TIMETABLE NOTES
* The two buses that start from São Romão leave there ten minutes before the time at Bordeira.
A - São Bras de Alportel has a small bus terminal about 800 metres to the north of the town centre near the 'Rotunda do Centenário'. 
Buses to and from Faro also stop closer to the town centre in Rua José Louro. For other buses at São Bras de Alportel, click here
B - this is the closest stop to the Milreu Roman museum, about 200 metres walk.
C - this is a number 61 bus. On schooldays there is also a number 65 bus at 0800 from S.Bras to Faro that does not go via Estoi

The Estoi Cemetery stop is 150 metres from the village centre and the Palace. There are other stops in the village
depending on where the bus is coming from or going to. The stop at the crossroads is nearer the Milreu Roman site.
The Palace of Estoi is now a 'pousada' hotel. The gardens are open to the public on weekdays only.
