The vacation coast
Your journey starts on the west coast in the quietness of the Alentejo, nicknamed "the bread basket" because of its many golden fields. You drive south through the huge natural park of the South-West Alentejano and Costa Vicentina, passing in particular Vila Nova de Milfontes and its beach popular with tourists. The typical village of Aljezur with its white houses and discreet alleys welcomes you to the Algarve.
From there, you descend to Sagres, the city of surfers, and Cape St. Vincent with its 200 m high cliffs. On the south coast you enter the most lively part of the Algarve, of which Portimão and one of the most famous beaches in Portugal, Praia da Rocha, are worthy representatives. You complete this sunny stay in the Vale do Guadiana natural park, then go to São Domingos and its old and majestic open pit mine. You will understand why this coast is so popular!
