Holidays in Branqueira

An introduction to Branqueira

If you're looking for a quieter atmosphere, but also want to be within easy reach of fun, entertainment and nightlife, Branqueira is a good choice. It's a friendly little village with a supermarket, a few cafes, bars and restaurants. But its location is the big selling point for anyone who doesn't like to be too 'away from it all'. Just a few miles down the road is the super-resort of Albufeira, one of the Algarve's hottest spots for beach and night life. The narrow cobbled streets of the old town give just a hint of the past, when this stretch of coastline was made up of little more than small fishing ports. But the emphasis today is firmly on the cosmopolitan rather than the traditional. And the resort has sprawled to take in other bays, for example Montechoro, where the famous 'strip' is packed with English-style pubs, bars and restaurants. For a less lively ambience, head for the charming bay of Santa Eulalia, where you'll find a gorgeous stretch of sand, backed by low cliffs and fragrant pine trees. And if you lose your appetite for the limited choice of eateries in Branqueira, its worth venturing out and about. This area is renowned for its excellent cuisine, and you'll find a variety of establishments serving everything from local specialities like chicken peri-peri, grilled sardines or barbecued pork to gourmet French and Italian fare.
