This is a work by artist Carlos de Oliveira Correia. You can find his work everywhere in the Algarve.
But here he has already lost a walking stick.

View of the Ria Formosa lagoon

Highlight • Viewpoint

A small round through the village with a magnificent view of the mudflats.
This place is probably included in every bus tour of the regional organizers, i.e. other groups are also staying there 🤣

Highlight • Monument

Perhaps one or two bikers won't just roll past this sculpture carelessly, but will be inspired by the metal lady on her bike to do the same and pause briefly …
