A relatively straightforward multi-cache with an interesting route and great scenery.
Uma cache relativamente fácil numa rota interessante e paisagística.

 

This was our first cache, but unfortunately was stolen in July (see log). I decided to make it less easily viewable from above, and turn it into a simple 'multi' so that the first part was not attractive to 'muggles'. We wanted to display the paths to this area, which are most commonly followed by local fishermen and dog walkers. The area is best reached by foot from the car park at Ponte de Piedade (N 37º 04,886' W 008º40,177') and the appropriate path can be found after about 15-20 minutes walk.
At low tide, an approach can be made along the beach from Porto do Mòs towards Ponte de Piedade.
Not recommended for those who don't like heights or have a poor sense of balance although relatively easy for a confident walker.! At the first cache you will find ten digits in the form 'AB.CDE' and 'VW.XYZ' These are the decimal minutes of the next cache, ie N 37º AB.CDE and W008º VW.XYZ. The second cache is similar and leads to the real cache.

"Esta foi a nossa primeira cache, mas infelizmente foi roubado em Julho (ver o log). Decidi faz-la menos visível da cima, e mudei a ser uma simples “multi” cuja a primeira parte seja menos atractiva aos “muggles”. Nós tencionamos mostrar os trilhos desta área, principalmente usados pelos pescadores e pessoas a passear cães. A melhor maneira a chegar esta área é caminhar a partir do parque de estacionamento na Ponte de Piedade (N37º04.886' W008º40.177') e o caminho certo encontra-se depois de cerca de 15-20 minutos a andar. Na maré baixa, pode-se alcançar a cache a partir da Praia do Porto do Mós em direcção à Ponte de Piedade. Não é recomendável a quem que tem vertigens ou falta da equilíbrio, apesar de ser relativamente fácil para um caminheiro com confiança." Na primeira cache encontrará dez dígitos na forma de “AB.CDE” e “VW.XYZ”. Estes são minutos decimais da cache seguinte, i.e. N37º AB.CDE e W008ºVW.XYZ. A segunda Cache é semelhante e dirige à cache verdadeira."

We could't find!
After a big searching in the final GZ place, we just gave up.

Maybe, for a next opportunity!

This is a nice hike along the cliffs near Lagos. The first stage I would not recommend for children under 7. I needed a little help with the second stage because I found the original clue for the last coordinates. Thanks for the hike, Trumpeter

Visited after a report about final cache missing, and checked to find only log book hidden, and container had gone - again!!
Also checked cache 2 and found an anomaly which has been corrected.
Cache container is now a micro film container.
