Location

Loulé, the racy, cosmopolitan lifestyle of the world's leading tourist centres. A long ribbon of fine, golden sand tucked between the blue of the sea and the bold ochre of the cliffs. The splendour of tiles in a chapel that is itself a work of art.

The changing greens of the orchards and the woods of the hills. An endless variety of decorated chimneys, carefully wrought in a filigree of whitewashed stone and art.

Wide open spaces where it is possible to rediscover the meaning of solitude and listen to the silence of nature. With all this and more, Loulé municipality is a place of sunshine and colour, fun and excitement.

Beaches

Thanks to its golden sands and sunny climate the whole of the coast has become a major centre for beach holidays and includes some of the best tourist facilities in the Algarve.

• Vilamoura - Vilamoura's attractive beach is complemented by a tourist development that ranks with the biggest and most prestigious in Europe.
• Quarteira - Once a simple fishing village, Quarteira has become a cosmopolitan tourist centre. Its past identity can be glimpsed in a 17th century church and a few houses decorated with coloured borders.
• Vale de Lobo - A beach that owes its unique beauty to its ochre and ruby cliffs. It is surrounded by a high quality tourist complex.
• Garrão - Long beach edged with brightly coloured cliffs. Facilities for tourists.
