After Arriving with my new Visa January 21, 2022 to my long standing 30 day reservation at an AirBNB here in Armacao de Pera (pronounced Arm-a-sow de Pear-a) I started looking for a long term apartment to stay in Albufiera, but it is quieter and much smaller at 35,000 in the summer, more quiet and is favored by Portuguese families and tourists. It is about 25 minutes West of Albufeira which has more English, US and Europeans and higher rental prices swelling to 300,000 people during the summer.
The Albufeira bus station is far reaching and gets me anywhere I want to go-West and north to Lisbon, Porto etc or East to Tavira along the border with Spain. My first visit in Spain will be
Beach cliff walkway west

There is a cave and arches there I will show in later photos. the building on the right un known to me at the time of this picture is the corner cobblestone walkway to my new place. Take a right. to Sevilla, then Cadiz South, (both close to Portugal), Valencia, Barcelona or Madrid and beyond to France. I will reserve Gibraltar (Spain/UK) for if and when I decide to go to Morocco in Northern Africa.
