In love with PORTUGAL: ALJEZUR (off the beaten track in the Algarve) 

The best place tp get lost. Discover portugal by discovering yourself. Such a beautifull.place to get lost!!

I first went to Aljezur in 2009 and went right up to 2016 and this is where l first fell in love with Portugal. I love this place.

Love arrifana!! Go go go!!!!! A melhor praia para mim!! Adoro!!! Amazing restaurant in the end of the stiff road until beach, expensive for natives but really really good!! Must try cindy cam'on!! A road may seem challeging but you can ask a ride down and up, no shame. Everybody do it!!

Btw quick insight about my experience with aljezur and costa vicentina (area.we call.the coastal from lisbon/setubal until algarve.). as you, lever liked the touristic spots, so every year I.would go, from my 20s until my 28s years, to the.local surf shop and get the.year car sticker. I ve added at my fuel mini door and it.rock!🤟 then, every year i would add a new sticker for that summer.year.in aljezur. Actually years later, it seems the fashion of this little ode to.aljezur stook. Amongst the youngers and surfers you ll see them all.around their cars. 😁🇵🇹❤

The reason for all the abandoned buildings is because many of the developers did not have planning permission to build in the National park.

My auntie lives in Lagoa and works in apart hotels , she said this year is very empty , very few foreigners . Aljezur area Its beautiful , dont remember if i ever been there . Thanks for sharing your adventures .Take care of your avocados , lol .

Superb 🔥

I love Portimão and the surrounding areas although the water in that area is colder than the in Tavira and Vila Real de Santo António. Had I enough money would buy a property in Monchique mountain and every time I felt like going to the beach its just 15-20 minute drive made easier since they reworked the road downhill.

Olá Cindy. I’ve been looking forward to this one! I’ve driven through Aljezur a few times but didn’t stop and I’ve wanted to. Thank you for sharing your exploration of the area! I am like you, I don’t mind seeing some of the touristy areas but prefer the wild, raw natural beaches and cliffs and local people. Can you possibly share a link to the rental? I’d love to see where you were and put it on my list... it looks like my type of rental! Obrigada ~ Take care!!

These are stables I lived across the way from there.

Hello there , when I visited Portugal just a few weeks ago , what I saw there is the feeling of Apocalypse, As if people there have abandoned their lands and homes , put them for sale , and God knows where they plan to go after selling their properties , there are so many Ruines of houses left there in the fields mostly for sale , I think Portuguese due to a low income and poverty stricken country are leaving their country and immigrating to other North American or else countries , they have a low average salary there . I like the natural scenery of Portugal of course , not being the best in Europe but it is so quiet and empty of souls .

Thanks so much for the video Cindy: you did a great job. Could you recommend the best resort in this area which has a bank, a good supermarket and outdoor cafe without the hordes and concrete of Albufeira, which I'm trying to avoid?

lovely

thanks for showing the lovely sw algarve, l wish it wasn't so pricey to buy there!

Are you South African ?

Cindy, as i mentioned,I watch several other vids re Portugal farms. One of the other channels is The Indie Projects who are converting a barn to live in (not far from you i think). Now, after watching your vids and others, it seems that you cannot convert an agricutural building to habitation, but they seem to be doing it - i have questioned them twice now re this, but they dont answer. What do you think?
