Monte Gordo evolved from a fishing village into a holiday hotspot in the 1980s. It boasts a long, calm beach, surrounding pine forests, a habitat for Mediterranean chameleons, proximity to historic towns, family-friendly beaches, great cycling and walking opportunities, and various water sports.

Cacela Velha is full of hidden stories! Beyond its fortress and church, you can spot hints of its Moorish past. Some of the original village has even been lost to rising sea levels over the years, but its charm is perfectly intact.

The Knights of the Order of Christ once used Cacela as a strategic base.

For inspiration, artists often turn to this peaceful village.
