This cache is on the top of a prominent hill near the village of Faz Fato. To reach it you need to follow a rough track. It is about a 1km walk from the nearest tarmac road. There are fantastic views in all directions. You can see Spain, the bridge across the Guadiana and the rolling hills of the Algarve hinterland. Please look at the photo gallery.
