The ‘Alzirinha’ Albufeira cruise company has been offering trips to the children of the Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Albufeira children’s homes on their traditional sardine fishing boat. At least 35 children from the Pirilampos and Gaivota homes have been out on morning cruises up and down the coast. Not just an ordinary boat trip, the staff of the ‘Alzirinha’ are working with the Amigos das Crianças to provide an educational experience for the children on board, where they learn about basic seamanship, including steering the boat, knots; marine biology; and geology of the coastline.
