Mainly with the local authorities. (Original) Um local bonito mas infelizmente abandonado é de suma importância haver uma memória deste tipo de locais, uma postura ativa das pessoas para a preservação do património nacional. Principalmente junto das autoridades locais.

    Muito interessante, para quem gosta de história e locais antigos, as ruínas são um local a visitar. Não tem muito para ver, mas mesmo assim, dá para ter uma ideia de como o convento seria na altura e o tipo de arquitetura que foi usada. Deixo também em nota que, todo o convento se encontra em cima de areia.

    It is difficult to appreciate how BIG this place is from the road. It must have been spectacular in it’s prime. There is evidence of some beautiful architectural detail, including stone carvings. It is quite sandy, so bring good footwear. Best not go barefoot as sadly some visitors have left broken glass and trash. It’s a beautiful spot though. Quiet, and a great view of the ocean and hillside.

    (Translated by Google) Like many other national heritage sites, this one is largely abandoned by sand. (Original) Como muito outro património nacional, este tambem está ao abandono grande parte coberto por areia.

    É impressionante o facto desta edificação do séc. XVI, tão perto do mar, ainda estar de pé. As entidades competentes deveriam desenterrar a metade do edifício que já foi engolida pela areia. Ficaria ainda mais imponente.

    Está disponível para quem passa. Falta de limpeza. Gostei porque consegui imaginar como seria o convento e eu gosto de história assim. Convento do século XVI.

    Vom Meer ca. 10 min zu Fuß entfernt. Sehr gut zu erreichen. Kein Eintrittsgeld, somit frei zugänglich. Schöner Spaziergang.

    Специально ехать не стоит. Руины в красивом месте, но посмотреть там особо нечего.

    (Translated by Google) Very sad to see the heritage abandoned while building marmarrachos. Restore before doing more damage. It was an important convent. The ruin still retains some architectural nobility. (Original) Muito triste ver o património abandonado enquanto se construíram mamarrachos. Restaurem antes de fazerem mais dano. Foi um convento importante. A ruína ainda conserva alguma nobreza arquitectónica.

    Cuando el tiempo y la naturaleza convierten en olvido las creaciones del ser humano, pasa esto. Un edificio del siglo xvl dejado al abandono de su suerte.
