serve the tourists can afford to buy or rent. I don’t know what this recently cleared site will be used for, there are no signs or notices, but I suspect a resort development. In the middle of nowhere of course. Visitors won’t walk the 200 metres to the nearest bus stop, meaning a constant stream of traffic in and out. Two large schools are in the same road. The site measures about 215 metres by 135, that’s about 29,000 square metres, or just over 7 acres. There are some associated road works, pointing to the upgrade of the track Caminho dos Brejos that leads towards the back of the Camping Albufeira site.
