Menhir Vila do Bispo
The
district of Vila do Bispo with its 70.000 ha Parque Natural do Sudoeste
Alentejano e Costa Vicentina is one of the few locations of the
Algarve where the nature environment has been almost untouched and
the rich cultural and historical heritage has been preserved.
Church Vila do Bispo
Tourist passing trough Vila do Bispo on their way to Sagres should
have a look at the octagonal tower of the main church completed
in the 18th Century and the nearby Ermida de Nossa Senhora de Guadelupe,
built by the Knights Templar in the 13th Century.
The gastronomy is known for its fresh fish and local sea food, including
rock barnacle harvested by the fishermen at no small risk from the
rocks along the shore.
