Holidays in Goldra

An introduction to Goldra

Sundown is a very special time of day when you holiday in Goldra. For this is when the blazing sun lights up the panoramic views of the coastline, providing quite a spectacle to accompany your early evening aperitif. Perched on a hill near Loule, Goldra commands views which stretch east from the offshore islands near to Faro to Albufeira in the west – quite a sight at any time of day.

This is a sleepy little village, where you can hide away from the hurly-burly down on the coast, and soak up the mood of a more traditional Algarve. However summer holidays in Goldra needn't be all peace and quiet. For you're just down the road from the busy market town of Loule, where you can shop for local produce and handicrafts, shoulder to shoulder with the Portuguese in the towns famous, covered marketplace. If Loule is one gear too high, then try the traditional village of Santa Barbara De Nexe – this is a favourite with expats, so you'll find a tempting mixture of traditional and international cuisine in the surprisingly large number of restaurants here.
