Loule makes an excellent day trip from the coast. In a single relaxed day you can fit history, the famous market, local shopping and a good meal.
The market and old town
The Municipal Market, with its Moorish-style building, is a must-see and a great starting point.
From there, the cobbled streets, craft shops and churches tell the story of the town.
Castle and views
The remains of the castle and the museum help you understand Loule past.
From the higher parts of town there are lovely views over the rooftops and the hills beyond.
Finish with food
After walking, a relaxed meal always hits the spot.
On the avenue, Pregaria is an easy stop for pregos, bifanas and burgers.
