The surrounding landscape is partly wild and untouched with orange groves mixed in throughout. A place of complete tranquillity, with few exceptions. Two small convenience stores are about 2 Km away and only 9 Km to reach the old Moorish town of Silves an attractively sleepy place with cobbled streets and historic buildings.<br><br>Faro Airport is a 45-60 minute drive, the shortest route being a toll road.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d100851.25407923132!2d-8.393881816847673!3d37.1758250617232!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x0%3A0x0!2zMzfCsDEyJzU1LjYiTiA4wrAxOSczNC45Ilc!5e0!3m2!1sen!2sus!4v1616802198329!5m2!1sen!2sus\" style=\"border:0;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"300\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-large-font-size\" id=\"strand\">Beaches &amp; Surroundings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">The nearest south coast is about 17 km away and offers the long, flat sandy beach of Gal\u00e9 as well as many smaller bays (to be reached by small footpaths). The somewhat rough and adventurous west coast has a longer journey of about 55 minutes via the toll road. The trip is worthwhile though. Fascinating rock formations, watching the long swell with windsurfers and the exotic vegetation make it a sight to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on the season, various festivals take place in nearby towns. We are happy to provide information about current happenings. A zoo in Algoz (approximately 6 Km) and a large number of golf courses can be reached in a breeze. Gypsy and flea markets can be found nearby on Sundays and Mondays.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile is-image-fill-element has-black-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f7f5f0;grid-template-columns:auto 40%\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\" id=\"essen\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">Food &amp; Drink<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">An grand variety of restaurants and cafes are located near by.

There were three greenhouses for growing plants and an outdoor area for seasonal plants, trees and palms on the site. After the nursery was given up and the greenhouses were dismantled, we redesigned the property.<br><br>Attention was paid to drought-resistant plants and crop such as pitanga or brazil cherry, raspberries, blackberries and various citrus fruits have been planted throughout.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Over time, \u200b\u200bthe quinta was expanded to 5 hectares as we acquired surrounding property. Alfarobeira (carob) and Medronheiro (strawberry) trees were planted on the newly acquired land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Nature surrounding the Quinta was made accessible by newly created paths. The olive trees, some of which are very old, were rejuvenated by us and encouraged to grow smaller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Our latest project, a photovoltaic system, was built to support renewable energy and make the Quinta a little more self-sufficient.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Willkommen auf unserer Quinta Auf der Quinta kann man au\u00dfer Spazierg\u00e4ngen und kleineren Wanderungen auf zwei Bahnen Boule oder Petanque spielen.
