One of the places in the south-western Algarve where Prince Henry the Navigator lived. Tradition says he stayed in a house which has now lost its original character and of which all that has been identified is the lintel of a 16th century door. There are several houses with 15th and 16th century doors.
Main Church - Of the original church, founded in the 16th century all that remains are the Manueline doorways at the front and side,. the bell tower which culminates in an octagonal pyramid, the arch of the main altar and at the back, a curious corbel with a human face.
Hermitage of Nossa Senhora de Guadalupe (Our Lady of Guadeloupe) - According to local tradition this was a place of prayer for Prince Henry the Navigator.



The small village offers no touristic services; at the only village's traffic lights, roads depart to some of the most beautiful and wild beaches of Algarve. In Raposeira one can have some refreshing drinks from Café Rodrigues or from Ali-Supermarket, and then it is all the way through the fields to the indicated beaches of Zavial and Ingrina.



Praia de Zavial

The best place to relax is the beach restaurant. Ocean waves are normally never too big. The best location for sunbathing is the medium sized sand and rock bay all the way to the left, where sunbeds are better protected from the wind.



Praia do Ingrina

Praia do Ingrina is only a few hundred meters from Zavial. The sandy beach is somewhat larger and flatter than Zavial, amd more appealing to surfers; there is a snack-bar at the beach.

Following the paths to the left, through the cliffs, one reaches Praia José Vaz (only by foot, no traffic access).

With the mythic atmosphere of Sagres and Saint Vincent?s Cape and the preserved beauty of a dramatic coast in the background, here is Vila do Bispo!? a place where nature and sea get together with history to give Vila do Bispo an unique character that is definitely worth a visit.

Partially set in the Natural Park of the South-west Alentejano (referring to Alentejo) and Vicentine Coast, the Vila do Bispo council is one of the few places in the Algarve where the wild nature, together with a rich historical-cultural patrimony, remains untouched.

From its people to the assorted gastronomy and the paradisiac beaches, Vila do Bispo allows you to practice all sorts of tourism and sports and enables a really healthy contact with nature.
The windmills which recorded the fact that for centuries Vila do Bispo was the breadbasket of the Algarve have disappeared. What remains, however, is the charm of whitewashed houses scattered down the slopes of a hill crowned by the looming bulk of a church tower.

The narrow streets which surround the church contain many houses typical of the old algarve, with whitewashed walls, bands of bright colour, carved stonework around doors and windows and coolshade even in the dog days.
