Salema Beach

Highlight • Beach

A former small fishing village, Salema now welcomes tourists from all over the world. In its picturesque little streets, shops and services abound.

The windmills no longer turn in Vila do Bispo, once the breadbasket of the Algarve, but the charm remains. The white houses descend gently down the hill crowned by the church tower, and the narrow streets hold the soul of the old Algarve: whitewashed facades, colorful frames, stone doors, and shadows that alleviate the heat.

Today, this welcoming village is a meeting point for major trails (the Fisherman's Trail, the Historical Way, and the Via Algarviana) and for travelers who find here rest, good food, and open-hearted people.

Sagres Village

Highlight • Settlement

In the extreme southwest of Portugal, Sagres and Cabo de São Vicente offer some of the most spectacular landscapes in the Algarve. High cliffs dominate the panorama, with fortresses built on top to defend the coast in the days of the great Portuguese navigators. The center of Sagres has an atmosphere that is simultaneously relaxed, due to all the surfers who come here for the good waves, and austere.

Cabo de São Vicente Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

Five kilometers from Sagres rises the mythical Cabo de São Vicente, the last gaze of land for explorers setting off towards the unknown of the vast ocean.

Wild, windy, and imposing, this promontory of steep cliffs plunges into the Atlantic, crowned by one of Europe's most powerful lighthouses.

Called by the Romans Promontorium Sacrum, the "end of the world" was for centuries a sacred place, shrouded in legends and mysteries. Today, it remains a pilgrimage point for sailors, hikers, and dreamers, where the horizon seems to dissolve into infinity.
