A letter received by suesvillas from one of our guests during the volcano's disruption to the UK Airports....
Hello Sue,
Me and my family would just like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you for all your help with accommodating us at our time of need allowing us to stay the extra week, especially at no extra cost this was very kind of you. I, like thousands of people, were very pleased to finally get back to the UK. We will be defiantly be booking with you again. Thank you very much.
Mrs M Thornson .... UK :-)
Armacao de Pera - The Town looks great, it has had a much needed face lift. It now bbenefits from a pedestrians walk way from the Garbe Hotel/ Raj Restaurant to the roundabout at the end near Fisherman's Beach.....

Things to do & places to Visit in Portugal.Visit Sir Cliff Richards Winery -
Adega do Cantor provides an unique
opportunity to visit the winery that produces Sir Cliff Richard's wine, Vida Nova. The winery is situated at Quinta do Miradouro in Guia, a few kilometres northwest of Albufeira. The easiest way to find the Quinta is to head towards Guia on the N125 and follow the signs for AlgarveShopping - the winery can be found 500m behind AlgarveShopping.
Take a coastal trip on the Santa Bernarda Pirate Ship 
The Santa Bernarda is a two masted sailing vessel which sails out of Portimão along the beautiful coastline west to Lagos and east to Armação de Pêra. Explore the best caves on the beautiful Algarvian coast. On the full day trip, in addition to visiting the caves around Benagil, you will enjoy a 3 course BBQ served at a beach which is accessible only by sea. there will be plenty of time for swimming, snorkelling or just relaxing - it will be an unforgettable day.
Visit Sand Fiesa at Pera…. so you think you can build a sand castle ?
The sand sculpture season lasts from May to October
every year, (8-10 Mins from Armacao de pera) Held just outside Pera, a small village near Guia and Albufeira in an area of 15,000 square metres, 30 of the worlds leading sand sculptors have recreated a Hollywood spectacular of gigantic proportions and it's all made of sand. Yes, just damp sand. Looking at the amazing structures that were created its hard to believe that no cement or "glue" is used.
The Simpsons sculpture, photo was taken this year 2009. No need to book in advance - the entry is very cheap....the childen will love it.
