Programme: our chairman, Edward Godfrey, will lead us a walking tour on the South side of the River Tagus on the morning of the 11^th of April.

On arrival at Cacilhas by the ferry we shall walk along the sea wall and visit the Naval Museum at Olho de Boi. Next we shall pass by the former premises of the Companhia Portuguesa das Pescas and take the panoramic lift up to the historic centre of Almada. A gentle downhill walk will take us to back to Cacilhas where participants may wish to lunch at one of the many fish restaurants and then visit the museum ship – the Portuguese sailing frigate, D. Fernando II e Gloria.
