Further details:
The old towns of Cacela Velha and Castro Marim are near by and
well worth a visit.
Cacela is in fact
two towns; Cacela Velha - 'old' Cacela - and Vila Nova de Cacela -
'new' Cacela. Cacela Velha is a tiny, picturesque village with a
fort and a church sitting on a cliff overlooking the lagoon and
the sea. You can take nice walks through the countryside and along
the lagoon shore of the
Ria
Formosa (at low tide) between Cacela Velha and nearby Fábrica.
If you like gambling, there is a casino in
Monte Gordo as well as many restaurants offering Portuguese and
international cuisine. Also worth a visit is the beautiful town of
Tavira. It is very easy to lose
track of time in this lovely old town. You can spend hours
strolling the charming cobblestone streets with it’s many
restaurants, shops, bars and terraces to enjoy a refreshment in
the sun. Some
