Pretty little tourist attraction,nice for the golfing wives to visit while the boys do the serious stuff on the greens.
We wildcamped up in the lay-by opposite those bogs, for a week in 2000 . Cops were great, the chap in the kiosk was helpful and made us welcome . Most other vans were clustered round the old washouse
We went back the next year, in a downpour. The cops stopped us going up to the Fonte Grande.
We decided to run down to the coast,for shelter.
Crossing the bridge, the river was boiling over the waterfall,running blood red.
About an hour after we left, the cliff face washed away.
We would have been marooned if the cops hadn't warned us off. They repaired the cliffs by rendering them in concrete and eventually covered that with a huge painted Portuguese flag.
Is it still there?
