FUSETA resembles Olhão on a small scale. Good for windsurfing. It's a village, but a busy one. So is MONCARAPACHO a few kilometres inland, in the heart of a well-watered and fertile area producing citrus and other fruits. There is a cultural gem here: the Santo Cristo Chuch and a little two-storey museum next door. The tiles covering most of the church are 17th century. They are unusual in that they are geometrically patterned in the Arab style rather than depicting biblical scenes, and they have bright yellow colouration in addition to the normal blue and white. The most interesting of three 17th century carved wooden figures is a rare example of a sitting Christ.

Next door is a treasure trove of artefacts ranging from the Stone Age through Roman, Visigothic and Moorish times to a remarkable display of 18th century nativity figurines. Everything in the museum was collected by a local priest.
