The fighting of the locally reared bulls takes place at Alcochete. In Portugal the bull is not killed and trots out of the ring with a his prize, a harem of cows. The star of the show is on horseback but probably the bravest are the men who enter the ring for the finale and have to wrestle the bull to the ground and subdue it. There are small coves on a south facing coast and may restaurants serving excellent freshly caught fish. Lisbon is best visited by leaving the car on the south of the river and enjoying the ferry ride into the centre of the capital For the use of guests, there is one suite, two double bedrooms and one single room all of which have en suite bathrooms.
