RE: A fishing village, Afurada, Portugal and answers to April HPUD Guessing Contest

in Pinmapplelast month

I think you are right, it is a bit of a double edged sword. A lot of places that are very touristy rely on that income to keep them going through the year when things are slower, but they likely get annoyed by all the people invading their space! This looks like it was a really cool little village!

Sort:  

I get a feeling they don't seem too bothered with tourism here.

They're next to a marina which runs river cruises, and a bit further on they are a lot of new flashy apartments by the river. I wonder how much longer Afurada can retain its current form

I have been thinking about doing one of those river cruises for a while now. I'm not sure where, but they just seem like fun. I kind of like the fact that the boats are smaller and there are less people.
