Good start Hugo, but not correct, although the country is right.   Not near a beach and the clue is in the picture.  Armacao de Pera has one of the best beaches in the Algarve, but the Chapel is some 25 miles away.    ;)

Oh!  You are so close!  Just look at those stones on the carpet, remind you of anything?    :D

I had noticed those "moledros" on the carpet but couldn't find a chapel in Foia.

However I'll say Foia as there may be a Chapel there, even a military one.     ???

Got it!   Looking straight out from the Chapel door are the Moledros, just across the road.  It is a quaint little place but I don't know whether it has a name, why it is there or who it is used by.   Just down the road in Monchique is another small Chapel, Santa Teresa, which IS on Google! 
 :D

Took all of three and a half minutes. . . . . What kept you?    :D ;D

An easy peasy one.   What are they and why the numbers?

  Dave, you ask where was I last Sunday?

  The more religious amongst us (of whom I am sorry to say I am not one) often complain that places like this obvious example are supplanting religion.

 Retail is the new religion on Sunday, and I would image Traffod Centre is probably the best, or worst, example.

  So, Dave, where will you be next Sunday?   On your knees in a Baptist chapel?  You could always do your Trafford shopping on a Monday.    Mike

Are we back in Portugal and those are the Cork Oak Trees that are due to have the bark stripped for making corks for wine bottles?       ZXZ

Quite right !  The cork bark is only stripped every 9th year and the number shows when it was last stripped.  Cork is still used for most (if not all) Portuguese wines and certainly for fine wines by other wine producers.   

That's enuff Portugal for a while!   $walesflag$
