This is the moment a group of migrants landed on an Algarve beach where thousands of wealthy Brits holiday every year.
The 38 asylum seekers arrived in Portugal after a perilous voyage of up to 250 miles in a tiny 15ft boat - and face being deported from Portugal within weeks.
They were rounded up by Portuguese police on Friday near Burgau on part of the Algarve coast which is a popular retreat for tourists, and only four miles from Praia da Luz where Madeleine McCann disappeared.
One of the Moroccan nationals claimed that four people on the flimsy wooden boat had died during their five days at sea in the Atlantic Ocean.
But in an example of Portugal’s no-nonsense policy on illegal immigration, the 25 men, six women and seven children face being quickly returned to Morocco.
