This used to be a military area, but there is nothing remaining... except a line of WARNING signs and a bunker

This spot is on an island off Faro. There are three little villages in this island, mostly used for summer vacations. But the area was traditionally used by the military. In the early 20th Century there was a seaplanes base here. Then the Navy used the area for storage and practicing.
Nowadays there is only one abandoned bunker, but what is interesting is a line of Warning signs. They look like ghost signs because people are not aware of the past activities so they really don't make sense.
