Burgau village oozes character with narrow cobbled streets leading down to a gorgeous sandy beach with a great beach bar. It has lots of good restaurants, cafe bars, small shops & supermarkets, church and an ATM. Burgau is located on the edge of a natural park with miles of stunning coastline stretching west to Cape St. Vincent with numerous beaches, coves, and cliffs. You can view the entire coastline of Costa Vincentina from Monchique Mountains a little inland. This natural park area is rich in flora & fauna with a wealth of bird species. The regional capital, Lagos, 6 miles, has an abundance of shops, bars, restaurants, nightclubs, ancient buildings, a marina and Zoo. Mild winters, low rainfall and 300 hrs. sunshine annually are great for golfing with 3 courses, Parque da Floresta and Boavista Golf Resort and Espiche Golf within 15 mins drive. Activities include horse ...
...riding, tennis, cycling, quad biking, hill-walking and all kinds of water sports. Most people who 'discover' Burgau for themselves return there again and again. Full of character, very friendly people, brilliant weather, great food, amazing sandy Blue Flag beach, local shops and restaurants. It really has the 'x' factor that most people are looking for!
The Algarve is a year-round destination, and many visitors prefer to go there in spring or winter, when the sunshine is still warm, longer days than in Northern Europe and there are a few less people about!
Summers are hot, but the humidity is tempered by gentle sea breezes and winter days are usually sunny and warm with cooler nights.
Burgau is an hour's drive from Faro Airport, mostly on the A22 motorway. While a car is not necessary, if you decide to hire one you can tear yourself away from the beach and explore the amazing variety of flora, fauna and scenic beauty of the surrounding Parque Natural of the Western Algarve which has an abundance of beautiful, unspoilt, sandy beaches and coves protected by dramatic cliffs.
A day trip to the spa town of Monchique to the North is a treat with lots of local foods, drinks and crafts to sample and buy, and from Monchique Mountains there are panoramic views of the whole South Western coastline and Atlantic Ocean. From Monchique travel to Arrifana on the West coast and marvel at the towering, sheer cliffs battered by Atlantic waves when taking the coastal route south to Cape St. Vincent.
The regional capital of Lagos has lots of shops and restaurants lining its historic winding streets and a large yacht marina from where you can take boat trips for fishing, visiting coastal caves and grottoes and dolphin watching. You can swim with tame dolphins at ZooMarine, or have a day's fun at the water parks near Albufeira.
This is the quieter, more scenic part of the Algarve where you can escape the cares and stresses of life and indulge in the wonderful foods, genuine friendliness of the people and the slower pace of life.
You can look for bargains at the small daily morning market on your way to the beach which is at the bottom of a narrow cobbled street lined with small shops and cafes. The Beach Bar has great food and is perfect to quench you thirst, gaze out to sea or have a chat in the shade.
In summer there is a regular local bus service to Lagos, Luz and other beaches and there is a wide variety of sports available in the area including tennis, squash, swimming lessons, watersports, soccer and horse riding.
The Algarve is one of Europe's major destinations for Golf, and there is a large choice of superb courses. Espiche Golf Course, 12 mins, has very competitive rates and it's 12 mins to Parque da Floresta/Sta Antonio Golf and 15 mins drive to Boa Vista Golf. Palmares Links and Penina Golf are also nearby. All courses welcome visitors and normal golf etiquette applies.
