Our "adventure" today starts with a walk to Museu de Arte Sacra de Albufeira, just ten minutes from our apartment.  It is also known as Saint Sebastian Chapel.  It was built in 1740, and is now dedicated to a martyr born here in 1590, Saint Vincent of Albufeira.  In 1617 he became a priest, traveled to Mexico, 5 years later to Manila, Philippines, and another year later to Japan.  This was at a time when Christians were being persecuted in Japan.  He was sent to prison six years later and in 1632 he was martyred by fire.  Since 1965  he has been the Patron Saint of Albufeira.  Seeing this small chapel takes 20 minutes, with it's beautiful alter and artifacts.

Our planned second venue of the day is Museu Municipal de Arquelogia.  We walk ten minutes up the road, only to find the Museu is closed for remodeling.  Oye!   Message: If you come to Albuferia, don't come for it's history.

​
We return to the apartment then later go out for a late lunch.  We walk along the upper beach promenade to the Beach Basket Restaurant.  I have at least a 12 oz portion of fresh salmon grilled and plated with butter sauce, while William has a huge piece of cod.  Both are perfectly prepared.  Delicious!
