About the area
Region
The Costa Vicentina is a part of the Natural Park that starts further north in the Southwest Alentejo and is the longest stretch of protected Portuguese coast.
Its a part of the Algarve where the preserved nature has a strong, wild character, creating breathtaking landscapes with its cliffy coastlines and beautiful beaches.
The area with its unique species of animal and plant life can be explored by the "Rota Vicentina", a network of hiking trails along the coastline. Small fisher-villages along the coastline give an insight into traditional portuguese culture.
Praia da Arrifana which is surrounded and protected by cliffs, and the open beaches Praia do Monte Clérigo and Praia da Amoreira are making the area a popular destination for surfers and beach lovers.
