Hilary and Dennis. Date of travel: Jul 2005
It was great wandering around the narrow streets of the old town which still has its original feel. It is becoming a mixture of the old and new but has not yet become overdeveloped.The beach is long, wide and sandy but shelves steeply into the sea in some areas. A good selection of bars and restaurants here to suit all taste and ages except perhaps the young and lively. We stayed at the Hotel Pestana Levante which was an excellent choice and not too rowdy. Only about 100 metres from the beach. Tour Operator: Thomson
