Disclaimer
If you have a problem walking around in
places with plenty of garbage and waste, presenting a decadent
aspect, don't try this cache. If you do try this cache, you do it
at your own risk. I created this one because I do find some
interest in the place, dispite all that. You were warned. Now, in
order to submit a valid log you cannot complain about any of these
aspects (garbage, ugliness and so on).
Unfortunately there isn't
such thing as a commercial harbour in Algarve. Some cruisers may
peer in Portimão under limited conditions. Faro, as capital-town of
the region doesn't have any kind of maritime facilities: no place
for cargo ships or cruisers. Well, but there is a place which may
be euphemisticaly called "commercial harbour", although it's not
more that a mere tiny peer. Still, it's very pictoresque. I mean,
it offers a variety of subjects to those who like photography. At
least in my opinion.
In his way to this place
the geocacher will have the chance to observe interesting aspects.
Driving from downtown Faro to this place, one will pass near saltz
extraction platforms, usually crowded with a variety of birds.
Another cool element is the small ship partially sunk, on the right
side as you drive to the given coordinates.
The
Cache
The container it's a black
35 mm film canister. As you extract the container, please be
careful with the presence of fishermen in the area. Try to be
stealth and to fix the container properly when you return
it.
