I came here back in the year 2000, mainly for a tax break (I was tax exempt working outside of the UK). I had just started surfing and saw there was a small surf hostel based in Lagos. I came for two weeks and stayed six. In the course of searching surf spots we came quite often to the westcoast. One day driving to Arrifana and having driven up the steep hill from the Aljezur Lagos road I said to the surf instructor/driver “pull over mate, pull over please”. I stepped out and just breathed in the view. I filled my lungs up on beauty and my heart skipped a beat and a big smile spread over my face. That view was and still is stunning and I knew right there and then I wanted to have a slice of this beauty for myself on a larger scale. Three years later, having rented my cottage in Cornwall and saved a few pennies, I hitched up a caravan and drove down here to see what I could make of myself. I’m not going to say it has been easy (it most definitely hasn’t been) but I would say it is worth it. I have learnt a lot about myself and this beautiful country I now reside in.
What I really desire to do is give that same magical experience I first felt when I looked out from the Arrifana road to the Monchique mountains in the far distance and give that same sense of wonder and feeling of beauty and magnificence to our clients and guests who come on any of our Tours or stay with us in any of our Holiday Homes. This area is magical, hidden, a secret, a gem and it is waiting to be discovered, so why not allow us to show you some of the best bits some of the secret bits some of the lesser known bits. This is our job now, to look after you to tell you about this area it’s rich history it’s hidden gems. We love doing our job and after thirteen years of being here I haven’t tired a bit of this area or showing it off to visitors.
