There’s also the Boavista Golf and Spa Resort’s restaurant - there is plenty to entice you – come along with friends or make new friends at a wine tasting dinner, listen to live music while savouring one of our chef’s delicious dishes or participate in the increasingly popular Friday night ‘Dr Why Quiz?’. Electronically mastered and garrulously hosted in English, the quiz
commences at 8.30pm allowing time to eat and chat beforehand. For entertainment of a less taxing nature, join us for a traditional ‘Fado’ evening and soak up the true soul and culture of the Portuguese people.

Chicca’s Garden Party By Chicca Chicca’s Charity is still going strong. This year we are focusing on providing various shelters with all the food the animals need. Since December 2015 Chicca’s Charity has provided the dogs at Cadela Carlota with all the food they need every month. My fund raising is mighty and we have found that there are always some funds leftover monthly, so we have footed several emergency vet bills. We feel it is imperative to provide the shelter with a quarantine area to house new and sick dogs to prevent the spread of disease (like the parvovirus outbreak last month). A quarantine area would save many vet bills, not to mention lives!
It is our goal this year is to provide the dogs and cats with all the food they need. They want to provide a quarantine area, to enlarge the current housing areas by providing more fences and installing them, thus giving the existing dogs more space with less cramped conditions. We aim to sponsor our vet for a year of preventative medicine. To create a play area for the dogs to enjoy out of their normal enclosures. To get more dogs adopted and sooner, by creating a networking web site promoting the dogs worldwide. We are tireless in our endeavors to improve the shelters. Please, help me help the animals.
Al fresco singing By Liz Roberts meet all through the summer months and, as well as our regular and outdoor rehearsals, we also have a series of workshops or masterclasses where various choir skills are covered (such as rhythm, harmonising or singing technique). As always, anybody can attend any of these dates - so even if you're only visiting the area for a week or so but you still like the idea of singing with the choir, please feel free to come and join in. The weather is hotting up and it's nearly that time of year when the choir starts to take our rehearsals and performances outdoors...what could be more fun than singing together and enjoying the beautiful evening sunshine at the same time?! Outdoor performance dates will be announced soon. And just to let you know that we continue to
