The Algarve is famous for its beaches, but its inland towns tell a richer story. Loule, just minutes from the coast, is one of the best places to see the region beyond the sand.
A different Algarve
Away from the resorts, Loule offers a more authentic pace, with markets, crafts and daily life.
It is the Algarve that many visitors never take the time to discover.
What to explore
The Municipal Market, the historic centre and the surrounding hills are all worth your time.
The town is compact and easy to explore on foot.
Eat like a local
To really get to know a place, eat where the locals do.
On the avenue, Pregaria serves the kind of honest Portuguese food that defines the region.
