Geocache Description:

Five years after the creation of my 1st cache comes the 5th cache of my series "Cerros do Algarve".

This is kinda of a homage to my "premiere", which was placed in 2005 and it's still there, holding its position. I decided to create the current cache in a revivalistic fashion. So it will be a simple listing. No fancy HTML code or nice pictures. No waypoints, no help desk (*), just the coordinates and that's it.

Ironically, being the last of "Cerros do Algarve" series, it's also the one closest to my place. Actually, if you draw a straight line from this cache, you will find my villa less than 500 m to SW. But in fact there is a reason for this: when I started doing Geocaching, each cache was carefully placed, the network of caches forming a exquisite collection of awesome locations. By then I didn't think Cerro do Botelho was that good. But now, under the current scale of values, it became perfectly valid. Thus this new cache.

There is an old stone wall nearby. Please don't be a barbarian. Read the hint if necessary but leave no trace behind.

As this cache is following the old style, you will have to find a proper way to get there. You won't spend endless time looking for a damn fancy container. Instead, the challenge is to get there, enjoying a nice place and logging a "found" as the reward. Try to do your home work or the difficulty level will increase considerably.

(*) - As it's placed so close from my place, I will change its hideout regularly, trying to minimize the impact of helpdesk.
