The Alcalar necropolis is the most significant Neolithic site in the Algarve and a National Monument. It is located in the N. of Mexilhoeira Grande, in the municipality of Portimão. The massive cairn at the center of the complex, Monument 7, is the most impressive of the megalithic structures found there. The necropolis was part of a larger social and cultural development in the southern Iberian Peninsula that occurred around 3000 BC. It was during this period that fortified settlements were built that show evidence of copper metallurgy, the so-called Copper Age.

Burgau Beach (Praia de Burgau) is located in a sheltered bay at the foot of the village and is surrounded by high cliffs. The sand is fine and golden, and the water is usually calm, making it ideal for swimming and families. From the beach, you have beautiful views of the coast, and there are restaurants and cafes within walking distance.
