Aljezur is a small, quiet town whose main activity is
agriculture. Even so, this part of the Western Algarve
has some marvelous and extensive beaches with enormous expanses of sand or
small bays protected by cliffs.
Aljezur is within the borders of the Nature Reserve of Costa Vicentina, that
extends from Burgau, in the Borough of Vila do Bispo, to Ribeira da Junqueira,
in São Torpes, Borough of Sines (Alentejo) and out to sea, for a 2 km strip,
all along the coast.
