This really is a slice of authentic, non-touristy Portugal.
The apartment had a lot of space, comfy beds, and a powerful shower. Communication and help from Maria was fantastic.
Lots of very local restaurants - food v fresh but menu limited to grilled seafood or meat. Very highly recommend the coffee shop diagonally opposite which was always full of locals.
If you don't have a car ots a 45 min walk into town so we used the resdoly public electric scooter which were great fun.
And strange though this recommendation is you MUST go and see the public laundrette. Yes, really.
