Ajiru is a fruit that is typical of Ilha de Algodoal beaches. Especially Praia do Farol has a huge shrubbery that bears this delicious (plumlike to appearance) fruit.

I was visiting the island during Christmas and at that time ajiru was just in abundance. Yum-yum :))

There are no cars on the island. The main vehicle are carriages drawn by horses and sometimes even by donkeys. Consequently there is neither sonorous pollution nor polluting exhausts.

The island provide more than 40 registered carriages. They bring you about everywhere, even to the most distant and out-of-the-way locations, and they come back to look for you at the appointed time.
