I think the little train still goes to Ferragudo a couple of times a week but there is now the hop on hop off bus that goes to Ferragudo. It runs every day every 30-40 mins from 9am to 11pm and costa 6€ for 12 hours. You can spend as much time in Ferragudo as you like.

Train starts and finishes at the square. It's not like the hop-on hop-off bus, once you're on the train you can't get off until it returns to the square.

Tell you what, though. It doesn't half bounce you around and shake you up. It wouldn't suit my wife who suffers from neck and back problems. It's great fun if you don't suffer from those problems.

Anyone know when the little train starts again?

And if there’s an Easter parade ?
