São Brás de Alportel,
​ALGARVE

The Algarve is situated in the southern region of Portugal and is blessed with sunshiny days all year long.

The town of São Brás de Alportel is located in the heart of the Eastern Algarve, in the transition zone between the “Barrocal” - a chain of hills - and the spectacular Serra do Caldeirão region, displaying the perfect scenery to enjoy relaxed days in contact with nature.

Old olive groves, little vineyards, and the ever-present cork oak woodlands are characteristic of this countryside landscape.

This centenary municipality prospered during the 19th century thanks to the cork industry, becoming the largest cork producing centre in Portugal and worldwide.

This little town has around 10,000 inhabitants and is a land of legends and enchanted Moors. The peaceful and relaxing way of life of the friendly population invites you to plunge into this valuable ethnographic, gastronomic and natural patrimony.

Since 2008 S.Brás de Alportel is a Cittaslow, where the quality of life is elected one of the main goals by slowing down the towns overall pace, and being environmentally friendly. Here we feel ourselves guests rather than merely tourists. There is a feeling that time has stopped, a sense of discovering the secret heart of the Algarve.

We're waiting for your visit.
See you soon!
