Holidays in Espiche

An introduction to Espiche

Holidays in Espiche give you the chance to tuck yourself away in rural Portugal, with beaches, bars and cheerful resorts right next door. Praia Da Luz is your nearest holiday town – a favourite with families for its inviting beach and winding, whitewashed lanes brimming with laid back restaurants. Just along the coast lies Burgau – a working fishing village that has opened its arms to holidaymakers too. It's a lovely walk between the two along the coast.

However return to Espiche at the end of the day and you know that you're seeing a more authentic side of the Algarve. For this is a thriving community, where bars and restaurants are frequented by locals as well as those on their summer holiday in Espiche. Festivals are jolly affairs, and you might catch sight of the local menfolk slithering around on a greasy pole, or competing to 'catch the pig' as they race through the streets.

There's more than enough to do in the local area, even if you've booked a cheap holiday to Espiche and are watching your budget. Firstly, the Algarve's spectacular beaches are the best free entertainment you could wish for, and this area is blessed with gems such as Praia de Almadena and Praia de Salena. For a spot of culture, you only have to explore the picturesque streets of Lagos, where street performers entertain, and tanks of big pincered crabs and lobsters delight children and hungry adults alike outside the restaurants.
