Tucked between the Atlantic Ocean and the low, wind-exposed land of the western Algarve, Vila do Bispo e Raposeira is a place whose character is shaped by its maritime climate. These neighbouring settlements lie in the municipality of Vila do Bispo, where open farmland gives way to cliffs, small beaches and headlands protected by the Southwest Alentejo and Vicentine Coast Natural Park. The area is close to Cape St Vincent, one of mainland Europe’s southwestern extremities. On the southern coast, Sagres Fortress recalls the maritime world of Portugal’s Age of Discovery and the history of the wider municipality.
