We are currently staying in Aerias dos Moinhos and the mem and I were just lounging by the pool when a drone came over! Sounded like a hedge trimmer so hardly stealth technology but I am not very happy. On the assumption it was mounting a camera, I gave the international recognition signal - middle finger extended. It dipped and flew off at that, then returned. I looked over the wall and saw a couple standing outside their car, controlling the drone. They scarpered when they saw me. Very odd. Not perving I guess, so were they casing our villa and others?

Re: New experience
It could be rental owners filming a show off of their property
OR it could be your worst fears of someone casing the various Villas
OR it could be some like this: https://vimeo.com/125736792

Is quite incredible how quickly the criminal fraternity adopt new technology for their criminal activites. I'd suggest if repeat happens, try and jot down car reggy details.

We saw a couple whilst we were over in July - the seagulls had great fun chasing the first one all the way down to the beach - hope they got it
It made me wonder what sort of pervert was flying a drone over the swimming pools of the villas on the hill up from the Jailhouse

Is it just me or is the road a bit dodgy at 1m 02s in that video, not much cliff under it.

Re: New experience
it might be the Camera checking villa occupation against rental receipts?
