  • Route of the Seven Hanging Valleys. The coast is full of cliffs from which to see unforgettable landscapes. This route, near Marinha beach, allows you to enjoy them in all their splendor.

  • Benagil Cave. A postcard landscape under a rock dome. That is this natural temple that you can only access by boat or kayak
