Comments:
This is the very first Navicache cache in Portugal!!!

We have not implemented maps outside of the U.S.A. ... YET!

Additional maps for this cache available at:

"This cache can be searched and found like any other traditional cache, but …

… it can be the starting point for an international cooperation as well:

This cache is just one cache of a set of 30 caches named European IMC No. 1 … (IMC = International Multi-Cache). These caches are hidden in 15 European countries:

Austria (A), Belgium (B), Denmark (DK), Finland (FIN), France (F), Germany (D), Great Britain (GB), Hungary (H), Ireland (IRL), Italy (I), Luxembourg (L), Netherlands (NL), Portugal (P), Spain (E) and Sweden (S).

In each country there is a "primary cache" like this one and a "secondary cache" that can only be found with "hints" distributed to all primary caches.

The 15 primary caches are named "European IMC No.1 P-x - yyy" and the 15 secondary caches "European IMC No.1 S-x - zzz" where x is the country code given above and yyy and zzz can be any additional name.

The hints for the secondary caches are printed on "lists of hints" that are inside the primary caches. As the primary caches are scattered all over Europe it will either require a lot of travelling or - and that is the intention of the European IMC No. 1 - international cooperation:

If you want to find the secondary cache as well, you should contact finders of other primary European IMC No. 1 caches and exchange the hints.

And please don't be a poor sport!

Never publish these hints anywhere! Not in a log report or on any web side. The hints shall only be exchanged / traded between geocachers that found the primary caches and want to search the secondary caches.

The European IMC No. 1 team wish you good luck!"

Its natural envolvency of rare beauty is a compound of calm and pure amusement consonant the aptitudes and desires of each one. The green and the blue one create a complicity of such magnificent form, that we will be before a true situated paradise exactly in the center of the country. Either pure and simply to relax, either for country strolls or the practical one of the Diving, the Windsurf or the Hydroski, the "Albufeira do Castelo de Bode" has many options for offering to it. In the localities of "Aldeia do Mato" and "Fontes" two sightseeing places had been developed that allow to take off the maximum broken of the magnificent landscape that the Albufeira has to offer.

The Ecomuseu, whose headquarters it is in the locality of Martinchel and being already one it has asked for basic in the tourist promotion of the Albufeira, making use of a support center, studies and spreading of the area.
The Hunt

To this hunt, I prepared two approaches; One for calm geocachers who wish to know the area without rush - Follow the track in a TrackMaker file I supply and admire the mixing of water and land - and another to Geocachers who prefer to hunt quickly - Just go to the Cache.

Cache Content:

A clear tupperware with a white cover inside a black bag with; Logbook, pen, stash note, documentation about the area, a hiking book ("Portugal Pé-ante-Pé - - Guia de Percursos Naturais", a music CD (Portuguese hits in Gregorian chants performed by "Mysticos"), a password to get a "Geocaching in Portugal" hat and several sheets of hint for the secondary caches in all participating countries. Also, I left the TB "Hendrik" and its Passport.

Don't forget: "Cache in, trash out"
