The village of Barao Sao Joao in the countryside near Lagos has seen a few changes - mostly northers Europeans arriving and opening up intriguing small shops and business, selling handmade shoes, for example.
Close by Sao Joao is a protected forest, complete with a picnic and barbeques for public use.
In the same area thereis a fascinating zoo where children in particular enjoy interaction with the animals. A conservation programme to help perpetuate and prtect certain species is in operation there.
There are some sizeable hills further north but most of the area consists of gentle rolling landscape, very typical of the Algarve and ideal for walking and horse riding.
