Pego do Inferno Waterfall, near Tavira. One of the gems our members have pinned on the map: the swimming spots, viewpoints and local secrets that don't make the guidebooks. The map keeps growing as people add their own. Um dos recantos que os nossos membros marcaram no mapa: os sítios que não aparecem nos guias. O mapa cresce à medida que cada um acrescenta os seus. #algarve #algarvecircle #portugal #hiddenalgarve #secretspots #tavira
