Nearby in Estoi are Roman ruins, and Albufeira, also nearby, is a formerly quaint fishing village influenced by the Moors in the 8th century. It’s situated in a cliffside location, and has become famous for its beaches (there are 20) and nightlife.

Park is small but beautiful. Except peacocks roaming everywhere you can find turtles in the fountain and birds and rabbits in the cages and couple of playgrounds. I agree that park needs more attentions especially according to animals in cages. But hey, it's absolutely free and it is still beautiful.
