Sorry, committed a typo. I wanted to type "...is not in Armação de Pera, it is near.".

Good recording! Quite clear!

I recall that the capel is not in Armação de Pera, not near. It has the Hotel Viking nearby.

By the way, are you from Armação de Pera? Do you know an apartment building called "Marisol" (if I recall). It is a white buiding with brown stripes, with about 12 floors or so, right at the beginning of the town (or perhaps not quite at the beginning since the place grew). It had a Chinese restaurant there. I'm not sure if the restaurant still exists. I used to live my vacations in that building. Those were the good times!

Sounds like a beach city. A few people walk by talking and a few cars in the distance. Waves are frequent, sounds like you're 20 or 30 yards from shore. Good recording.
