Evening on the coast

Start your trip by registering at the hotel. You can also leave things in the luggage room until the time of arrival is right. After check-in, take a look around the back: this is a resort spa hotel that has not only access to the beach, but also an indoor and outdoor swimming pool, spa and gym, which you can use every day.

When you leave the hotel, look around and take a walk. You can start by going to the beach, Praia de Senhora da Rocha. This is a real paradise. The water here is very clean, there is always a light breeze from the ocean. On the beach, on the soft white sand, you can sit down to play ball or sunbathe. Recreation here is complemented by picturesque scenery of the bay and the ocean.

Near the coast, on a small promontory, there is a whitewashed church worthy of attention. Inside, the decoration is not particularly rich, but there are traditional azulejo tiles in the interior. The Chapel of Nossa Senhora da Rocha is located near the village of Porchis. The place on the rock where the chapel is located is called Castelo de Porches. Ancient fortifications existed here since Roman times. According to legend, there was an apparition of the Virgin Mary, which was the reason for the construction of the chapel on this site. In the 16th century, a fort was erected here to protect against the Moorish invaders, but because of the strong ocean waves that constantly hit the rocks, the fort was severely damaged when the rock fell, while the chapel survived.

Back from the chapel, you can have dinner in a small restaurant called Aquamar. This very cozy place specializes in the preparation of quality seafood. All dishes are of the highest quality and freshness and are strictly monitored.

Next morning, get some sleep, relax, go to the swimming pools, go to the spa or go to the beach, have breakfast in one of the restaurants or order breakfast in the room. Enjoy the beautiful views from the window and stop this moment of relaxation and relaxation, before exploring the Algarve.
