Parque Natural do Sudoeste Alentejano e Costa Vicentina

One of the finest stretches of protected coast in Europe. Over 100 km of natural habitat from Porto Covo in the Alentejo, to Burgau in the Algarve

The Southwest Alentejo and Vicentine Coast Natural Park is a huge swathe of the coast of Southern Portugal taking in much of the Atlantic coasts of the Algarve and Alentejo. It stretches for around 150 km (100 miles) from Porto Covo in the Alentejo around Cabo de Sao Vicente to Burgau in the Algarve.

The park includes a range of natural habitats but also protects the cultural heritage of this historic coastline.
