Branqueira - buses cannot stop in Branqueira in this direction. There is stop called Camino Semina about 300 metres before the village centre.
Vale Navio towards Albufeira - although the official on line information says buses stop there, there is no stop sign.
Buses on route 1 use the stop on the other side of the road before turning round to go back to Albufeira.
NOTE - on schooldays the 0800 bus from Patã de Baixo goes via the Prof. Diamantina Negrão School and will be two minutes later than usual at the Arcadas São João and after.
** - The Giro stop at Patã de Baixo is close to the roundabout at the edge of the village. VAMUS buses go further along the road. Map here.
Vale da Azinheira and Patã de Baixo are also served by VAMUS routes 9 and 66 to and from Albufeira Bus Station via Olhos de Agua, Arcadas São João and Albufeira Shopping.
