Europe has thousands of hidden treasures. On the western coast of the Algarve and in the heart of the Natural Park of Southwest Alentejo and Costa Vicentina, Aljezur is one of the most preserved destinations in Europe.
Undeniably beautiful, Aljezur conserves unforgettable landscapes between the mountains and the sea, in harmony with its valuable natural and cultural heritage. From north to south, from Odeceixe to Carrapateira, the county offers many reasons to visit: monuments, archaeological remains of high interest, museums, windmills, and water mills, cultural landscapes, historical-cultural and environmental circuits and pedestrian routes and signposted btt, gastronomy and local quality products, festivities of regional and national importance. The coastline is cut in a unique way by nature, where, on a coast of about 40 km, there are beaches for all tastes, from Odeceixe, chosen as one of the 7 Wonders - Beaches of Portugal, to Amado, famous worldwide for the practice of surfing. Wanted throughout the year, they mark in a unique way who visits them, whether by the sun and sea, for sports or even for a simple walk by the sea. It also offers a quality of life, linked to sport and leisure, always in harmony with the natural values. You can find the practice of hiking, with observation of flora and fauna, mountain biking, surfing and bodyboarding, sport fishing, orienteering, horse riding, among other modalities. The region also offers some important pedestrian routes.
Nooks and enchanted places are one of the other characteristics of Aljezur allied to excellent products such as fish (sea bream, sea bream or sea bass) and shellfish (barnacles, mussels, barnacles, burgaus, sea urchins), which give gastronomy one of the strongest calls for a visit to the region.
The property market appears realistic and relatively well balanced. In Aljezur there aren´t lots of properties for sale. However LUXIMOS Christie´s has some listings as the Boat House.
