Although this large town does have a few high rise apartment blocks they don’t look out of place here and are softened by the abundant palms and grassy areas that thrive in this region. The wide streets give this town a spacious, open feel and strolling along them is a very pleasant experience whether you are shopping or just simply people watching. A rented serviced apartment or holiday letting in Monte Gordo provides the ideal base for exploring all that both this town and it’s surrounding regions has to offer and there is plenty here to suit everyone’s tastes.

The town’s beach is flat and wide and dotted with plenty of kiosks where you can buy refreshments and ices. The waters are warm and inviting and are ideal for a leisurely swim or a spot of windsurfing. The town’s main road runs alongside the beach and is fringed with palms and plenty of shops, cafes and restaurants if you fancy a bite to eat whilst enjoying some wonderful sea views.

There are plenty of facilities for recreational activities in Monte Gordo and at Tur Fortes Animacao Turistica Lda you can hire a bicycle for just a few pounds, buy tickets for nearby attractions and get help organising holiday daytrips. Isango can also organise some wonderful holiday tours from dolphin spotting cruises to jeep safaris. You can also take an excursion in an open top bus, visiting neighbouring towns and enjoy spectacular views and beautiful architecture.

Your serviced residence or aparthotel In Monte Gordo also provides you with convenient access to the Reserva Natural do Sapal. Just out of Monte Gordo this salt marsh nature reserve is home and breeding ground to 150 species of birds including flamingos and storks as well as numerous plant species and other wildlife.

If you are lucky enough to have a rented holiday apartment here in the month of July then you may well be privy to the Monte Gordo Book Fair as well as the four day festival, Noites da Moura Encantada, which is held in the neighbouring village of Cacela Velha. This festival is a celebration of the time when this region was under Arab rule and here you can enjoy a traditional Souk market, music, delicious cuisine and even some belly dancing.

Restaurante Stop 3 is a lovely little eatery tucked away up a backstreet within walking distance of your Monte Gordo holiday let. Here you can enjoy traditional Portuguese cuisine such as fresh fish or chicken cooked over charcoal or a wonderful Portuguese style steak. With excellent service, friendly, helpful staff and great value for money this restaurant really is worth a visit.
