Aljezur Essentials

Aljezur combines Moorish history with the rugged Atlantic coast of the Algarve. The town is centered around a 10th-century hilltop castle, overlooking a valley where the Aljezur River winds toward the sea. The surrounding coastline is defined by dramatic schist cliffs and expansive beaches like Arrifana and Amoreira. This selection covers the region's essential landmarks, from the archaeological remains of a 12th-century Moorish monastery at Ponta da Atalaia to the traditional market showcasing local sweet potatoes and fresh Atlantic fish.
