Popular Portuguese cuisine

You can expect to find some gorgeous restaurants in the area serving some of Portugal’s most delicious dishes. If you’re a fish fanatic, you should try cataplana, a tasty fish stew. For some original peri-peri chicken, Guia is only a ten-minute drive away.

Beautiful beaches

Praia da Gale is the place to be when it comes to sun, sea and scenic surroundings. You’ll come across teeny rock pools perfect for exploring at the eastern side, with Sao Rafael Beach a short drive onwards too. Orange cliffs and rolling waves make this a beauty to behold.

Things to do

Shop for handmade woven baskets or browse the daily Calicos Market at the top of the hill. Albufeira is your best bet for oodles of shopping, just ten minutes from there in a car. Or wine not tour the famous Adego do Cantor winery?
