Tourist Guide

Most people travel to the South of Portugal to spend time at the beaches of the Algarve. But beyond that... there is so much more to be explored! Ria Formosa, an immense (and picturesque!) body of water, is a great place for walks and wildlife spotting! #localgem

Our holiday was to unwind and this visit we did not go to Almancil.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

Marias restaurant is still our favourite. Booking is essential. The new U & Co. just next to the Praca is also a new gem finding for eating out in the day. Lovely coffee, cake, wine and wraps etc. with very friendly staff.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

A great selection of fantastic restaurants in and around Almancil at prices to suit all budgets. Easy access to beautiful uncrowded beaches and good walks

4/5 - Good

Andy

Pockets of visible glamour, glitz and wealth. Not suitable for the budget conscious; Some areas need a bit of TLC. But overall enjoyable.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

Beautiful beaches and fantastic restaurants. You'll need a car or use uber, they were cheap, lovely drivers and clean cars.

3/5 - Okay
