out for the more energetic.
Walking and Birdwatching.
Birdwatchers can find details information at www.casarosa.net
This unspoilt area of the Eastern Algarve is dominated by conservation areas and is an ideal location to enjoy the pleasures of walking in the countryside, there are many peaceful walks right on our doorstep. The beautiful Nature Reserve of Ria Formosa is only 10 mins drive away. Ideal for walkers and Bird watchers alike.
The park is an important refuge for endangered breeding Kentish Plover and Little Terns. Mainly between September and April there are often as many as a thousand Greater Flamingos in the park. The rare Purple Gallinule, a giant blue purple chicken equipped with long pink legs and a large red bill, never fails to facinate all who see it. All in all over 200 bird species regularly use the Ria Formosa throughout the year, many of which can also be seen at Casa Rosa in our large garden. Hoopoes nest on one of our terraces and Azure-winged Magpies abound.
Our Local beach of Fuzeta is un-crowded and a short ferry boat ride (5 mins) takes you to a beach island with wonderfully quiet beaches, a short walk along the beach, away from the ferry boat landing jetty and you will be totally alone.
Our area is mostly untouched by tourism yet it's close enough to get to any of the main resorts should you wish.
There are a number of excellent markets close to Casa Rosa:-
Every Sunday there is a Very large open street market locally and the first Sunday of the month it is in our local village just a short walk away.
Every second Sunday of the month there is a very interesting horse market at Estoi just a 10 minute drive from Casa Rosa.
Every fourth Sunday of the month there is a not to be missed big car-boot sale at the fishing boat harbour in Olhao. Bargains galore we bought our donkey cart there!
Ayamonte, (the Spanish border) town has a
similar market every Saturday.
This market town is 35 mins away by car.
