On the rugged west coast of the Algarve lies Carrapateira, a small surfers' village that is also a crossroads of various hiking trails. The atmosphere is laid-back and the landscape rugged and pure – ideal for those who love nature and simplicity.
🍴 Go for lunch at O Pontal restaurant – simple but tasty, and perfectly located. Fresh fish, grilled vegetables, vongole – simplicity at its best, with a view of the quiet village square.
There aren't many sights, but a short climb to the church on top of the hill is worth it: you are rewarded with a beautiful view.
