Oilmills of the Sea

According to 93 year old resident Dona Ermelinda, whiom I met thanks to Jorge Sá Pessoa, who comes on weekends, this was originally called Praia dos Moleiros (Millmen Beach). It is located in an area devoted to wine growing. Azenhas do Mar features a seawater pool next to a minute beach. It was competing with the pool in Apple Beach, but without success. It is rather remembered by its scenery as in this picture taken on Christmas' Eve, 1997 by afreitas@pasteur.fr).
