COSTA VICENTINA!
The natural park Parque Natural do Sudoeste Alentejano e Costa Vicentina lies in the southwest of Portugal. Its coastline extends over almost 150 km. The northern border of the park is a 160km-drive from Portugal’s capital, Lisbon. The park continues into the Algarve, the country’s most southern region. While the south coast of the Algarve is a popular holiday destination widely known for its numerous bays and beaches, few are aware of the natural beauty of the Costa Vicentina. Praia! gives you the chance to explore the sun, nature and sea of this natural park. Enjoy and respect its genuine beauty!
