Beach
If swimming or staying under the sun are your goal, then Monte Gordo is a good option - the water is the warmest in Portugal, the beach, though generally crowded, is large enough for the thousands that use it.
Lodging and catering are cheaper than in the top touristy destinations.That's why the percentage of Portuguese people in this beach is much bigger than elsewhere, only the Spanish taking advantage of the proximity to mix with us. There's not much to see and do, locally, but is possible to make a few short trips to some interesting points - Faro is less than one hour distant, and Seville less than two hours, for instance. |
