A beautiful find from a holiday in the Algarve.
Spotted in the Old Town of Albufeira, a town on the Atlantic coast.
I have been trying to find out what this place is exactly but no luck so far…
Postcard from… Albufeira, Algarve

Hello
I came across a post asking about the Translators House in Albufeira, and if you still wondering about it, here goes.
This was a project, back in the end of the 90s, from Anabela Cipriano, who among other things was a translator. In the ground floor apartment of our family house, she wanted to create a sort gathering place for translators, writers and philosophers to share and work.
Unfortunately, my mother’s health conditions halted the project, and she passed away in 2009.
My 90 year-old grandmother still lives in the top floor and rents the ground floor, if you pass by, just say hello.
Best regards,
João
Hi João,
Great to hear from you. What a lovely comment. I hope to be back in Albufeira some day…
Best wishes to you and your grandmother,
Monika
