Classic Quinta near Lagos
Self-catering holiday rental villa with seaview, pool area, privacy
A traditional quinta in the hills near Lagos, Western Algarve, Portugal
Under the motto 'Support your Local Market', the old vegetable garden (lots of hard work for something the village market sells at neighbourly prices) is being turned into a palm garden. Over the last two years some twenty young palms have been planted - the beginning of an interesting collection of species. Among them: Neodypsis, Brahea armata, Sabal minor, Butia capitata, Trachycarpus fortunei, Chamaedorea elegans, Chamaerops humilis, Livistona chinensis, Livistona australis, Washingtonia robusta, Phoenix reclinata, Phoenix canariensis and a very small Bismarckia.
