Branqueira - in this direction buses cannot stop in Branqueira. There is stop called Camino Semina about 300 metres before the village centre.
Vale Navio towards Albufeira - buses on route 9 do not stop going towards Albufeira. You have to walk all the way along to the Branqueira stop, about  450 metres!
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.
Quicker but more expensive than these Giro buses. Tickets are not interchangeable. Times to Albufeira here, from Albufeira here.
## Route 1 also runs between these places and the Bus Station via a different route
++ Route 2 also serves these stops but does NOT go via Avenida Liberdade en route to the Centro Saúde and Bus Station
(%%) this stop is outside Janelas do Mar apartments. Route 6 also stops here daily; routes 2 and 4 on weekdays only.
($) this stop is outside the big Chinese shop and across the road from the large ALDI supermarket.
($$) this stop is a few metres from the roundabout opposite the shops. Map for both stops here.

GIRO Route 3 runs from Old Town Avenida da Liberdade to Rotunda Golfinhos, Páteo and Cerro D'Águia (but only in this one direction) daily at these times.
