Esta cache convida-o a conhecer a baixa de Alvor e um recanto pouco conhecido e bastante agradável da Ria.

This cache invites you to know the Alvor downtown and a unknown and very pleasant part of the "ria".


A ria num dia chuvoso / The "Ria" in a rainy day

O percurso até á cache terá que ser feito a pé ou de bicicleta (BTT preferencialmente). Sugerimos que deixe o seu carro perto do ponto N 37º07.784' W008º35.788'.

Dai até á cache terá que passar pela zona dos restarantes. Irá passar a antiga "lota", onde poderá eventualmente ver alguns velhos pescadores a remendar as redes, amanhar o peixe ou outra qualquer actividade relacionada.
Irá passar pelo antigo Salva Vidas de Alvor (é no portão vermelho). Se estiver aberto não deixe de visitar, mas, poderá sempre dar uma espreitadela pelo portão. Se quiser visitar o centro da vila basta subir uma destas ruas. A rua ao lado do Salva vidas leva-lá á Igreja Matriz.
A partir do Salva Vidas é só seguir o que o GPS lhe diz.

O fim do dia é uma optima altura para tentar esta cache.  Depois de encontrar a cache poderá continuar o passeio se assim o desejar.

You must walk to the cache so we sugest that you leave your car somewhere near this point: N 37º07.784' W008º35.788'.

From there to the cache you´ll have to pass the restaurant area. You will pass the old fish market where (if you are lucky) you can see the old fisherman cleaning the fish, fixing his nets or any other related task.
You will pass the ancient life saving boat (inside the red gate). Take a look if the gates are open or, if they are closed, just look trough the gates. If you wish to visit the village center just go up one of this streets. The stree at the side of the Life Saving Boat house will lead you to the main Church.
From the Life Boat, just follow the GPS.

Sunset is a good time to try this cache. After finding the cache you can continue your walk if you like.

A cache é um pequeno tupperware com 15x7x5 cms e 0.5 lts de capacidade com os items habituais: Logbook, stashnote, lapis, afia e items de troca. Pode albergar Geocoins e Pequenos Travel Bugs.
The Cache is a small tuperware with 15x7x5 cms and 0.5 lts capacity with the usual items: Logbook, stashnote, pencil, sharpenner and trade items. It can hold Geocoins and small Travel Bugs.

Algumas notas: O local é acessivel a crianças mas, convem ter algum cuidado pois há uma falésia perto. A cache está num local seguro. O acesso a carrinhos de bebé não é possível até ao local da cache, mas pode levar o carrinho até muito perto (+/-50mts).
Quando tiverem que subir tomem o caminho da direita. 
Some notes: The place is acessible fotr small children, but, you must take some precautions because there´s a cliff nearby. The cache is in a safe place. It´s not acessible for strollers or wheelchairs, but, they can get near (+/-50mts)
When you have that to go up, take the path.on your right.

Todos os logs tem que estar em Português ou Inglês e ter pelo menos uma breve descrição da busca. Caso contrário posso ser tentado a apaga-los
All logs must be in Portuguese or English and have, at least, a brief description of your hunt. Otherwise i might be tempted to delete them.

Como não foi possível o tenizinho, decidimos ir à procura do cantinho encantado e lá o encontramos. Sem dúvida a vista é fantástica, e melhor com o sol quase a pôr-se. Além disso, foi rentável pois encontramos mais um TB para a nossa colecção.

I can write the same that i have written for the cache in the Parque da Juventude. We have seen many nice places in the area of the Algarve but with the position of the geocaches we find a lot of new views and nice places we didn´t see before.Thanks for this.

With iPod Lady. Really nice spot. The sun was on it's way down but unfortunately we couldn't wait to see it set as we had no lights on our bikes. TFTC

Found after a wonderful sardine lunch in Alvor. Great views a German couple were also enjoying the dunes, I think they wondered what the mad English couple were doing up there with bikes anfd GPS! All seemed to be intact after earthquake of the night before.
