Ongoing Activities and Events

Sardine Handout

Friday August 29th, the Vale da Telha streets were full of the smell of fresh sardines being cooked on the grill. The local Camara of Aljezur handed out multitudes of fish to long lines at the Amovate (along with other locations throughout the council). For the rest of the afternoon there was the smoke of grills filled with delicious sardines, laughter of locals enjoying their amazing meals and satisfied groans of full bellies after the feast had been devoured. A great day for all. If you have a picture of your amazing meal, look for the post on Facebook Amovate page to add your memory in the comments.

Golf Society

The VdT Golf Society has been active for some years now and continues to welcome golfers of all levels. We play once a month on the morning of the second Thursday at either the Morgado or Alamos course close to Portimao. Competitions are primarily individual stableford scoring with the occasional team event. Prizes are awarded for best scores, nearest the pin and longest drive….plus a few “oddities”! Presentations and after golf socials are held at Vale da Telha’s Fonte Restaurant in the evening of the competition. Would you like to join the group? Please send a message to: vdt.golf@gmail.com, enter “Membership Enquiry” as the subject and we will contact you. Thanks to Bob for coordinating membership!
