  Peculiar to Portugal is being able to cross and have access to all countryside and farmland, they do not expect  people  to  damage or disturb other s property. Consequently there is a vast network of paths  and tracks to explore by foot or bicycle. Nearby is the stunning scenery of the MONCHIQUE  Mountains and the BARRAGEM ARADE,  a massive reservoir and dam. 

Within an hour by car  are all the beaches of the Algarve (many undeveloped and quiet), also the natural parks of FORMOSA near Faro, ALVOR and at the west coast where there is the end of the world at CAPE St VINCENT. Ten minutes by car is SILVES, the most historic town of the Algarve, dominated by the well  preserved ironstone castle. Next to it is the beautiful cathedral. Silves has many tiny cobbled streets with houses that have not changed for centuries.

Just created is the new golf course at AMENDOEIRA (Almond Tree) which is only a ten minute drive from here.

Only thirty minutes drive from Quinta da Vista is the PORTIMAO Racing Circuit (AUTODROMO ALGRAVE) in the foothills of the Monchique Mountains, it's construction and all its facilities have been of major importance to Portugal - Another great attraction to the Algarve.
