Portuguese word of the day, actually three words for starters. Praia da luz means beach of light.
Portuguese flag
Atalaia Tower (Portuguese: Torre de Atalaia)
Castle of Senhora da Luz (Portuguese: Castelo da Senhora da Luz/Fortaleza de Nossa senhora da Luz),
Now some more.
Portuguese: Igreja da Nossa Senhora da Luz (church of Our Lady of the light)
My search through pictures led me to a website page all in Portuguese, but most of it was instantly recognizable to anyobody who spoke English. Look at this:
https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lista_de_patrim%C3%B3nio_edificado_no_distrito_de_Faro
That is 12 words we now know and can recongize.
