Bordeira
Village and surrounding area with trails and access to very open landscapes on the western Algarve coast. Bordeira maintains the spirit of a rural Vicentine community, with few houses, silence, and an intimate relationship with the land. The paths leading from the village lead to landscapes of raw and expansive beauty, among fields, cliffs, and ocean.
Aljezur
Amoreira Landscape
The mouth of the Aljezur River into the Atlantic Ocean creates one of the most special landscapes on the western Algarve coast. The junction of river and sea forms a unique ecosystem — at low tide, the riverbanks create a calm and sheltered beach area, ideal for families. Dark and dramatic cliffs, extensive sandy areas, and the color contrast between the river and ocean waters complete the scene. Located in the Vicentina Coast Natural Park, this landscape goes far beyond a classic beach.
Aljezur
Praia da Murração
One of the wildest and least frequented beaches on the Algarve's Costa Vicentina. Murracao is battered by Atlantic winds and waves, with a raw and powerful landscape that contrasts with the southern coastline. The difficult access keeps it in a state of near virginity, ideal for those seeking unspoiled nature.
Vila do Bispo
Aldeia da Pedralva
A restored village in the Vila do Bispo municipality, with a very unique and distinct vibe. Almost abandoned for years, it has been revitalized as a sustainable tourist village, maintaining traditional architecture and community spirit. The whitewashed houses, dirt streets, and rural surroundings create an atmosphere of authenticity and relaxation that attracts travelers seeking something different.
