We made a short trip by sea to see dolphins but they were not there, it is the law of nature. Then, the major part in the Ria which offers a multitude of places to stop. Armando does his best to satisfy our desires.

Stop off at Culatra and eat at A-do-Joao. Great food. Not cheap but worth it for the experience.
