- Almádena village has several bars/resturants/cafes and a shop. For a generous family meal in the village, the must go restaurant is Brodie's
- Praia da Luz is a popular family beach resort with all the facilities you would expect and excellent restuarants.
- Burgau is a pretty but small beach resort with a fishing past, plenty of bars and several good quality restaurants. We love to dine at the Burgau Beach Bar (but make sure you book well in advance).
- Lagos is a charming and vibrant town with excellent tourist facilities, historic buildings, famously scenic beaches (e.g Dona Ana), trendy bars, clubs and is easily accessible by bus. For later evenings out, reaonably priced taxis are easily available from the town's taxi rank for the return trip.
- The village bus stop is 5 minutes walk from the house with a regular, reliable service to Lagos (fare 2 Euros). Burgau and Praia da Luz are also served by local buses from the village. Timetables always available online
- There is more than one waterpark within a drivable distance for the odd family trip. We suggest Slide 'n Splash (20-25 mins drive)
Other things to do include:-
- Visit the historic and attractive Moorish town of Silves
- Visit the world class surfing beaches in Sagres and the west coast (try Praia do Amado) within 30 mins drive.
- Several golf resorts and a few water parks & sports centres within easy reach.
- Wide range of other activities available to holiday makers in the area (boat trips, fishing, dolphin watching, kayaking, horse riding/trekking, scuba diving, tennis etc).
- Lovely spring walks along the coast and in the Algarve hinterlands.
