This cache is on the top of a prominent hill near the village of Faz Fato. To reach it you need to follow a rough track. It is about a 1km walk from the nearest tarmac road. There are fantastic views in all directions. You can see Spain, the bridge across the Guadiana and the rolling hills of the Algarve hinterland. Please look at the photo gallery.

Dia de praia na Manta Rota. A caminho passámos por aqui para logar esta cache.
Esta foi uma das caches mais agradáveis do dia. Belíssimo trajecto pela estrada serpenteante serra acima.
Poderia ter levado Land Rover, até ao VG, mas preferi fazer a ascenção final a pé, para melhor poder apreciar as vistas. TFTC.
