Towns and Villages

Affording an excellent view over the beach, Zambujeira do Mar is a small fishing village where it is still possible to enjoy a feeling of great peace and tranquillity.

The beautiful beaches are one of the main attractions for the many visitors that come here, particularly in the summer, because of the region´s well preserved natural conditions and its excellent facilities for water sports.

Nature tourism and sport are amongst the most popular activities in this region, which is integrated into the Nature Park of the South-West Alentejo and the Costa Vicentina.

As far as its regional events are concerned, one of the great attractions in this area is the Festival of the South-West, which is held in August at the Herdade da Casa Branca. For three days, hundreds of young people flock to the area to listen to all kinds of musical performances.
