Next, we suggest a stop in Vilamoura for lunch, visiting the marina after. In the town of Loulé very known for its Carnival, we will visit the Church of St. Clement, ending our visit at the Castle of Loulé.
ALBUFEIRA
Albufeira is located in the South of Portugal and is one of the most sought after cities in the Algarve for its climate, beaches and nightlife. Is recognised as a city of fishermen, of white houses and sheltered beaches, whose name comes from the Arabic. Occupied by the Romans in the mid-2nd century, it was reconquered by the Portuguese Crown in 1248.
Part of the city centre is only for pedestrians, including the old town around the Old Church, where few buildings have Moorish arches. It stands out the Church of St. Sebastian with a Manueline entrance, the Clock Tower, former Muslim tower considered the ex-libris of the city and on the beach, there are the boats where you can observe the fishermen.
It is currently known for its fine sand beaches, warm clear water that captivates the bathers, results also in high demand for international tourists. With over 30 Miles, the coastline of Albufeira is gifted with magnificent towering cliffs that dominate an extensive strip of golden sand between Vilamoura and the Olhos d`Água beaches, delimited by dunes and lagoons in the Salgados area, not forgetting the most famous beaches near urban areas also.
VILAMOURA
This town started in 1960, is located between Albufeira and Loulé and has an area of 1600 hectares. Unlike many resorts in the Algarve that had their origin in fishing villages, the sophisticated and luxurious Vilamoura was purposely built according to the needs of vacationers. In this town, you can visit the Roman ruins of Cerro da Vila dating from the 1st century AD, where you can see a complex of baths and mosaics of a house representing fishes.
The Marina of Vilamoura, one of the largest resorts in Europe and the main place of attraction in this town, receives luxurious yachts from all over the world. The brand shops, cafes, bars and restaurants of chic and cosmopolitan atmosphere complete the magnificent marina of Vilamoura. We also highlight the Casino of Vilamoura and the international DJs who work in local nightclubs.
Vilamoura is also a paradise for golf lovers, with numerous golf courses and prestigious professionals in the area, from where most of them you have spectacular views of pine forests, lakes with migratory birds and sea views from the top of cliffs. With a magnificent view over the marina, you can enjoy fresh fish or seafood, ending the meal with a famous "Don Rodrigo" or any sweet based on almond, fig based sweet or carob, the typical fruit of the region.
LOULÉ
From the Arabic, the name Loulé dates back to the Ancient Palaeolithic and Neolithic as proven by archaeological findings. There is also archaeological evidence of the Romans presence in Loulé as the age devoted to the goddess Diana, two bridges crossing the Álamo and Tôr and the necropolis. Currently, the annual festivities of Loulé Carnival with its colourful procession around the city centre are considered some of the most beautiful carnival parades in the country.
The Moorish origins are still visible in the tower of the Mother Church of Loulé called St. Clemente, with Gothic style and terminal Baroque decoration, from the 13th and the 16th centuries. The Castle, in the northern part of the city, is also of Moorish origin, but it was rebuilt in the 13th century. We also highlight the Church of Mercy which is a 16th-century building, with a Manueline portal of radiated type that houses two images from the 16th century.
