The Algarve region
Located next to the natural park, there are many beautiful walks. To the east is Luz, and Salema is to the west. Clifftop walks can be taken in either direction with breathtaking scenery and wonderful flora and fauna. Surfing is very popular in this part of the Algarve with excellent beaches and some of the best waves in Europe. There are many surf schools offering courses in this area and a local one that does pickups in Burgau every day during the holiday season. For the windsurfing/kiting enthusiasts, Sagres (20 minutes) is an excellent location with consistent winds.
The development is in Burgau itself and only a few minutes walk from its restaurants and local shops. Luz is a 5 minute drive with a wider range of restaurants, shops and a larger supermarket. Lagos - a beautiful, historic town with funky bars and restaurants and marina - is 10 minutes drive. Anybody that likes to explore can really enjoy Burgau as their base to travel to the west coast (beautiful beaches/surfing). The famous Roman spa town Monchique and Sagres (the end of the world/great sunsets) are short drives away.
