Amovate are pleased to announce that a Heart Defibrillator has now been installed at the Pines Roundabout, by Junta de Freguesia Aljezur. It’s the first in the Aljezur Region and is now operative.
If someone has a cardiac arrest, make sure you
Firstly ring 112 to alert the Bomberios
Start CPR chest compressions
Get someone else to collect the Defibrillator from the box:
Open the 2 catches top and bottom and open the door, you will see a closed transparent inner box which is locked. Press the button and talk to the operators, they will release the door remotely. A code will be sent to allow this to be used as the defib will be tracked by satellite.
A large part of our clients are residents of Vale da Telha and also a large part of the community live not only in Vale da Telha but also in the district of Aljezur.
We stand out in the field of paints and materials for wood treatment, multiple surfaces among many other construction products.
We decided at the request of numerous customers mostly the “foreign” community of Vale da Telha and surroundings, to move to SWCOLOR ART, which is to have all kinds of material to exploit this gift that we are fully aware that exists in the municipality and surrounding areas.
I am talking about canvases, oil paints, charcoal, pencils and specific markers, and a whole range of products that not existing in the county forces customers to travel to Portimão where there is a reference shop for such products of the best brands at the best price.
We can guarantee that all artists will no longer need to travel to Portimão to have the necessary material to expand their art.
We will have the best brands and strongholds at the most competitive price in the region.
I invite all members of Amovate to visit our shop once in order to prove the diversity and prices of the material that from Monday we will have available in our shop.
SWCOLOR ALJEZUR & SW ARTS Can be found at the bottom of Rua 29 de Agosto, Aljezur (the road where Spar is located).
Saturday, 5 November 10:00 am – 12:00 pm Slideshow and presentation: Amovate School House Mid-day lunch break at local cafe (optional) 2:00 – 5:00 pm Walking sessions at Monte Clérigo and Arrifana

Doctors often prescribe two things for your physical and mental health as you get older—a daily walk, and the company of a dog.
Now, AEZA, the animal welfare charity based in Aljezur on the Algarve’s west coast is offering people in the area the opportunity to enjoy both, while at the same time helping out a worthy organization that is desperately seeking volunteers.
AEZA Vice President Kerry Gross told us: “We are a small charity run by overstretched volunteers and need help to improve the lives of the dogs and cats in our care.
“We need volunteers to help walk the dogs on Tuesdays and Fridays at 10.30am and Sundays at 2.30pm. These are the only times the dogs get proper exercise and contact with people other than their carers, so this is important mental stimulation as well as physical.
“We have dogs to suit all, small, medium, large, and friendly, as well as those with special needs, the shy ones and the ones that need a strong person.
“You don’t need to book to walk the dogs, just come when you are able to at the stated times”.
Anyone interested should make their way to the shelter at the relevant times, and Kerry explained, “Our shelter is located just outside Aljezur. From the only roundabout in Aljezur, alongside the Camara offices, take the N120 heading north out towards Rogil.
“After about 1km you will see a left-hand turning sign posted to Amoreira beach. Take that turning and after a further 1km you will see a red rock cliff on your right with a stone track alongside it.
“Turn onto that track and the shelter is the first building on the left.
“For those of you with GPS the co-ordinates are: 37.326370, – 8.805241
“You can also find us via Google maps at this location:
“We would really love to see you there—and so, more importantly, would the dogs!”
Kerry added that AEZA was also looking for volunteers to help maintain and repair the infrastructure at the kennels, explaining, “We could also do with people with DIY abilities to keep up the maintenance of our crumbling facilities, which are old former pig buildings that the dogs now live in.
“We also have a cattery and the cats always welcome visitors for a cuddle and a chat”.
She added, “Our fundraising committee also welcomes new volunteers as would our main committee”.
