    Tips

    Mountain biking

    Fort Santo Alberto on Pessegueiro Island and the Fort of Nossa Senhora da Queimada, near the beach of Pessegueiro, are defenses built to protect this coast from piracy. The construction of these two fortresses began in the Philippine period around 1588, but ended in 1690 after the restoration of Portuguese independence.
    The earthquake of 1755 caused considerable damage to this group of fortresses, and although they were classified as national monuments, they are abandoned.
    The fort has no opening hours for the public.
    There are fantastic sunsets.
