You are  near the bustling market town of Loule, the gentle hill town of Sao Bras and Faro, the capital of the Algarve with its historic centre. These are twenty minute drive away as is the delightful "Ilhe De Faro", the least spoiled of the beaches, refreshingly free of 'do not' signs and, dare we say other holidaymakers!

ROUTE DIRECTIONS

On leaving the airport take the road signposted Faro. Keep straight on (do not take the slip road to Faro) sign posts will say S.Bras (or Sao.Bras de Alportel ).
When the short stretch of motorway ends you will come don onto the Sao Bras road.

Keep to this road for approx. 6km. You will pass a sign reading N2 Sao Bras de Alportel and shortly afterwards a sign to S.Bras de Alportel, Estoi. Turn right (don't miss this turn or you will be on the IP1 motorway). Carry on this road for just over a kilometre until you see a Galp petrol station on your right and then pass under the IP1 flyover, immediately after that look for a road off to the left with a sign Bordeira 3 km. Turn left here.

This road twists and climbs to Bordeira. Drive through this village and continue climbing. areful now, after approximately 1km. the sign for S.Bres de Alportel should be on your right.  You must turn shortly before this sign.
If you reach the crest of the hill you have gone too far.  Turn up the drive and you will see the sign "Cerro Grande" written on a stone on the ground.
