Santa Maria Al Bagno
Quinta dos Alamos holidays keep it low-key, delivering all the glory of Portugal's southern coast with none of the crowds.
This quiet village embraces the simple pleasures that make the Algarve such a special hotspot – namely, good food and natural beauty. A mosaic of whitewashed houses, colourful courtyards and tiny tapas bars, Quinta dos Alamos is the best choice for that away-from-it-all atmosphere without feeling too cut off.
Next-door neighbour Guia's just a few minutes' walk away, and happens to have an exciting claim to fame. This is the town where piri-piri chicken was invented, and you won't be surprised to hear that they also perfected it. Stop by, tuck in, and wash it down with some delicious Portuguese wine.
There's a Blue Flag award-winning beach just a breezy 10-minute drive away. It features all the Portuguese postcard markings, including striking sea cliffs and golden sands, as well as a few beachfront restaurants and watersports to boot.
