Cerro d'Aguia is a ridge, which runs from the western side of Albufeira, parallel to the coast.
Location:
The villas here boast spectacular views across the countryside to the new marina development and the sea beyond. Vale de Parra is the area between Cerro d'Aguia and the coast.
General Information:
There are some wonderful restaurants, for example Sáo Domingos, which has a good menu, including some excellent vegetarian dishes and our clients are made especially welcome here. Also, O Marinheiro Restaurant, which specialises in fresh fish. Guia is close by; slightly inland and famous for its modestly priced chicken piri-piri restaurants (dry cooked, with a spicy chilli marinade), but you can also find other dishes, including excellent prawns at Sr Diego's Palladium restaurant, where there is always a warm welcome for our clients.
Where to go:
A new marina is under construction in the valley just to the west of Albufeira behind Baleeira beach and a small, sheltered harbour has been created in the small Baleeira bay, protected from the prevailing winds . Algarve shopping is just outside Guia and has some marvellous boutiques, restaurants, cinemas and ten pin bowling. This area is more or less in the centre of the Algarve and so is a good base as there are numerous things to do and see within a very short drive.
Beaches:
The best known beach is Galé, a vast expanse of golden sand with restaurants and water sports, including jet ski-ing and parasailing, there is also a 'banana' - great fun for the kids! Galé can be busy in the summer months, but turn down any of the tracks along the coast road and you are likely to find a quiet beach or bay.
Resort Suitability:
Our villas enjoy superb seas views and are within easy reach of the beach and just a short distance from the Pateo area where a small selection of quality restaurants can be found.
Facts for Travellers:
Vale de Parra - Valley of the Grapevines- runs west of Albufeira, which on the seaward side can be found the beautiful sandy beaches of Sao Rafael, Castelo and Gale each with their own delightful beach restaurants and numerous smaller sandy coves separating the main sandy beaches
Comments:
Ideal for those seeking tranquility and relaxation yet with Albufeira and Armacao de Pera just a few kilometers away. On the landward side can be found an area of select villa development.
